New Slate Roof Installation in Waverton, Cheshire by Browns Lead Roofing

Browns Lead Roofing recently completed the installation of a brand new slate roof on a residential property in Waverton, delivering a high-quality, long-lasting roofing solution finished to the highest standard. The project involved a complete roof replacement, providing the homeowner with a durable and visually striking roof designed to perform for decades to come.

All existing materials were carefully removed before installing entirely new natural roof slates, expertly laid to ensure correct alignment, weather resistance, and a clean, traditional appearance. Slate is a premium roofing material known for its strength, longevity, and timeless aesthetic, making it an ideal choice for properties in Cheshire.



In addition to the new slates, the project included the fabrication and installation of bespoke lead flashing, lead valleys, and lead cappings. Each lead component was hand-crafted and welded by Craig Brown, ensuring precise detailing and exceptional durability. Specialist lead welding was used to create seamless joints that provide superior protection against water ingress while allowing for natural movement in the lead.

The newly installed lead valleys were carefully formed to manage high volumes of rainwater, while the custom lead flashing and cappings were dressed neatly into place to protect roof junctions, parapet edges, and exposed areas. This combination of skilled craftsmanship and high-quality materials ensures the roof not only performs flawlessly but also enhances the overall appearance of the property.
