A Craftsman's Tale: The Altham Oak Porch Roofs Project in Sabden

Project brief

The primary goal of this project was to suitable slate roofing for the constructed oak porch roofs using reclaimed slate, ensuring the structures were not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly. The project required a seamless blend of traditional craftsmanship with modern durability, aligning with the client’s vision for bespoke and sustainable outdoor structures.

What we delivered…

We have recently completed two Oakporch roofs in reclaimed slate for Altham Oak – Bespoke Structures in Sabden. The customers very happy with these. For all your roofing work give us a call for a free quotation. And for anything oak building give Altham Oak – Bespoke Structures a message or phone call .

Just wrapped up a proper satisfying job over in Sabden, working alongside the folks at Altham Oak – Bespoke Structures, they’re the go-tos for anything oak structure-wise. This time around, it was all about putting together a couple of oak porch roofs, but with a bit of a twist – we went with reclaimed slate for the finish. And let me tell you, the result was something special.

Now, working with reclaimed materials isn’t always a walk in the park. There’s a bit more to think about – making sure everything’s up to scratch quality-wise, matching up the old with the new (well, new to this project anyway). But that’s the kind of challenge that gets a tradesman like me out of bed in the morning. Plus, using reclaimed slate’s not just good for the look of the thing. It’s a nod to keeping things sustainable, giving these materials another lease on life rather than them ending up forgotten somewhere. That’s something we’re pretty proud to be a part of.

These oak porches weren’t just any old job for us. They were about bringing together the old and the new in a way that looks dead right and will stand the test of time. Altham Oak knows their stuff when it comes to oak structures, and it was great to team up with them on this. They handle the oak, we took care of the roofs, and together we’ve got a couple of porches that the customers are chuffed with. That’s always the best part of the job – seeing the look on folks’ faces when they see the finished product for the first time.

For anyone thinking about adding a bit of character to their place with an oak structure, or if your roof’s seen better days and you’re considering giving it a bit of a facelift with some top-notch reclaimed materials, this project’s a prime example of what can be achieved. Whether it’s the durability of the slate or the natural beauty of the oak, choosing materials that tell a story can really make a space come alive.

If you’re in the market for some roofing work yourself, don’t hesitate to give us a shout. We’re always up for a chat about how we can help bring your project to life, free quotation and all. And if it’s something oak-related you’re after, you’ll want to get in touch with Altham Oak – Bespoke Structures. Just like we did with these porches, they’ll sort you right out.

So, there you have it – a bit of insight into one of our latest projects. It’s jobs like these that remind us why we love what we do. It’s all about blending skill with creativity, sustainability with functionality, and seeing it all come together in the end. Here’s to many more projects like this one.

had to say about our work.
Sam and his team have professionally carried the work on our stone roof. They changed the timbers, rebuilt the chimney and put the stone tiles back on. They are nice and straight now, they’ve put a lot of work into making them look really good. They cared for every detail and made sure the joining side with the neighbours is also done well and secure. Highly recommend! Already asked them to do the steps in the garden as well!
