Natural Welsh and Westmorland slate is common on Upper Hale's older housing stock and can last 100 years or more with correct maintenance. We repair, re-nail and re-slate period properties across Upper Hale, sourcing matching natural slate where required.
Upper Hale's 1920s–1940s housing includes natural slate roofing on Upper Hale Road and surrounding streets where Victorian and Edwardian properties are concentrated. These roofs often have decades of life remaining with targeted repairs.
Largely 1920s to 1940s detached and semi-detached on elevated ground north of the town. Mix of clay tile and early concrete tile. Many properties have had extensions with flat roofing.
Ridge tile displacement after winter storms. Flat roof failures on 1970s–1980s extension additions. Concrete tile erosion on oldest 1930s installations. Fascia delamination on unmodernised stock.
Upper Hale occupies higher ground north of Farnham town centre. Exposed position means more wind loading on ridge tiles and hip mortar than valley properties.
Some of the earliest concrete roof tiles in the UK are on Upper Hale properties — installed in the 1930s when the material was new. These are now at extreme end of life.

Upper Hale's elevated position north of Farnham combines wind exposure with some of the oldest concrete tile stock in the area. Properties built in the 1930s with the earliest concrete tile installations are now approaching 90 years old — well beyond the design life of the material. Many Upper Hale properties are in whole-roof-replacement territory regardless of other presenting issues.

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