Slate roofs can last generations, but the nails holding them often fail first. We refix slipped slates, replace broken ones and re-slate where needed.

Where the original slates are sound we can often reuse them, keeping the character of the property.

Signs you may need this

  • Slates slipping down the roof
  • Slates lying in the garden or gutter
  • Visible tingles (metal clips) on many slates

Slate Roofing: common questions

What is nail sickness?

It's when the original nails corrode and slates start slipping. Odd slipped slates can be refixed; widespread nail sickness usually means re-slating.

How much will it cost?

It depends on the size and access of the roof, the materials and how much damage there is. We give a free, fixed written estimate before any work starts — and we'll beat or match a like-for-like written quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes. All our work is covered by our workmanship guarantee, and we'll explain exactly what's covered in your written quote.
