How this job usually looks for landlords

On slate roofing jobs for landlords, the priorities are usually predictable — and different from a walk-in domestic call. Here's what we plan around on a Clitheroe tenanted terraces job.

  • Same-week attendance to avoid escalating tenant complaints
  • Documented make-safe so the property meets basic habitability
  • Itemised VAT invoices addressed to the landlord or letting agent
  • Photographs before and after every visit for the tenancy file
  • Options that protect the roof for the next 5–10 year hold

The slate roofing work itself

Slate is the right answer for almost every period property in Lancashire — and most failures are nail failures, not slate failures. We strip carefully, salvage every reusable slate, fit new copper or stainless nails to a counter-batten and breathable underlay, and re-cover with matched natural slate. Where conservation requires it, we source reclaimed slate to match.

Strip with care to salvage usable slates
Breathable underlay and treated batten
Welsh, Spanish or reclaimed natural slate
Copper or stainless steel nail fixings
Lead valleys and step flashings
