Roofing Slates Welsh Slate is a metamorphosed sedimentary rock of the Ordovician and Cambrian geological series being 500 million years old. The quarries of Snowdonia produce two main colours of slate - Heather Blue and Blue grey. CONSERVATION / RENOVATION

This traditional Welsh cottage, believed to date back to the thirteenth
century has been re-slated with extra heavy blue grey slates to retain its original character and small random sized “peggies” maintain the original feature of this period round house.

Alms houses date back to the 17th century roofed with heather blue slates.  

A site visit can be arranged for clients involved with the renovation of Registered Listed Buildings and building works in conservation conscious areas, to ensure suitable slate match. Samples can be provided to the relevant organisation/body for approval.
