In addition, the damaged sheet must not cause deformation of the adjacent. If you are simply laying the whole leaf from top increased floor load, are not excluded deformation of the slate, leading to the formation of new cracks, and the water in the rain will still seep under the sheet, especially on a pitched roof.
