Slate Roofing
Traditional slating for the region's older stock: sympathetic repairs, re-slating and matching reclaimed slate.
How we can help
A lot of the housing stock in Dumfries & Galloway is traditional slate, and it deserves roofers who know how to work with it. We repair and re-slate using methods and materials that suit the building, including sourcing reclaimed slate to match what's already there.
Natural slate is a different job from a modern slate-look tile: the fixings, the laps and the detailing around valleys and hips all follow traditional methods that a lot of newer roofers simply haven't been trained in. Done properly it's also remarkably long-lived, a well-maintained natural slate roof can outlast the house it's on by generations, it's usually the nails and battens underneath that fail long before the slate itself does.
