Starting with the roof structure
The first photo shows the roof once the old covering has been stripped back. New timber rafters have been fitted across the roof, with the old insulation and boarding still visible beneath. Scaffolding is in place around the eaves, so the team can work safely at the edge of the roof and move materials up. A new roof only lasts if the timbers under the covering are sound, which is why the structure is checked and put right before any slate goes on.
A finished slate roof
The second photo shows a slate roof laid, with a lead-flashed rooflight and clay ridge tiles along the top. Slate is a natural roofing material that suits South Wales houses, and it gives a neat, even finish. Lead flashing around the rooflight is what keeps the opening watertight.
Thinking about a new roof? Every roof is different, so we look at the property first and give a free quotation. Call 07766 547309 or send photos on WhatsApp.
