Slate Roofs
Slate roofing that keeps its clean lines
Slate is one of the longest-lasting roof coverings there is, but it relies on sound fixings. The classic problem is nail fatigue, where the slates are fine but the nails holding them have rusted through, so slates start to slip one by one.
We repair individual slates, re-fix slipped ones and re-slate whole roofs in natural or fibre-cement slate. On a full job we renew the membrane, battens and fixings so the roof is sound from the deck up, then finish it with new ridges and leadwork. A new slate roof carries our 15 to 20 year guarantee, and terms and conditions apply.
