West Country Tiling

We have significant experience of working with the following roof coverings: Cotswold stone slates, Collyweston stone slates, Hamstone slates, Purbeck stone slates, clay and concrete plain tiles, Welsh slate, Spanish slate, Delabole slate, Westmorland slate, Burlington slate, man-made slates, Cedar and Oak shingles, Clay Pantiles, Clay Double Roman tiles and Lead. All of our master craftsmen have served a formal apprenticeship in roof slating and tiling. Once this three year training has been completed, they continue their on-site development working under an experienced master craftsman for several years. During this period they will attend two residential leadworking courses run by the Lead Sheet Association to develop these skills. We prefer our master craftsmen to take ownership of the roof that they are working on and that can only be achieved if they have carried out all of the work — carpentry, roofing and leadwork. This also avoids any overlap of different trades work which can often cause potential weak areas on the roof.
