our recent new build slated roofs we have just completed just outside Edinburgh using Spanish slate , we fit all lead work , valleys , water gates and zinc ridge all hand fitted by us. On these new build properties we were using Spanish Siga 400×250 slate every slate graded and double nailed using copper slate nails to the specified gauge after some weathering the slate darken nicely to a dark blue colour . We can supply all types of siga slate from their commercial range to the more desirable excellence range with varying warranties of up to 75 years.

We can also supply and fit Welsh Slate on this property above we replaced the original Welsh Slate to the roof and dormers with a similar slightly wider cwt y bugail Welsh Slate to replicate the traditional look but using a new welsh Slate. We also replaced all the damaged timber work , replaced all the lead work and removed the copes re fitting all using lime mortar with a new skew detail and lead cover flashings dressed under the copes all tied into the slating that keeps the wall head dry as the roof gets wet ,whilst maintaining the traditional stone coping.

We also fit scotch slate which a commonly used in Edinburgh where the existing scotch are carefully removed then dressed reholed and sized ready for reuse to be restated in diminishing courses .

We can supply all types of Slate like Welsh , Spanish slate and higher end slate such as westmoorland and Burlington. No matter the type of slate required to suit your property.

We can replace your scotch roof using original scotch slate or new Welsh slate in random widths and diminishing courses to match the original scotch look but the slate come with a 100 year guarantee unlike second hand slate which may be near the end of their usable lifespan.
We have had these slate passed by building control for use in replacement roofs to listed buildings in fife and Edinburgh.

We also supply and fit a range of gutters , ridges and cappings in zinc clay and concrete to compliment your new slate . We fit lead and zinc valleys and water gates all correctly hand fitted to your roof.

Generally we recommend the use of Proctor roofshield as an underlay as it requires no additional ventilation in any circumstances eliminating the chance of interstitial condensation in the roofspace .
Which is essential if the roofspace has or is planning an attic conversion or is is lived in .
