Nail sickness on original Welsh slate along Hale Road. Lead flashing failure at bay tops and chimney stacks. Conservation area restrictions on material specification. Ridge mortar failure on Victorian stock.
Hale occupies the area immediately west of Farnham town centre. Victorian terraces on Hale Road face typical challenges of their age — nail-sick slate fixings, deteriorated lead flashings and open ridge pointing.

Hale Road contains some of the finest surviving Victorian slate and clay tile roofing in Farnham. Many properties retain original Welsh slate in structurally sound condition — it's the nail fixings that have corroded over 120 years, not the slates themselves. Re-nailing rather than full replacement is almost always the right answer here, and preserving original material is both the correct and most cost-effective approach.

If less than 20% of slates are damaged and the rest are sound, repair or re-nailing is almost always better value than full replacement. We'll give you an honest assessment at the survey stage.
Yes in most cases. We source from suppliers carrying Welsh Blue, Welsh Grey and Westmorland Green slates common on Hale's period housing. For small repairs we find a close match.
Nail sickness is corrosion of original iron nail fixings causing slates to slip. It's common on Hale's pre-1950 slate properties. Re-nailing extends the roof's life 40–60 years without full replacement.
