In addition to new slates, LBS also buy and sell a comprehensive range of second hand slates, tiles and ridge tiles.
These include salvaged Welsh ‘Bangor Blue’ slates, Welsh ‘Porthmadog’ slates, Killaloe green Irish slates and Westmorland green slates
We also offer second hand rosemary clay roof tiles and Staffordshire blue ridge tiles
Salvaged Slate can be a good option for 'matching' in or replacing existing roof structures but we would generally not recommend them on a new roof
There tends to be a higher wastage factor, and even the best quality Welsh slates have a finite lifespan and will start to deteriorate after a hundred years or so
If you are considering reclaimed slates for your project, have a chat with one of our technical sales team and they will go through the options
Another option for our customers to consider if they are looking for a ‘reclaimed’ look is the LBS range of Snowdon XLs in reclaimed heather and reclaimed green
