Currently in discussion with a roofer and trying to decide between natural and synthetic slate. He says that there's not much difference in terms of fitting complexity but that the difference is "the cost to yourself as for natural slate the good ones that don’t twist are 3 times more expensive."
Does that ring any bells with anyone? I'd assumed that the difference in slates from different origins was in terms of durability and colour, not in the flatness of the slates as supplied.
