DME Slate Roofing Ltd is a roofing contractor based in Stamford, Lincolnshire, specialising in Collyweston stone slating. Its services also include blue slate roofing, roof tiling, leadwork, repairs and replacement guttering. The business is run by Darren and Kelly Ellis and undertakes conservation roofing, complete re-roofing and smaller repair projects.
The company's published team profile includes specialist Collyweston slaters, carpenters, stonemasons and supporting site staff. Its website presents work on existing properties and new buildings, with particular emphasis on traditional roofing and the practical requirements of maintaining older roofs.
Collyweston slating is the company's principal specialism. DME undertakes work ranging from localised repairs to complete re-roofing, with its published examples covering smaller projects, conservation work, church roofing and details around dormers and valleys.
Collyweston is a traditional stone roofing material associated with Stamford, north Northamptonshire and neighbouring areas. Its distinctive appearance contributes to the character of many historic buildings and townscapes. Repairing these roofs requires an understanding of the material and the traditional construction details, rather than treating them as interchangeable with modern tiled roofs.
Owners and professional advisers can contact DME to discuss an existing Collyweston roof, the extent of deterioration and the proposed repair or renewal work. The scope of a commission should establish which materials can be retained and what replacement material is appropriate for the building.
DME also provides blue slate roofing for existing properties and new-build projects. Its published services include complete re-roofing, installation using new or reclaimed slates, and repairs to existing slate coverings.
This provides an additional option for projects involving traditional slate roofs rather than Collyweston stone. The choice between new and reclaimed materials can be discussed in relation to the existing roof, the desired appearance and the project specification.
Roof tiling is included within the service range, with peg tiles featured on the company's website. DME also illustrates replica and alternative coverings, including Bradstone products, for projects where such materials are appropriate.
These alternatives should be distinguished from authentic Collyweston stone slating. For a historic property, the decision to change a roof covering should be considered with the relevant conservation adviser and any required approvals, rather than assuming that a visually similar product is an equivalent conservation repair.
The company offers visits to discuss roof problems and identify possible repairs. Its repair service explicitly covers blue slate, Collyweston slate and leadwork, alongside its wider roofing activities.
This service is relevant to owners seeking advice on an existing defect as well as those considering a larger renewal programme. The investigation and proposed work should be agreed for the individual roof, with particular attention to the condition of surviving materials and the details of the affected area.
Leadwork is also advertised as a separate service. Enquiries can address lead repairs as part of an existing roofing problem or the leadwork requirements of a wider roofing commission.
DME supplies and installs replacement guttering, either within a roofing package or as a separate commission. Its published options include standard plastic guttering and cast-iron detailing.
For historic buildings, the specification should take account of the existing rainwater goods and the appearance of the property. Ask the company to identify the proposed material, profile and extent of replacement when preparing the quotation.
Initial enquiries can include the property address, photographs of the roof, a description of any leaks or visible defects, and information about the existing covering. For conservation projects, include any available survey, specification or advice from the architect or conservation professional.
The company is based in Stamford. Project availability and geographical coverage should be confirmed directly, together with access requirements, the proposed materials and the scope of the quotation.
