Tenement Turret Re-Slate
Full re-slate of a granite tenement turret — new slates over fresh membrane, lead-capped hips and tidy flashings, all worked from a proper scaffold.
Real jobs from real Aberdeen roofs — slate and tile repairs, chimney repointing, flat roofs, fascias and guttering. Tap any photo to take a closer look.
Granite tenements, semis and bungalows across the city and shire — if you've spotted our scaffold on your street, this is what's happening up top.
Full re-slate of a granite tenement turret — new slates over fresh membrane, lead-capped hips and tidy flashings, all worked from a proper scaffold.
Aberdeen's granite stacks take a battering from the weather. We rake out failed joints, repoint, and finish the chimney head with fresh flaunching around the pots.
Old coverings stripped back to the boards, new decking where it's needed, then torch-on felt dressed in for a watertight finish that lasts.
