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
4/1
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

Everything you need to know about VELUX CABRIO
Guide: Roof Windows
VELUX CABRIO balcony windows are a little confusing as they're both a window and a balcony. Since they are both, do you need planning permission? These types of statement pieces are increasingly seen on penthouse apartments and now in loft conversions and self-builds too. You'd be surprised that the prices aren't that lofty though! We've put together this guide to tell you everything you need to know about VELUX CABRIO balconies and answer any questions you might have.
Table of contents:
- What is VELUX CABRIO?
- Where can you install VELUX CABRIO?
- Do you need planning permission for VELUX CABRIO?
- What are the benefits of VELUX CABRIO?
- What finishes are available for VELUX CABRIO?
- What sizes do VELUX CABRIO balconies come in?
What is VELUX CABRIO?
VELUX CABRIO is a roof window that transforms into a balcony. Two sections of this roof window perform different functions so that when the window is opened it turns into a balcony space that an adult can stand in without crouching or watching their head. A top hung window opens the top half of the window, swinging open 90 degrees before locking in that position. The bottom window pushes open to produce side railings and a glazed balcony, as in the image to the right.
Each VELUX CABRIO offers a beautiful, chic and modern balcony space when open and it's quite the statement piece. When
the window is closed the two large glass panes offer plenty of daylight to your space and it will no doubt become a talking
point. When you purchase a VELUX CABRIO, you purchase the entire system, including flashings and support trimmers.
Where can you install VELUX CABRIO?
The most common roof pitch in the UK is 45 degrees, and other roof pitches tend to only vary a small bit. With this in mind, VELUX manufactured the VELUX CABRIO to be suited to roof pitches from 35 degrees to 53 degrees. VELUX CABRIO is suited to tile and slate roofs too, in a combination of sizes and internal colour finishes.
Do you need planning permission for VELUX CABRIO?
Under Permitted Development rules you're not allowed to build any kind of balcony, veranda or terrace without planning permission. It's unfortunate as the lines could be blurred between whether VELUX CABRIO is a window or a balcony system but it's probably not worth the gamble, especially if the balcony is to look over someone else's property.
There are other elements of your project that may require planning permission and as such it's important to disclose the presence of VELUX CABRIO as the Planning Officer will want to know the location and height of windows. If you need planning permission for a loft conversion and your development is not Permitted Development then you need full permission for the window too.
What are the benefits of VELUX CABRIO?
VELUX CABRIO is put together with toughened glazing on the outer pane and the inner pane to ensure that safety is a high priority. You get the stunning design and daylight with no compromise on safety. The other benefits of VELUX CABRIO include:
- Brings more outside space and light into the building.
- Adds value to a property.
- Easy-to-clean glazing.
- Top-hung windows can open to 180 degrees for easier cleaning and further-reaching views.
- Other top-hung or fixed windows can be added to create a larger or customised glazed space.
What finishes are available for VELUX CABRIO?
VELUX CABRIO balcony systems are manufactured from high-quality and sustainable natural pine at their core. When you decide to purchase one you get to choose between a natural pine appearance on the inside of the window or a white-painted interior. This gives total freedom over how you incorporate the window into the room and whether it's a focal point or cleverly blended into the background.
VELUX CABRIO balconies come with the flashings required to weatherproof the area around which they're installed. These flashings have to be different for slate and for tile so you'll need to pick which of these you need. Once this decision is made you can choose between a single, double, or triple appearance window like the image below.
What sizes do VELUX CABRIO balconies come in?
There are 2 widths available for each set-up of VELUX CABRIO. Single, double and triple variations each offer two widths compatible with tile or slate. Each VELUX CABRIO is 252cm in height. The option of widths that VELUX gives you is to ensure that their balcony systems will fit into more roof space without compromising on style or design.
