Roofer for 22 years , do not rely on silicone or sealants for anything

Slater for 32 years, the silicone’s of yesteryear do not compare to what’s available nowadays, but like everything: they only work if they are used correctly.

[@lukeleppitt9397]

Hi! Great video, what is the black sheet material you have used underneath the slate ridge? Is that roofing felt or somthing else?

[@jacksmith4484]

Dpm by looks of it

[@lizplatts5237]

Hi need help can you buy ridge caps for slate roofs. SO FED UP WITH MORTAR KEEP FALLING OUT.

[@tranderrick]

Just get a roll of lead and do it the right way

[@johnnoyes4448]

That is not much coverage and will leak. Sorry.

[@andyeveritt9003]

putting good slate on the roof then relying on dpm and silicone
at the ridge not good

[@garethmcrae668]

I would respectfully suggest you review this and take it down- it really doesn't look right with the 'slipped' slates and wonky overlaps.

[@larrycrookshanks9091]

Well you obviously don't know how to install slate ridges. Your giving 8" exposure on a 14" slate which is wrong. If it's a 14 " slate the most you can give for exposure is 6 1/2". Then the correct sequence is right side with left side over ,then left side again with right side overlapping both and continuing with the same sequence.

[@littlechugs6345]

Can you expand on this a little please.

[@davidcaldwell4953]

This is just a made up method of slating what a strange way of capping the ridge line .Traditional ridge methods work well and have stood the test of time

[@eastside0434]

Don't use a caulking gun on a slate roof.

[@martinbyrne6643]

I hate to see silicon used ‘ it will eventually break down and leaks will happen ‘ better to use a ridge the way it was always done

[@Dhleeiv]

Wont matter. Nails are in place

[@taffytop]
