As with most of my skills it’s a mixture of being shown how to do it , having the confidence to tackle a slate or tiled roof and a lot of other skills ( brickwork , carpentry for example) the heights thing for me is ok as long as I feel safe , so I insisted on scaffolding for my safety and that of the carers constantly visiting my friend . The other part is knowing when out of your comfort zone and stopping. If you start a thread I’ll be very interested in what you need doing that a 5 figure job. My work on this particular roof is limited to replacing some tiles at the lower edge of the roof and some ridge tiles on the hip if that’s the correct term as they are extremely thin and in danger of sliding off the roof .finally new soffit and facias   then cladding and new guttering/ and a new soil pipe oh and new tv Ariel
