Natural Slate Roofing for New Builds

We install natural slate roofing on new build properties across Cornwall. Whether you are building a contemporary home that references the local vernacular or a traditional Cornish cottage, we can source and install the right slate for your project.

Our team has extensive experience working with a wide range of natural slate products, including Cornish Delabole slate, Welsh slate, and Spanish slate.

Delabole Slate – Cornwall's Own Stone

Delabole in North Cornwall is home to the oldest working slate quarry in England. Delabole slate has been used on Cornish buildings for centuries and remains the most authentic choice for new builds in the county.

We work closely with the Delabole Slate Company to source high-quality slate for our projects. Using Delabole slate ensures your new build has an authentic Cornish character that will last for generations.

Heritage and Conservation Slate Roofing

For new builds in conservation areas or on sites with planning conditions requiring specific materials, we have the expertise to ensure compliance. We work with planning officers and architects to specify the correct slate type, size, and fixing method.

We also carry out reclaimed slate matching for extensions and renovations, sourcing reclaimed Delabole or Welsh slate to complement existing roofs.
