A slate

Winter maintenance of the pitched roof includes snow cleaning. There is no need to leave a layer of snow, but when cleaning, you must also be careful not to damage the roof material. It is not recommended to use metal tools when cleaning, since there is a high probability of leaving a scratch or dent, which will become the basis for corrosion, whether it is a slate or a metal roof. The best plastic or wooden shovel (without a metal edging) and a plastic broom for cleaning is suitable for cleaning.
