​

Master Craftsmanship & Specialist Slate Works

​

Every roof we construct or repair is built using traditional skills combined with modern best practices:

​

• Slate Grading, Cutting & Dressing: We carefully grade each slate by thickness and hand-dress them to ensure a tight, uniform fit across the entire roof.

• Scottish Slate Expertise: We specialize in working with original Scottish slate, expertly cutting and dressing reclaimed pieces to maintain the historic character of your property.

• Sarking Boarding Works: We repair and install solid roof sarking timber boards to create a sturdy, durable foundation for your roof deck.

• High-Spec Breathable Membranes: We install premium water-resistant, breathable underlayment to maximize ventilation and eliminate moisture buildup.

• Fixings Built to Last: All slates are double-nailed using heavy-duty copper slate nails to ensure maximum rust resistance and hold.

• Custom Slate Valleys & Hips: We cut slate precise to fit roof hips, valleys, and dormers, ensuring complete watertight integrity at every junction.

• Leadwork & Zinc Ridging: Our specialists fit zinc ridging and carry out bespoke lead flashings around chimneys, valleys, and abutments for ultimate storm protection.

 

Versatile Slate Options

​

We supply, grade, and install a wide range of natural slates to suit your budget, aesthetic, and structural requirements:

​

• Spanish Slate: High-grade, cost-effective slate offering a smooth, uniform appearance and exceptional longevity.

• Scottish Slate: Sourced for historic restorations and period repairs where authentic local character is essential.

• Welsh Slate: World-renowned for its unmatched strength, rich tones, and superior durability.

• Brazilian Slate: A modern, flat-profile option with high structural strength and a clean finish.

 

Safe, Clean, & Controlled Stripping Works

Stripping an existing roof for a complete re-roofing project is a serious undertaking. It is a major down-taking process that creates significant weight, dust, and debris. Without strict management, it can easily turn into a messy and hazardous job.

We prioritize health and safety on every job site:

​

• Comprehensive Risk & Scope Assessments: Before a single slate is removed, we conduct detailed site assessments to plan safety protocols, structural support, and property protection.

• Professional Scaffolding & Hoists: Safe access setups allow our team to maneuver heavy materials efficiently without risking your property.

• Debris Chutes & On-Site Skips: Roof waste is funneled directly into dedicated skips using enclosed debris chutes, keeping dust contained and site walkways clear.

• Tidy Site Guarantee: We respect your property. Our crew cleans and clears the site daily, leaving your home spotless throughout the build and upon final project completion.
