    I bought new Fibre cement slate 1 euro each?
    Ridge caps 10 euro each?

    Roofer will lay a fibre cement slate for 70 cent?

    Does that sound like the going rate or a good deal.
    Whats the going rate for laying standard man-made slate?

    Thanks in advance:)

    Sounds pretty good for the slates - really depends on the manufacturer/quality of the slate. are you using fibre cement or clay ridges? €10 may be a little expensive for fibre cement especially looking at the €1 per slate.
    I paid €1.08 per slate for Berona fibre cement slates approx 10 months ago and then €8.50 per clay ridge after that if memory serves correctly. My roofer charged approx €5000 to fit approx 5000 slates but this was a fairly tricky roof as well.

    Sounds like you're getting a good deal, if the price includes cutting in valley's, roof lights, roof windows, or dormers you're doing very well.

    No valleys or lead but do have 4 no. velux.
    Most fibre cement ridges quoted were €12 inc vat.

    I assume 70cent a slate is good value?
    Thanks:)
