Throughout Scotland, there exists a plethora of ancient and historic buildings, including castles and stately homes, whose roofs date back to the very origins of the structures themselves.
These old slate roofs were crafted in a bygone era when roofing techniques vastly differed from modern methods. Everything from the size of the slates to the nails used for fastening, as well as the intricate lead detailing around chimneys and ornate spiral sections, and even decorative slate patterns, reflects the craftsmanship of yesteryears.
When it comes to maintaining and repairing these historic roofs, it’s essential to enlist the expertise of not just any Glasgow roofer, but a specialist in historic building restoration. This is where Balmore Specialist Contracts comes in.
With over 40 years of experience, we have earned a reputation for providing high-quality roofing services, specializing in the restoration and repair of older buildings. Our expertise encompasses everything from maintaining sandstone features, crucial for original chimneys and decorative stonework, to repairing lead work and intricate metal decorative elements prevalent in older properties.
While castles may evoke images of grandeur and fantasy, the reality is that many historic castles in Scotland still require specialist roofing care. At Balmore, we employ a scientifically led approach, leveraging cutting-edge technology to preserve the past. We utilise aerial drones equipped with thermal imaging to conduct comprehensive scans and inspections of castle and historic building roofs. This enables us to detect any hidden issues before they escalate into significant repair expenses. Furthermore, with our Rope Access Team, we can access even the most challenging-to-reach areas, such as the soaring spires of flamboyant castles and church towers, without the need for cumbersome scaffolding.
