THE CONSERVATION FILE · LISTED & CONSERVATION-AREA WORK
SLATE MATCHED BY QUARRY, NOT BY COLOUR CARD.
A heritage roof fails politely — a slipped slate each winter, a damp patch that dries by spring — and then all at once. When the time comes, the job is matching, not replacing: the right slate from the right quarry, laid the way the roof was laid the first time.
Kilnbrook has worked on listed buildings and in conservation areas across Shrewsbury and Church Stretton since 2009. Welsh slate is matched by quarry and riven face, clay tile is sourced reclaimed, lead is dressed to LSA guidance — and the survey you hand the conservation officer is written to answer their letter line by line.
