West Morland roof slate

West Morland roof slate sometimes known as Cumbria’s slate, as the name suggest originated in Cumbria. It is probably the Rolls Royce of roof slate in terms of appearance and quality.

Considered as a fairly exclusive roofing material and would have been used on very prestigious homes and property.

It is most commonly used in the form of random widths (all slates vary slightly in width) and also diminishing courses.

 All of the slates have a defined range of heights, the tallest being fitted to the base of the roof and smallest fitted to the peak of the roof.

They are sold by the metric tonne with approx 16sq meters coverage each tonne.

At Wilson’s Yard we pride ourselves in supplying only top quality reclaimed / salvaged west Morland green slate to our customers.

We were privileged to be able to purchase all the salvaged reclaimed West Morland slate from the royal Victoria hospital in Belfast when it was modernised.

 We currently supply clients throughout Ireland and the UK and also ship to projects as far afield as New Zealand  our client base would include not only private self builders and construction companies but also the National trust.
