The surveying of stone slate roofs in the Yorkshire Dales
Deals with the surveying of stone slate roofs within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Initially examines the history of stone slating in the area and then identifies problems today due to lack of new materials and loss of craft techniques. Gives practical advice on the surveying of the roof coverings and preliminary guidance on preparation and equipment. This is then followed by a standard format approach to the survey dealing with the coverings, ridge, verge and other details, followed by the internal inspection and condition of the slates, battens and fixings. Discusses costings and concludes that a standard format is the most suitable and that the building professional should be aware of regional variations when working with the material. Detailed surveys of the roof will allow repairs and replacement to be specified confidently.
