Last year we reroofed both elevations of a stone built terraced house in Lancashire. Many of the Welsh Slates were in good condition meaning only a small supplement with handpicked reclaimed.
Welsh Slate are aesthetically pleasing and durable. Undisturbed and installed correctly, their lifespan could exceed 100 years.
The full list of works undertaken in-house by our team of specialists included:
- Strip and Sort Welsh Slates
- Source and handpick reclaimed suitable Welsh Slates
- Extend the overhang of the roof where stone copings had previously sat
- Detail around the existing rooflights
- Strip both sides of the roof felt and battens, replacing with new
- Install insulation and timber spar repairs
- Strip and relead the stone gutter using expansion joints
- Welding new lead outlets to the hoppers
- Lead Welding Chimney Aprons, flashing and soakers
- Rebedding ridges in lime mix
We were requested to repoint the Chimneys in lime mix as future variation works.
