Our slate roof installation expertise
Existing roof removed.
The existing roof is removed and we will inspect for any damage that is to be repaired or replaced to provide a stable foundation for new slates.
Waterproofing barrier.
Sarking is installed over the roof deck to provide an additional waterproof barrier and protect against moisture infiltration before the high-quality slates are installed.
Design and layout
The layout and design of the slate roof are planned to achieve the desired aesthetic and functional goals. Considerations such as roof pitch, exposure, pattern, and overlap are considered during the design phase.
Slate installation
Slates are installed starting from the eaves and working upwards in overlapping rows.
Each slate is carefully positioned, aligned, and secured using appropriate fasteners such as copper nails. Special care is taken to ensure proper spacing, alignment, and coverage to create a tight, watertight seal.
Waterproof flashing
Flashing is installed around roof penetrations, valleys, chimneys, and other vulnerable areas to provide additional protection against water infiltration.
Ornate detailing
Custom details such as ridge caps, hip caps, and drip edges may be fabricated and installed to enhance the roof’s appearance and functionality.
Once all the slates are installed, any remaining detailing, sealing, or finishing touches are completed.
Inspection
The roof is inspected to ensure that all work has been done to a high standard and that the roof is watertight and structurally sound.
Cleanup and completion
We will ensure that all debris is cleared, and the work area is cleaned up to leave the property in a tidy condition.
Maintenance recommendations
We can provide recommendations for ongoing maintenance to help prolong the lifespan of the new slate roof and prevent future damage.
Throughout the installation process we will keep you informed with regular updates at every stage ensuring transparent communication.
