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
• We generally would not recommend them on a new roof

• Tends to be a higher wastage factor
• 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 our technical sales team to discuss your options

• Another option for  to consider for a ‘reclaimed’ look is the LBS range of Snowdon XLs in Reclaimed Heather and Reclaimed Green
