Because each roofing slate is unique, the natural variation allows for
different characteristics of slate to be exploited for specific uses.
For example, experienced slaters will identify and order slate according to thickness, natural curvature, surface texture and appearance. This
allows the strongest slates to be laid at the areas of the roof that experience
most stress.
Slate Roof Refurbishment
A refurbishment is an overhaul of an existing slate roof. Our
specialized roofers produce a free roof survey that provides detail and
photographs about any slate roof problems and any roofing repairs required.
Refurbishment may focus on part of the roof due to local defects or the
entire roof - necessary once the entire slate covering has reached the end of
its useful life. Partial refurbishment/repair includes:
Evidence of potential roof problems show as extensive slipped, broken,
missing and dislodged slates, eaves in poor order, multiple minor repairs and
tarred slates.
If existing slates are at the end of their useful life then a full roof
refurbishment may be required. Rubery Roofing provides quotes based on the most
appropriate roof repair solution for the roof structure, age and character of
the building, and we propose a solution based on roofing materials and costs that best suit your roof budget.
Full Slate Re-roof Repair
If water ingress into the roof has caused rot in the structural timbers
then a timber inspection is required to check their integrity.
A full roof repair might be required if significant roof structural timbers are unsound.
Full renewal of the structure may then be necessary and existing roof slates may or may not be able to be reused, depending on their condition. Reclaimed slates that we have salvaged from other jobs make up for slates lost during roofing renovation.
