Built detail by detail.
Slate roofs are made up of many details, not just the visible slate covering. This Central London project shows the relationship between Welsh slates, leadwork and the ridge finish.

London Roof Replacement Part 7: Welsh Slates Done by N.H.R.B.S.
A Central London roof replacement project featuring Welsh slates, lead gullies, step flashing and a lime mortar ridge.
The project description identifies Welsh slates together with lead gullies, step flashing and a lime mortar ridge. These components help manage water at the places where roof planes meet walls, valleys and the ridge.
For a period or listed property, the choice of slate and the way the leadwork is detailed can matter as much as the overall appearance. An inspection helps establish what can be retained and what needs replacing.
