1Wally 204 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) I've got just over 300 roof slates. They're 250 x 400mm (10 x 16"). Can anyone give me a clue as to what they're worth? I've just been gifted em for doing my neighbours garden. It's took me half hour to carry em into my man cave and I know if I don't get rid quick they'll end up stayin there forever haha.

hutch6 550 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 No idea. Get yourself to a reclamation yard and that should give you an idea then ring around roofing companies and ask if they want any for an under cut price. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiercel 6,986 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I just spoke to my bother who deals in welsh slates. He told me they are an odd size 10x20 and 12x24 being the norm. Unless some one is doing a porch there are not enough slates of the odd size to do anything with. TC 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
