The star of the show is clearly the curved tower which is slated using Brazilian grey-greens and 3 bands of diamond cut, Spanish slates with a lead detailed finial to the spire. Each slate had to be carefully cut and a solid fixing was paramount.

Cutting the Brazilian slates was a real challenge especially towards the top of the tower where the cuts diminished in width to meet the curve. All credit goes to our roofer, Dan Spearman who delivered outstanding workmanship not only for his slating but also for the leadwork. He worked diligently through all weather conditions to deliver an incredible finished product, to the highest of standards.

This project won the 2023 National Pitched Roofing Award for best use of Slate in a commercial project.
