Old type Large Blue Bangor Slates

JCB1 · 2014-01-12 15:12:33

I'm doing a renovation of a cottage thats about 150 years old. The roof has the large (approx 3ft x 2ft) blue bangor slates. I need about 20 slates to get the roof repaired. Any ideas on where I could source them? Reproductions would work if there is such a thing. I'm based in Galway but will travel. Thanks

I've found a guy in Mayo today but they are very expensive at €10 each, hoping there is a cheaper option

Doesn't sound bad, considering the size of them!

As a matter of interest how much did you expect to pay for these when you took the job on?
