Traditional Scottish slate and suitable replacement systems
Restorex services · Edinburgh & Scotland
Roofing & Slating services
Complete roof renewal, repair and maintenance using traditional Scottish slate and modern high-performance systems where appropriate.
Common problems
Understanding the building before choosing the repair
Slipped or broken slates, failing fixings, defective ridges and ageing roof coverings expose traditional buildings to water ingress. Roof defects frequently interact with chimney, leadwork and masonry problems, so isolated repairs may not address the complete cause.
How Restorex approaches the work
Restorex delivers inspections, local repairs, planned maintenance and complete strip-and-reslate projects. Existing slates are assessed for reuse where appropriate, replacements are selected to suit the roof, and vulnerable junctions are coordinated with leadwork, chimneys, valleys and rooflights. Programming considers weather protection and the needs of occupants below.
Typical scope
- Strip and reslate projects
- Roof inspections and planned maintenance
