Email: Andrew1Hooper@btinternet.com Slate roofs we have renewed and repaired over the last 30 years providing a high
level of roofing service to our customers. Slate roofs are one of the best forms of roof construction/protection and offer
one of the longest life spans of all roof constuction, we renew and repair all types of slate roofs to the highest standard
using the best natural slates on the market. Slates we use are Spanish Welsh and Chinese. Most victorian homes
will have welsh slates from original and the roof structures would have been designed to only carry the load of slates and
not heavy concrete interlocking tiles. Sadly many homes in the 70s,80s & 90s were re-roofed in concrete tiles which
over time have caused the roofs to sage under the heavy load which can often be seen with the apearence of the tiles above
deviding walls appearing to rise when actually the centre of the roof is dropping. Additional timber purlins and props
can be added to help reduce this movement but often the best long term choice is to strip the roof off all the heavy concrete
tiles and renew in slates which the roofs were designed for.
To the right is a slate roof renewed in Walthamstow East London, the roof battens, nails
and flashings were weathered but the roof slates were in good order but slipping out due to the nails decaying. The
roof was stripped and all good quality slates set aside approx 70% the roof was then felt and battened with breathable
felt, Tanalised battens and Galvanised nails. We then fitted a new Lead Valley to the rear addition and re-slated the roof
with all salvaged slates and new salvaged slates to match existing roof slates, new Lead soakers were installed to all wall
abutments, once all slates were fixed using Copper nails the Lead stepped flashings were cut to size and fixed to all wall
abutments and then pointed with a 4-1 pointing mix of sand and cement, finally the ridges were rebeded with a 3-1 mix of sand
and cement
On the Left is a new Slate roof renewed in Enfield Middlesex London. salvaged second
hand slates were used along with the existing slates salvaged. 2" X 1" Tanalised battens were fixed on Tyvec
breathable felt fixed with Galvanised nails. All soakers to wall abutments were in code 3 Lead and all stepped flashings
into brickwork were in code 4 Lead, roof slates were all fixed with copper nails
Above is one of the many Slate roofs that we have renewed, The slates used on re-roofing the above property
are 20" x 10" chinnese slates fixed withe Copper nails on 2 x 1" tanalised battens and breathable felt.
The roof on the right is in Crouch end, London and was renewed using salvaged roof slates,
all slates were carefully stripped with all good quality slates set to one side. The roof was felt and battened with
Breathable felt and Tanalised bettens fixed with Galvanised nails. Code 3 lead soakers were fitted to all wall abutments as
the roof was re-slated, code 4 Lead stepped flashings were fitted into parapit wall abutments and pointed with sand/cement

Above is a slate roof on a 3 storey property in Hampstead, London. All the existing slates and battens
where stripped, new tanalised roofing battens and breathable felt fixed to roof rafters. Spannish roof slates where fixed
with copper roofing nails, also all new Lead roof flashings to parapit walls and chimney stacks.

On the left is a new slate roof renewed in Hampstead london, All slates and battens were
removed and cleared from site, the slate were not re-usable due to back in the 80s a cheap repair of coating the roof with
a fine mesh and bitchumen was carred out making the slates not reusable so on this roof we used Spanish 20" x 10"slates.
All roof slopes were felt and battened in Tanalised 50mm x 25mm battens and breathable felt, new spanish slates were fitted
with Copper nails and code 3 soakers to parapit wall abutments. Code 4 stepped Lead flashings were fixed to walls and
new clay hip and ridge tiles beded with sand/cement 3/1
