Slate roofing that respects the building, whether replacing a few slipped slates or installing a full new slate covering. Work includes careful slate matching, renewal of rotten battens, breathable underlay installation where needed and expert pointing to preserve period character on Victorian and Edwardian roofs as well as modern builds.
Natural slate or manmade tiles require different fixings and techniques. Natural Welsh or Scottish slate is fixed and dressed differently to fibre-cement alternatives. The team assesses each roof, recommends suitable slate and flashings, and carries out lead work and chimney detailing to current good practice so valleys, abutments and ridges remain leak free.

Frequently Asked Questions
We inspect your roof to identify slate type, size and colour then source reclaimed or new matching slates where possible. Photographs and samples are used on-site before work begins so replacements blend with the existing roof.
