Cottage Slate-to-Tile Roof Replacement with Black Rosemary Duo Tiles

A complete residential re-roofing project replacing an aging slate roof with premium black Rosemary Duo tiles to preserve traditional cottage charm.

Elite Roofing completed a full roof replacement on this charming cottage property in Formby. To maintain the building’s authentic architectural style while enhancing weather resistance and structural longevity, the original slate roof was replaced with sleek, durable black Rosemary Duo tiles.

Our team stripped the old roofing materials down to the timber rafters, installed fresh breathable underlayment and high-grade battens, and precisely laid the new tile system. The result is a durable, low-maintenance roof that seamlessly complements the home’s dark window trim and white exterior finish.

Material: Black Rosemary Duo clay tiles, high-performance roof underlayment membrane, treated timber battens, and lead flashing.

Project Scope: Full slate tear-off, rafter inspection, breathable membrane installation, batten fitting, precision tile laying, and ridge capping.

Color Palette: Charcoal black, off-white render, dark timber trim, and natural red brick.
