    Man, I wish I would have seen this video before I went prancing about on my roof in my leotard. Could have saved myself a lot of trouble.

    Did he fall off? I got bored of his waffle.

    Oh yes, that last point. I have been surprised by a shower of rain on concrete tiles. I lost a lot of grip, so I sat down and waited until it stopped.

    Use foam bumper pads and stop cracking tiles. Geez.

    If you lean forward onto your arms you’re increasing the chances of your feet sliding backwards. I’ve nearly fallen off roofs doing that. Professional roofers all walk upright, and ideally stay near their cat ladder unless there’s scaffolding in place.

    Had to strap on a few chimney cowls that were awkward to carry by hand due to their large size, your tip about using a rucksack was genius. Thanks mate

    As an old school slater i can't remember ever having the luxury of picking a dry day to work, especially in Scotland 😂. Some of the shit we had to do like brushing off snow in order to work woulda had health & safety having seizures. Any kids thinking about being slaters...dont! Trust me 😬

    Great video. Thanks. I've got moss to clean out of a gully which is making my roof leak. This gave me top tips.
