Exbury House is an English Country house situated on the Edge of the New Forest National Park in Hampshire. As a Grade II listed, 18th century building, the new natural slate roof had to be as per the original, Westmoreland Green Random slates from Burlington Slate in Cumbria. Westmorland Slates offer unrivalled quality due to their unique geological formation. It is unlike any other roofing slate in the world meaning it lasts for many hundreds of years. Here at European Slate we are proud to have been involved in this amazing historic building’s restoration. The main contractor Richardson Nyewood Ltd and the roofing Contractor, Roofbond Systems Ltd from Horndean, provided a professional approach from start to finish putting new life back into the roof for another few hundred years or more.  

At European Slate we are constantly monitoring our customers and ever changing industry needs. Due to strong relationships nurtured over decades with the quarries in Spain, we are delighted to announce that we have secured an exclusive supply of ESCO 100 EXTRA PLUS, a slate usually destined for the German Market.  It is well known that the Germans demand a superior Spanish slate to the norm and are happy to pay a premium for this material.   Having had superb feedback from our customers who have tried our ESCO 100 EXTRA Plus and with on average a 20% cost saving against Canadian slate, what’s not to like?
