Slate roof repairs
A slate roof usually fails at its fixings long before the slate itself wears out. The nails holding each slate corrode over the decades, which is known as nail sickness, and the slates start to slip. Storms loosen others, and a slate cracked by someone walking on the roof lets water straight through.
Signs to look for are slates on the ground or in the gutter, gaps or slipped slates on the roof, and staining on the ceilings upstairs. We replace broken and slipped slates with ones that match the size, colour and texture of the roof, fix them back securely, and check the underlay and battens underneath before we finish.
Repairing or replacing a slate roof
Replacing individual slates is common and good value, and most slate roofs only need it now and then. When the nails are failing right across the roof, or a large number of slates have gone, more extensive work is needed, and sometimes a new roof is the better answer. Our post on the benefits of slate roofing covers why slate is worth keeping, and how long it lasts is in our guide to roof lifespans.
We are committed to clear communication, dependable service, and results that stand the test of time. When you work with us, you choose a team that values your property as much as you do.
