Slate Roofing

Slate roofs on period properties require specialist knowledge. Natural slate behaves differently to modern tiles — it's fixed differently, weathers differently, and fails differently. Getting it wrong damages both the roof and the character of your property.

We work with Welsh, Spanish, and reclaimed English slate. Each type has different characteristics and fixing requirements. We select the right slate for your property's age, style, and existing roof.

Conservation areas and listed buildings have specific requirements for roofing materials and methods. We understand these regulations and work within them to maintain your property's character while ensuring weatherproof protection.

How long does a slate roof last?

Natural Welsh slate can last 100+ years. Spanish slate typically lasts 60-80 years. Lifespan depends on quality, installation, and maintenance.

Is slate more expensive than tiles?

Initial cost is higher, but slate lasts 2-3 times longer than concrete tiles. Over the roof's lifetime, slate is often the more economical choice.
