There are good reasons why Natural slate has been used for centuries: it's versatile, attractive and, shown respect and handled properly, is one of the most cost-effective roof coverings available because it lasts for generations. We ensure superb results every time, taking the trouble to grade slates by thickness prior to fixing. This leads to a close-fitting, weatherproof, time-proof and aesthetically pleasing roof. It pays to know your material, and we source our slate from the quarries of North Wales and other areas of Britain where we have cultivated close ties with producers.
We are one of the foremost specialised heritage roofing companies in the country and can draw on our wealth of experience working on churches, castles, country estates and public and commercial buildings. Director Michael Curry alone has over 30 years experience and is recognised as a leading authority on slate and stone roofing. We offer a full range of consultancy and expert services. Phillips & Curry Ltd have a wealth of experience in all aspects of masonry. We have a team that is dedicated to producing high quality work which complements our other skilled trades.
Having laid roofs for The National Trust and Cadw and consulted for English Heritage on design, we've built a reputation as one of the country's premier stone roofing contractors. We help quarries ensure quality in the production of traditional hand-dressed stone tiles and are experts at gauging diminishing courses and laying the tiles. We can also supply and lay imported stone tiles for private clients to suit a budget, which are more cost effective but still offer a traditional, dressed-stone tile roof.
It's no wonder lead has been favoured for thousands of years. It's an abundant, naturally occurring metal, 100% recyclable, highly flexible and resilient. Designed and applied correctly, lead roofs last for generations, and just keep looking better with age. No roof covering better complements its historic setting, which is one of the reasons why English Heritage advises that lead should be retained and replaced wherever possible despite the risk of theft, a risk we're handling more effectively now with simple security measures.
