Roof Slating and Tiling by Frank Bennett
This facsimile edition of Bennett and Pinion's classic work, first published in 1935, provides an invaluable source of information on all aspects of the slating and tiling industry. It examines the various types of roof coverings that were traditionally used, such as slates, clay tiles and shingles, and includes basic aspects such as sorting and holding states, through to more complex aspects involved in sorting and setting out a diminishing course roof, and forming swept and laced valleys. The book also looks at special roofing techniques relating to curved roofs and cupolas. It considers the care of roofs, discussing the faults which can appear, and why they may have occurred, and then how best to repair them.
For those seeking more information on traditional roofing it is marvellous to have this book in print againRICS Building Conservation Journal - a hands-on book aimed primarily at roofers who wanted to broaden their skills, well illustrated and laid out, full of detail and examples, and written with an engaging enthusiasm. - a minor classic Journal of Architectural Conservation
