Our Services
Installation
A full slate roof installation is a great option for homeowners constructing a new property or adding an extension. The process includes everything from the structural timbers and battens through to ridges and flashing. Accuracy and skilled workmanship are crucial to get it right from the outset, avoiding future problems and ensuring the roof performs reliably for many years.
Replacement
For older properties with ageing or displaced tiles, a complete slate roof removal and replacement is often the best option. We can source slate that closely matches your existing roof, helping to retain the original character and appearance of your home. All work is carried out in line with UK roofing regulations and includes insurance-backed guarantees, providing lasting confidence and protection.
Repairs
Roof tiles can become loose, damaged, or dislodged over time, and even minor gaps can allow bigger issues to develop. Arranging an early inspection is key, so roofers can pinpoint the problem and fix it before it worsens.
Benefits
Lifespan
A well-fitted slate roof can last at least 75 years, and with proper care, many will continue performing for 150 years or even longer.
Maintenance
Aside from the occasional slipped or damaged tile, slate roofing requires minimal upkeep while delivering strong long-term value.
Weatherproof
Slate roofs are extremely durable, coping with heavy rainfall, high winds, and frost far better than many alternative roofing systems.
