What slate roofing in Oswaldtwistle actually involves
Our typical Oswaldtwistle scope
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.
What's included
- Breathable underlay and treated batten
- Welsh, Spanish or reclaimed natural slate
- Copper or stainless steel nail fixings
- Lead valleys and step flashings
- Strip with care to salvage usable slates
