Turning Stone Roofs.
Turning Stone Roofs.
Traditional Roofs.
A distinctive part of our work involves the restoration and “turning” of traditional stone roofs. This time-honoured technique involves carefully removing existing stone slates, flipping them to expose the less-weathered underside, and re-laying them to extend the roof’s life while maintaining its authentic look.
This specialized craft requires extensive knowledge of traditional building methods and deep respect for heritage construction techniques passed down through generations.
Process.
The stone turning process begins with a thorough assessment of each slate’s condition. Our skilled craftsmen systematically remove stones, cataloguing their position and condition before carefully cleaning and inspecting both sides.
The weathered top surface, which has borne years of exposure to the elements, is then turned to become the protected underside, while the previously sheltered surface becomes the new weather face. This meticulous process can effectively double the lifespan of a stone roof.
