Slate restoration is a specialised service that breathes new life into weathered, damaged, or aging slate surfaces.

As slate is a natural stone known for its durability and unique aesthetic appeal, proper restoration not only preserves its appearance but also extends its lifespan. BuildCor offers expert slate roof restoration services that are designed to bring your slate surfaces back to their original splendour.

What is Slate Restoration?

Slate restoration involves a series of professional treatments aimed at revitalising slate surfaces that have deteriorated or become discoloured over time. The process includes thorough cleaning, repairing any damage, and applying protective finishes to ensure the slate not only looks good but also stands up to future wear and tear. Restoration is essential for removing stains, fixing cracks, and restoring the natural sheen of slate, which can be compromised by factors such as heavy foot traffic, weather conditions, and improper maintenance.

BuildCor’s Slate Restoration Process

BuildCor’s slate restoration process is designed to address every aspect of slate care, ensuring a comprehensive and effective treatment. Here’s a breakdown of how we approach restoration:

•  Assessment and Inspection – The first step in our restoration process is a detailed assessment and inspection of the slate surface. Our experts carefully examine the slate to identify any issues, such as cracks, chips, stains, or general wear. This thorough inspection helps us determine the specific needs of your slate and plan the most appropriate restoration techniques.

•  Cleaning and Preparation – Once the assessment is complete, we move on to cleaning and preparing the slate. This involves deep cleaning to remove dirt, grime, and old sealers that may have built up over time. We use specialised cleaning solutions and equipment to ensure that the slate is thoroughly cleaned without causing any damage. Proper preparation is crucial for effective restoration, as it ensures that the surface is ready for the repair and finishing stages.

•  Repair and Restoration – With the slate cleaned and prepared, we proceed with the repair and restoration phase. This involves addressing any physical damage, such as cracks or chips, using high-quality repair materials. Our team carefully fills and smooths these areas to restore the slate to a uniform surface. Additionally, we re-grout as needed to reinforce the joints and ensure the slate is stable and secure.

•  Final Touches and Maintenance – The final step in our restoration process is applying finishing touches to enhance the appearance and protect the slate. We apply a high-quality sealant that not only revitalises the slate’s natural shine but also provides a protective layer against future damage. Our team will also provide you with maintenance tips to help you keep your slate looking its best, including recommendations for regular cleaning and care.
