Slate & Flat Roofing

Slate and flat roofs are built very differently, so each is assessed 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

What we do

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

Every roof is different, so we quote after looking at yours. The main things that shape the price are:

  • 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

Quotations are free and there is no obligation.

Questions

Common questions

Is my slate roof worth repairing?

Many slate roofs can be repaired by replacing individual slates. We will tell you what we find.

Do you work on flat roofs for extensions and garages?

Yes — extensions, garages and garden rooms.

Why does water sit on my flat roof?

Flat roofs are built with a slight fall, so some ponding after rain can be normal. Standing water that does not clear is worth having looked at.

How do I know if my flat roof needs repaired or replaced?

It depends on the condition of the whole covering. We will assess it and explain the options.

Can a single slipped slate cause a leak?

Yes. Even one missing or slipped slate can let water in, so it is worth dealing with early.
