Structure, ventilation and longevity
Beneath the slate, we check battens, underlay and roof timbers, and consider ventilation so the replacement roof performs well long after the visible work is finished.

Heritage and conservation roofing in Kingston upon Thames
Heritage slate roofing in Kingston upon Thames, London
Lian Construction carries out heritage slate roofing work across London's conservation areas and period properties, matching natural slate detailing to the character of the building. Much of this work is on Victorian and Edwardian terraces, mansion blocks and detached villas, where the original covering, verge detailing and lead work need reinstating rather than swapping for a modern standard specification. We survey the roof first, agree a specification with the homeowner and the conservation officer where relevant, then carry out the work using natural slate, traditional fixings and matching flashing details.
