Natural Welsh and Westmorland slate is common on Runfold's older housing stock and can last 100 years or more with correct maintenance. We repair, re-nail and re-slate period properties across Runfold, sourcing matching natural slate where required.
Runfold's 1970s–1990s housing includes natural slate roofing on The Street and surrounding streets where Victorian and Edwardian properties are concentrated. These roofs often have decades of life remaining with targeted repairs.
1970s to 1990s detached and semi-detached in a suburban village setting between Farnham and Seale. Concrete interlocking tile throughout. Many properties have had single-storey extensions.
Concrete interlocking tile nail sickness on 1970s–80s stock. UPVC fascia cracking. Flat roof failures on extension additions. Mortar failure on exposed ridge sections.

Runfold's position on the greensand ridge south-east of Farnham gives properties here more weather exposure than sheltered valley locations. The sandy substrate also means foundation movement is slightly more prevalent than on clay or chalk — a subtle contributor to ridge mortar cracking that we see on some older Runfold properties. Exposed south-west facing elevations need more frequent ridge inspection than sheltered properties.

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 Runfold'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 Runfold's pre-1950 slate properties. Re-nailing extends the roof's life 40–60 years without full replacement.
