If you're lucky enough to live in one of Failsworth's traditional terraces or a period property near the canal, you know that these buildings have a character you just don't find in modern builds.

Whether your property is Grade II listed or just a well-loved family home that needs its original Welsh slate looking after, we've got the tools, the materials, and the decades of experience to do the job right.

Why Standard Roofing Doesn't Cut It for Heritage Homes
Have you ever noticed a slate sliding down a roof, or perhaps spotted one lying on your driveway after a bit of wind? Most homeowners we chat with call it a 'slipped slate,' but in the trade, we often find it's a sign of 'nail sickness.' This is where the original iron nails have finally rusted away after a century of service. Unlike modern roofs, heritage slate requires a delicate touch. You can't just send a general contractor up there with a bucket of mortar and expect a long-term fix. Older buildings need to breathe, and their roofs need to handle the immense weight of natural stone or slate. We often see 'cowboy' repairs where modern concrete tiles have been mixed with slate, which not only looks terrible but can actually cause structural stress to your roof timbers.

Who We Are
Authentic Materials from Welsh Slate to Yorkshire Stone
When we're working on a project in Failsworth or across Oldham, we're obsessive about matching materials. If you’ve got a roof made of Westmorland Green or classic Welsh Slate, that’s exactly what we’ll use for the repair. We often source high-quality reclaimed slates to ensure any new additions blend in perfectly with the weathered look of your existing roof. For those stunning Pennine properties, we’re also experts in Yorkshire Stone roofing. We understand the art of laying 'diminishing courses'—where the slates start large at the bottom and get smaller as they reach the ridge. It’s a traditional technique that looks beautiful and ensures the weight is distributed exactly how the original builders intended.

Traditional Lead Work and Bespoke Fabrication
A slate roof is only as good as its weakest point, which is almost always the lead work around chimneys, valleys, and dormers. While many modern roofers rely on sticky flashings or sealants that crack after a few summers, we stick to the old-school ways. Our team is highly skilled in lead bossing and welding. This means we physically shape the lead to fit the contours of your masonry, creating a watertight seal that can last for 60 years or more. It’s a bit of a lost art, but for a heritage property in the North West, it’s the only way to truly keep the rain out. We take pride in these finishing touches, ensuring your chimney stacks and roof joins are as robust as they are pleasing to the eye.
