Lovely project completed within Damhead, Edinburgh.

14x8 Spanish slates covered this brand new extension.
Aluminium guttering and verges installed to give it a sharp and classy finish.
There is also a flat roof (can just see the end of it at the top left) that was covered with icopal Monarplan single ply membrane.
Annoyed that I somehow don't have any pictures of it completed.

Another behind the scenes. This time it's the work that goes into a Scotch slate roof.
As these slates are no longer in production every pallet we get is second hand.
Each individual slate has to be straightened along the bottom and sides then sized into each of their own individual sizes.
To put this job into context, there are over 2000 slates here with the same already on site!
The slating part is not straight forward either. Every size of slate has a different gauge lap so starts larger at the bottom and smaller at the top (last picture)
Such a beautiful slate to work with but I wish they came pre dressed and sized 😂.

Job completed in Corstorphine, Edinburgh

This green mineral roof needed urgent repairs done last year. We then received a phone call to give it an upgrade.
Roof was completely stripped back to existing ply then covered in our protective fleece. We then went over the top using icopal Monarplan single ply membrane. Walls were boxed out in ply so we could give it a lovely clean finish. Also by doing this it stops any potential leaks comping through failed pointing in the future.

Job completed at Corstorphine, Edinburgh.

A strip and re-slate in Spanish on the back slopes of this property.
The chimney was removed bellow roof level and slated over and it makes the roof look so much neater.
The two top windows installed along with a sun tunnel that we previously worked on.
A couple of flush slate vents put in to get rid of the pipes and to keep it neat.

Also a big thanks to for dropping us the skip and taking it away in the same day.

Job completed at Morningside, Edinburgh

Icopal Monarplan single ply membrane covering 100mm insulation.
Electric skylight, velux dome and a couple of pipes thrown in as well.
Also as there was no guttering we had to weld a standing seem to divert the water into the gulley at the bottom.
