Reusing slate starts with an assessment
On a natural slate roof, some pieces may remain serviceable while others are damaged or unsuitable to refix. A photograph of the finished surface cannot establish how much can be reused. We discuss the visible condition at survey and how any decision after lifting will be recorded.
If keeping existing slate matters to you, ask the quotation to distinguish reuse, replacement material and the handling of unexpected shortfalls. A realistic proposal explains the approach without promising that all the slate will survive removal or that reclaimed replacements will match perfectly.

Where a chimney rises through the roof, the surrounding weathering detail deserves its own assessment. Tell us about staining near chimney breasts or previous lead repairs. Water can travel before it appears indoors, so the location of a ceiling mark is useful information rather than a diagnosis.
A complete roof proposal should make clear which chimney and leadwork items are included. The covering may be new while the masonry needs separate attention. Discussing the two together helps avoid leaving an unresolved detail immediately above the new roof.
