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
