Specialist contractor sourcing for churches and heritage buildings
Scottish Slate Roofers helps churches, trusts, vestries and professional project teams identify independent contractors for substantial slate, traditional and heritage roofing work. We work alongside the client’s existing architect, surveyor, quantity surveyor or procurement process rather than replacing it.
When we can help
The service is most useful where a church or heritage building has a substantial roofing package approaching contractor selection and would benefit from additional specialist options.
- Natural slate re-roofing and major repairs
- Leadwork, valleys and traditional detailing
- Towers, spires and chimneys
- Traditional rainwater goods
- Complex heritage roof packages
- Remote or difficult-to-place projects
How the process works
The client or professional team confirms that the project is open to suitable contractor introductions. We then identify a small number of independent firms whose experience, location and capacity appear relevant. The client and its advisers decide who, if anyone, proceeds to quotation or tender.
Clear professional boundaries
Scottish Slate Roofers is a contractor-sourcing and introduction service. We do not provide architectural, surveying, structural, quantity-surveying or conservation advice, and we do not select or appoint a contractor on the client’s behalf. Due diligence, tender assessment and appointment remain with the client and its advisers.
Contractor fit
Relevant considerations can include demonstrated slate and traditional roofing experience, heritage or conservation experience where required, project scale, geography and willingness to travel, current capacity, and appropriate insurance or project-specific requirements.
