Roofing
First worked by the Romans, and then further exploited by the Normans, the roofing slates that Burlington Stone quarry in Cumbria and the Lake District have been worked in earnest from the early 1600s and are prized for their exceptional technical and aesthetic qualities. Clients and their architects, who value the principles of permanence and longevity, have made very good use of these finest of British natural slates over the generations in order to create beautiful and long lasting buildings.
