Slate & Flat Roofing in the Highlands & Islands
Slate and flat roofs are built very differently, so each is assessed on its own terms. RWS Roofing is based in Buckie and covers the Highlands & Islands and nearby areas including Aviemore, Dingwall, Tain.

Slate & Flat Roofing for the Highlands & Islands homes
Traditional slate, corrugated sheeting on older crofts, modern tiles and flat roofs on extensions are all common, and we assess each one on its own terms. We replace broken or slipped slates and carry out localised slate repairs, and we build and repair flat roofs on extensions, garages and garden rooms.
Traditional slate, corrugated sheeting on older crofts, modern tiles and flat roofs on extensions are all common, and we assess each one on its own terms.
What we cover
- Slate roofs: replacing broken or slipped slates and localised repairs
- Flat roofs: extensions, garages and garden rooms
Signs to look out for
- Slipped or broken slates
- Ponding water sitting on a flat roof
- Cracks, blisters or splits in a flat roof covering
- Damp in an extension, garage or garden room
- Slate debris in gutters after windy weather
How we work
Slate roofs are usually repaired slate by slate, replacing what has slipped or broken. Flat roofs are assessed on the condition of the whole covering — sometimes a repair is enough, sometimes the covering has reached the end of its life. We explain which applies to yours and why.
What affects the cost
- How many slates need replaced, or the size of the flat roof
- The condition of what is underneath
- The covering material chosen for a flat roof
- Access to the area
