Slate Roofing around Norwood
The survey item, dated February 1994, says: "A simple and attractive Mid-Victorian bluestone cottage with hipped slate roof and concave verandah." It is a description of one house at survey time. It does not say that any particular house is a heritage place today or has a slate roof now.
An item like this tells you slate was used on bluestone cottages of the period, not what a given roof is today. Ask the council whether the property is a heritage place, and ask the provider what the quote assumes about the existing slates.
