Russell Cambrian Reconstituted Slate Roof
This was a Russell Cambrian 'reconstituted slate' roof with six velux windows
installed. The lower, shallower pitch was a add on extension to the existing
building. We first had to break into the existing building at eave level to install
the timber joists for the new roof, which also ment re-aligning the existing valley
into a dog leg shape to accommodate the new pitch going through the rear outtrigger
roof. We then installed four new Velux windows to the existing pitch and two to the
new extension before felting, battening and tiling the new roof and installing the
lead apron at the intersections of the new and existing roof pitches.
