A pitched covering that fits the roof
Match visible repairs
We seek suitable slates or tiles to keep repaired areas visually consistent.
Check why it moved
We inspect fixings and neighbouring units before simply replacing the covering.
Respect roof loading
We consider structure and material weight when advising on a new covering.
Keep pitched roofs covered and consistent
Slate and tile roofing sheds rain through overlapping rows, but one slipped or cracked unit can interrupt that protection. We install, replace and repair pitched coverings, including loose, missing and damaged pieces. During repair work, we look at the fixing and surrounding details to understand why the unit moved or failed. We use materials intended to match the existing roof where practical, helping the finished section sit consistently rather than looking like a random patch. Sound covering above means less chance of water reaching the layers below.
Choose a covering the structure can support
Slate provides a clean, natural-looking finish, while roof tiles come in a broad choice of profiles, colours and surfaces. Appearance matters, but it isn't the only consideration. We account for pitch, roof structure, exposure, covering weight and the style of the property before advising on a material. For repairs, we check nearby units and fixings so a replacement isn't fitted into an unstable section. For a wider installation, we set out the selected covering and detail its edges, ridges and junctions to maintain effective rain shedding.
Frequently asked questions
Can replacement tiles match an older roof?
We use repair materials intended to match the existing profile, colour and finish where practical. Exact matches can depend on age and availability, so we explain the closest suitable option before fitting it into the repaired section.
Why do slates or tiles keep slipping?
Failed nails, clips or battens may be allowing movement, or nearby units may be damaged. Wind exposure can add strain. We inspect the fixing point and surrounding covering so the repair addresses more than the fallen piece.
Can any roof carry slate covering?
Not automatically. Slate weight, roof pitch and supporting structure all matter. We assess these factors alongside exposure and appearance before advising on a covering. The selected system must suit the roof rather than appearance alone.
