Slate roofing is one of the more traditional styles of roofing currently in use, and is considered to be the most skillful of the roofing crafts. Its popularity as a roofing material is due to its extremely low water absorption index and ability to withstand low temperatures.
This is not the only feature that brands slate such a popular and traditional roofing material. Slate roofing is also very visually appealing, and each roof has its own particular look, style and feel. This unique nature is reflected in our roofing service. We treat each project as individual and we carefully select the slates used so that we don’t go against the original look and feel of the roof, maintaining its heritage for years to come.
Our slating services include Green Westmorland slating, Welsh slating, Spanish slating, strip & recover work, and heritage & conservation work.
We can undertake all tiling work regardless of if it is on domestic or commercial properties, whether it is repairs or replacements to a completely new roof. We can help with it all! Our team are highly experienced and professional meaning our customers get the best roofing work possible no matter where in the North East you are.
We supply and fix roof tiles from various manufacturers including Decra, Forticrete, Marley Eternit, Russell, Redland and Wienerberger.
Lead is one of the most sustainable building materials on the market, and its durability and long-lasting nature are what also makes it one of the best value-for-money roofing solutions as well.
We have invested heavily in training in recent years to ensure that key members of our skilled workforce can provide high quality metal roofing and cladding to our clients across the North East.
We have provided a complete range of leadwork services for heritage sites such as Durham and Newcastle Cathedrals, and also for major house builders, architects and individual owners.
Flat roofs are a great roofing solution because they last such a long time if they are installed at a high standard – they tend to be very durable and are good at weathering the elements for a number of years.
At Wensley Roofing we offer a range of flat roofing services to help you with any enquiry. From emergency roof repair works, storm damage repairs, general wear & tear repairs, roof maintenance and complete roof renewals.
At Wensley Roofing, we install PV systems as part of our comprehensive roofing services for new homes. This way, instead of bringing in a separate contractor, we can manage the entire installation process for the homeowner. Resulting in a complete package solution for our customers.
