A Stunning Slate Roof Transformation with Decorative Detailing
Location
Rutherglen, Glasgow
Type of Work
Slating Project
Project Overview
This full re-roof project on Burnside Road, Rutherglen allowed us to showcase both craftsmanship and attention to detail. The homeowner wanted a high-quality, durable roof that also enhanced the property’s character. To achieve this, we incorporated bespoke decorative slating, including fish scale toppers and diamond patterns—small touches that make a big visual impact.
Using premium materials and a meticulous installation process, we delivered a beautifully finished roof built to last, fully backed by a 15-year guarantee through CP Roofing Solutions.
The Challenge
The property required a complete roofing upgrade, including new slates, structural detailing, and modernised finishes to dormers, fascia, and soffits. The client also requested decorative slate features to enhance curb appeal, which required precision and skilled craftsmanship.
Key challenges included:
Integrating decorative slate patterns seamlessly
Updating dormer cladding while keeping the look cohesive
Ensuring all finishes aligned with the homeowner’s vision
Applying a durable liquid plastic system to the extension roof
Despite these complexities, the project was completed to the highest standard, on time and with clear communication throughout.
