Slate Roofing
Natural slate offers unmatched elegance and a lifespan exceeding a century when installed correctly. We specialize in working with the traditional slate roofs common across London's period properties and heritage buildings.
When You Need Slate Roofing
Frequent slipped or sliding slates after high winds hit your neighborhood. A crumbling white powdery residue on the underside of your slates caused by nail sickness. Your property is a Victorian or Edwardian home requiring authentic heritage restoration. Widespread slate breakage due to weathering, age, or poor historic installation methods.
How We Do It
We assess the structural integrity of your roof rafters and existing slate battening. We present a clear plan outlining whether a partial restoration or a complete re-slate is necessary. We hand-nail grade-one natural slates using copper nails and secure lead details around junctions. We finish with a thorough debris clearance and inspect every square meter for a flawless finish.
What to Expect
A full slate roof replacement typically takes between 3 to 7 days depending on property size and scaffolding requirements.
