Slate to Tile Roof Replacement in Ebbw Vale
The original slate on this Ebbw Vale property had nothing left to give. Slates had slipped out of course, the edges were delaminating, and earlier patch repairs had been lapped in across the whole slope. We stripped it back, rebuilt the roof deck with fresh membrane and battens, and finished it in grey interlocking tiles.

Why This Slate Roof Needed Replacing, Not Patching
You can see the state of it in the before photo. Once slate reaches that stage the damage is not in one spot you can chase down, it is spread across every course, and patching it is money spent twice because the next spell of weather simply finds the next weak slate. The honest answer here was a full replacement.
So the whole slope came off. We checked over the timbers, then rebuilt with breathable membrane, new treated battens and grey interlocking tiles that shed water faster and need far less looking after than worn slate. Fresh lead flashing was dressed in where the roof meets the neighbouring property, and the ridge was bedded and pointed to finish. If you are weighing up the same job, our strip and re-tile and new roofs and roof replacement pages explain how it works, and we cover lead flashing alongside every re-roof.
