Natural Slate failure modes we see in Oxshott

  • Imitation slates (fibre-cement) on past repairs can mismatch in colour
  • Lead valleys age faster than the slates themselves
  • Hairline-cracked slates from past foot traffic

Our approach: We re-use sound slates wherever possible, source matched Welsh or Spanish slate for replacements, and copper-nail rather than steel for longevity.
