The Challenge
Large-scale residential developments require more than just roofing expertise; they require flawless logistics and timing. Working on a multi-unit site like Blacksole Farm means coordinating with other trades, adhering to strict health and safety protocols, and maintaining a consistent, high-quality finish across every single plot without exception.

Our Approach
We deployed a dedicated site team to manage the 7-month build cycle. The choice of Thrutone Textured Slates provided the aesthetic of natural slate with the lightweight, uniform performance required for modern timber-frame and masonry builds.
· Consistency: Every ridge, hip, and valley was executed to the same exacting standard across all 16 units.
· Reliability: We hit every “watertight” milestone on the developer’s master schedule, ensuring internal trades could stay on track.
