Killoran Slate Technical
Natural slate
roofs are often complicated so our Technical expertise is vitally
important. We must understand the attributes of each type of slate.
Roof shapes differ also. Cones, Hexagons, Curves, Close-mitres,
Swept valleys, Unequal pitches, Coursing in, Parapet gutters, change
of pitch, Sprocketing etc arise sooner or later.
Frequently asked questions such as Batten dimensions, Recommended
nails, Ventilation, Insulation, Vent extracts, Soil stacks, Lead
codes, Roof windows, Stain removal, replacing slates and Types of
felt or membrane crop up on a daily basis.
Technical knowledge
and experience faces the ACID test when confronted with the restoration
of slate roofs on LISTED buildings such as Castles, Churches, Courthouses
and other Public Buildings.
Our Staff will
identify the existing slate, and supply slates either New or Second-hand
with ridges to match.
They will also
advise on the construction to provide for increased Insulation while
avoiding harmful condensation - all in compliance with current Building
Regulations.
Our Companies
are unique providers of this service in Ireland.
