Got another slate job coming up and been using Genius roofing kit in the past which we have been pleased with but all the same a fair bit of work involved. Has anyone used the Easy Roof on slate and what was your experience.
Has anyone had any experience in installing the Mage mini flash alu fixing system. I'm looking for a quick solution to fixing a 50kw system to a fibre slate roof and it looks like it should work. Your thoughts and opinions are appreciated
