New Spanish Slate Roof
A new roof, complete with new Spanish slate
This is our most recent slate re-roof project, and it was a much-needed intervention for the property. The roof was in a sorry state, with damaged and worn slates, some of which were slipping out due to previous poor craftsmanship. Not only that, but the old bitumen felt was failing to properly direct water into the gutter, resulting in internal property damage.
To set things right, we began by meticulously removing all old slates, felt, and battens. We then proceeded to re-felt and batten the entire area, ensuring a solid foundation for the new roofing materials. As we progressed, we strategically staggered the battens to optimize structural integrity. The installation of fresh Spanish slates and modern ridges transformed the roof, providing both durability and aesthetic appeal. Additionally, we added a bonding gutter to further enhance the roof's longevity.
Completing the project with finesse, we meticulously rebedded and pointed the ridge line, resulting in a polished finish that not only improved the property's appearance but also ensured its protection for years to come.
