PITCHED ROOFING USING INTERLOCKING TILES AND SLATES

Course Overview
CPD TC1 Principles of Pitched Roofing using Interlocking Tiles and Slates

This module involves delegates completing a ‘garage sized’ model roof from trusses to completion. Product selection, underlays, ventilation, setting out, tile laying/fixings and wet and dry systems are included to complete the days training.

This course forms the basis for the modular package of training offered by Redland. A visit to the adjacent factory to view the production of concrete plain tiles may also be possible outside scheduled course hours.
