Type of Work
Slate Roof
Project Overview
This impressive domestic property on Grange Road, Bearsden features a large, traditional slate roof with multiple roof elevations and a prominent conical turret. Due to the scale and architectural detail of the building, the roofing works required an experienced slate specialist capable of delivering both technical accuracy and a high-quality finish.
CP Roofing Solutions were appointed to carry out slate roofing works to restore and protect the roof while preserving the character and appearance of the property. Particular attention was required to ensure the turret roof blended seamlessly with the surrounding slate areas.
The Challenge
Properties of this style present unique challenges due to their size, layout and architectural features.
Key considerations on this project included:
A large, multi-faceted slate roof with several intersecting roof planes
A conical turret roof, requiring specialist slating techniques
Ensuring consistent slate alignment across flat and curved surfaces
Working at height on a substantial residential property
Maintaining a clean, traditional finish appropriate for the property’s setting
Turret roofs are especially demanding, as slates must be carefully sized, positioned and fixed to follow the curvature of the structure while remaining fully weatherproof. Any inaccuracies can quickly affect both performance and appearance.

Full Slate Roofing Works
High-quality slate roofing works were carried out across the main roof areas of the property. This included careful preparation and installation to ensure a consistent finish, long-term durability and effective protection against the elements.
Turret Slate Roofing
Specialist slate roofing works were completed to the conical turret roof. Due to the curved structure, slates were individually positioned and fixed using traditional techniques to achieve a smooth, uniform finish while maintaining full weather resistance.
Roof Detailing & Junctions
Detailed slate work was carried out at roof junctions, ridges and transitions to ensure a clean appearance and long-lasting watertight performance. Particular care was taken where roof sections meet to maintain consistency across all elevations.
Chimney & Roofline Integration
Slate work was carefully integrated around chimney stacks and roofline features to ensure proper sealing and visual continuity. This helps prevent water ingress while preserving the character of the property.
Fixings & Weatherproofing
Appropriate slate fixings were used throughout the project to provide long-term resistance to wind uplift and weather exposure. All roofing areas were checked for secure installation and performance.
Final Inspection & Quality Checks
Upon completion, the roof was fully inspected to ensure all slate work was secure, aligned correctly and finished to a high standard. The completed roof now provides long-term protection and a visually consistent finish across the entire property.
