Re-roof completed using Elterdale Slates
At Cumbria Roofing, we take pride in delivering high-quality workmanship that not only protects homes but also enhances their appearance and value. Recently, our team completed a full roofing project in Egremont, using premium Elterdale natural slates — a traditional Cumbrian material known for its durability and timeless finish.
The Property – Before Works Began
The existing roof had reached the end of its serviceable life, showing signs of weathering, slipped slates, and general deterioration. While still structurally sound in parts, it was no longer providing the level of protection expected in the Cumbrian climate.
The Work Carried Out
Our team carefully stripped back the existing roof coverings and assessed the roof structure underneath. Once prepared, we installed a full re-roof using Elterdale Slates, sourced locally and chosen for their excellent performance in harsh weather conditions.
Key elements of the project included:
- Full strip and disposal of old roofing materials
- Inspection and preparation of roof timbers
- Installation of breathable membrane and battens
- Re-slating using high-quality Elterdale natural slates
- New leadwork and finishing details where required
Elterdale slates are a fantastic choice for properties in Cumbria, offering both authenticity and long-lasting protection against the elements.
The Finished Roof – After Completion
The transformation is clear. The new slate roof not only restores full weather protection but also significantly improves the overall appearance of the property, blending seamlessly with the surrounding area.
The Result
This Egremont project is a great example of how a high-quality re-roof can completely revitalise a property. The use of Elterdale Slates ensures the roof is built to last while maintaining a traditional Cumbrian aesthetic.
