Industrial . Commercial . Domestic Roofing Contractors
For many years our company has carried out works to listed buildings such as Churchs, Town Halls etc. The vast majority tend to be natural slate, Westmoreland or Welsh slate with Lead to box gutters, valleys and various structural features. We carry time served slaters capable of Westmoreland random slating, which is a dying trade.
When complete, a newly recovered roof with second hand slate should look as original and not stand out as being new.The Conservation project below was completed by O'Connor Roofing Services
As you can see from this picture this roof looks original, The lead Cheeks to the steeple have been renewed. Original second hand slate has been used to keep the look of the building. The use of coloured mortar for ridge tiles will hide the fact that they are newly rebeded. A common mistake is to use standard mortar for ridges, but on completion they are clearly newly bedded thus spoiling the look of the building.
