When re-slating may be appropriate
Occasional slate failure can often be addressed locally. Where defects are widespread, fixings have deteriorated across large areas, or repeated repairs no longer provide a durable result, a partial or full re-slate may become the more appropriate project to assess.
What slate re-roofing and re-slating can involve
Depending on the building, work may include stripping the existing covering, assessing timber and sarking, salvaging serviceable slate, sourcing compatible replacement material, renewing underlayers and addressing lead valleys, flashings, ridges, dormers or other roof details.
Period and heritage properties
For listed buildings, conservation-area properties and other traditionally constructed homes, material choice and detailing can be especially important. Include the property status and any professional advice or permissions already obtained when you submit the enquiry.
Compare specialist approaches
For suitable substantial projects, we can arrange quotations from up to three independent contractors. This gives the owner a practical way to compare proposed scope, materials, timing, price and experience without having to source multiple specialist firms independently.
