The old covering was stripped and replaced with natural slate, new leadwork, and gutters that actually fall the right way.
New lead at the chimney, where the old roof had been leaking.
Ridge and gutters were replaced with the covering, not left behind.
Slates had slipped, the ridge was soft, and there was staining in the ceiling below a chimney. Patching would have meant coming back every winter.
We scaffolded, stripped the covering, replaced the timbers that were soft, and laid a new slate roof with lead at the chimney and the valleys. Rainwater goods were renewed so the water leaves the building.
What changed
The quote listed what we could see and what we would only know once the slates were off. The extra timber was priced before it was fitted.
Key features

Sample quote. The ceiling stain has stayed dry through the wet months.
