Every roofing service we offer

What's under your slates

A slate roof is built in layers, from the rafters up. Here's what each one does.

A slate roof is built in layers, from the rafters up. Here's what each one does.

  1. Rafters

    The timbers that carry the whole roof. Everything else is laid on them.

  2. Breathable membrane

    Goes over the rafters and drapes into the gutter: a second line against wind-driven rain.

  3. Battens

    Fixed across the rafters at the slate gauge. Every slate is nailed to one.

  4. Slate courses

    Laid from the eaves up, each course covering the nails of the one below. Re-roofing and new roofs

  5. Stepped lead flashing

    Where the roof meets a chimney, lead is stepped into the brick joints so water can't get behind it. Leadwork

  6. The ridge

    Caps the top of the roof, where the two slopes meet.

  7. Fascia, soffit and gutter

    At the eaves they carry the water off the roof and away from the walls. Fascias, soffits and guttering

  8. Every layer has a job

    When a roof leaks, one of them has failed. Finding which one is ours.
