What slate roofing in Read actually involves

Our typical Read 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

  • Welsh, Spanish or reclaimed natural slate
  • Breathable underlay and treated batten
  • Copper or stainless steel nail fixings
  • Matched ridge and verge detailing
  • Lead valleys and step flashings
