Heritage Slate Roof Restoration Specialists
When it comes to restoring heritage buildings, specialist knowledge and attention to detail are essential. Mr Shingles has a 60+ year business legacy and Damian Hand has owned and led the business since 1991. With experience across complex restoration projects involving churches, civic buildings, historic homes and other architecturally significant properties, you’re in good hands.
We provide specialist slate roof restoration in Sydney and across NSW, working with natural slate and timber shingle roofs on suitable heritage and restoration projects.
Our team works with property owners, architects, builders and heritage consultants to determine the appropriate approach for each roof. Depending on the existing materials and project requirements, this may include retaining suitable original slate, matching replacement slate, re-slating and reinstating traditional roof detailing.
Contact us with your roof details, plans or project requirements to discuss your restoration project.
Slate Roof Restoration Services
Our slate roof restoration service is suited to heritage and period properties where retaining the character of the existing roof is an important part of the project. We work with property owners, architects and builders to assess existing slate or timber shingles, identify suitable replacement materials and determine the appropriate restoration approach.
Suitable projects may include:
- Full or staged restoration of an ageing natural slate roof
- Re-slating heritage and period buildings
- Matching existing Welsh Penrhyn, Spanish or Canadian slate
- Restoration of timber shingle or timber shake roofs
- Reinstatement of traditional ridges, valleys, flashings and roof detailing
- Re-roofing where the original roof has reached the end of its usable life
- Select remedial work on heritage roofs following an assessment
