Slating and Tiling

Slates and tiles form the primary weather shield of your pitched roof while defining the character of your home. We install and repair clay, concrete, and natural slate tiles with precise alignment and secure fixings.

When You Need Slating and Tiling

Individual tiles sliding down the pitch or missing entirely after a storm. Flaking, crumbling, or spalling clay tiles losing their protective glaze. Nail sickness causing natural slates to slip out of alignment. Mortar failing around ridge tiles and dry verges.

How We Do It

Assess the extent of tile or slate damage and check batten condition. Remove damaged units carefully without disturbing neighboring sound tiles. Replace damaged timber battens and rusted fixing nails where necessary. Nail or clip new slates and tiles securely into position with correct overlaps.

What to Expect

Tile replacements take a few hours, while full re-tiling projects take 3 to 5 days.
