Slate roof
There is a wide range of slate roof tiles to choose from. Slate roof tiles are durable and long lasting. They work well with traditional settings and designs. If you are purchasing an old home with an original slate roof, you may want to have a professional roofer check the state of repair in case any tiles are missing or damaged. You should always choose a professional, experienced roof builder for your slate roof repairs and builds.
A roofer who makes mistakes in the installation can cause costly problems over time. Our roof specialists understand how important it is to distribute the tiles correctly and accurately, to check the tile before installing to ensure it is fully intact and to match the tiles correctly in any repair work

There is a wide range of colours and styles to choose from and of course a wide range of properties to consider. Our experts can help you to decide what will work best for your building project. It is important to get this right at the planning stage and you may want to see and feel several samples before your make your final decision
