At Frampton Roofing, we take pride in restoring and upgrading roofs to the highest standards. Our latest project saw us re-roofing the Margate Mosque, ensuring durability, weather resistance, and a beautifully finished look that will stand the test of time.
The Project: A Full Roof Transformation
This job involved stripping back the old, worn-out roofing materials to give the mosque a fresh start. Our process included:
✅ Removing Existing Slates & Battens – The old roof had reached the end of its lifespan, so we carefully removed the existing slates and battens, preparing the structure for a complete refresh.
✅ Installing New Breathable Felt & Battens – A strong, weatherproof foundation is key to a long-lasting roof. We laid high-quality breathable felt, ensuring proper ventilation and protection against moisture. New battens were then installed for a solid framework.
✅ Fitting New 10x20 Spanish Natural Slates – To complete the transformation, we used premium Spanish natural slates, known for their strength, longevity, and classic aesthetic. These high-quality slates provide superior protection against the elements while enhancing the character of the mosque’s architecture.
Preserving Tradition with Modern Craftsmanship
Roofing a historic and culturally significant building like the Margate Mosque requires skill, attention to detail, and the right materials to ensure both longevity and aesthetic appeal. At Frampton Roofing, we understand the importance of maintaining the integrity of such buildings while upgrading their protection against the elements. By using 10x20 Spanish natural slates, we ensured a timeless finish that complements the traditional architecture while providing a durable, low-maintenance solution for years to come.


Why Slate? The Perfect Choice for Longevity
Natural slate is an excellent roofing material, offering:
🛡️ Durability – With a lifespan of over 100 years, Spanish natural slates ensure long-term performance.
🌧️ Weather Resistance – They stand up to rain, wind, and harsh weather conditions with ease.
🌍 Eco-Friendly – As a natural material, slate is one of the most sustainable roofing options.
✨
Aesthetic Appeal – The smooth, dark finish of the new slates enhances the traditional style of the mosque.
Another Job Well Done!
The result? A stunning, durable, and fully weatherproof roof that not only protects the building but also enhances its visual appeal. With our expert craftsmanship and top-quality materials, the Margate Mosque’s new roof is built to last for decades.
