At this point in time the thought of running up massive bills to repair you roof was driving you insane. There is no need for madness, just a bit of common knowledge for your own benefit. No you have assessed the type of roof you have and run off to the hardware store to make sure you have anything and everything that you could possibly need for any roof leak repair.
 
The time arrives when you finally have to do that roof leak repair; it seems like a daunting task, but the dripping sound in a bucket is more annoying than having the challenge of fixing it.

You chase up the roof, assuming all materials used from just looking from below were the same, but some clever person had to just use various materials on certain sections of the roof. A very, very frustrating task is now on hand. It has just dawned on you that you need to do a slate roof repair job on your roof too.

Had you known beforehand, you could have been more prepared. Your simple roof leak repair job has now become an issue for you to complete.

Knowing Your Home
 
It is important to know when you purchase a home what materials are used where. Even if you have to go onto the roof and check for yourself, at least you will have gained some knowledge and can do your own research to find out how much repairs cost verses buying and organizing the materials yourself to do the job yourself which could be more cost effective. If you don't know, you can always ask a roofing contractor, the hardware store, or Google the information yourself at home.
