Quick to respond. Thorough when we get there.
A small fault in a slate roof rarely stays small. Water finds its way in, timbers get wet and the cost climbs. We aim to reach you promptly, find the real cause rather than just the obvious symptom, and fix it so it stays fixed.
Every repair is carried out by experienced slaters using matching materials, so the finished job looks as good as it performs, on properties of every size.
- Slipped, cracked & missing slates
- Leaks around chimneys & abutments
- Ridge, hip & valley repairs
- Storm and wind damage

Common problems
The faults we fix every week.
If you've spotted any of these, it's worth getting the roof looked at sooner rather than later.
- 01Slipped or cracked slatesUsually caused by failed nails ('nail sickness') or impact. Left alone, they let water in.
- 02Leaks around chimneysWorn flashings and weathered pointing are among the most common causes of leaks.
- 03Loose ridge tilesRidges take the full force of the wind; failed bedding lets them work loose.
- 04Failing valleysValleys carry a lot of water. Worn linings or debris build-up quickly cause leaks.
- 05Storm & wind damageFrom a few lifted slates to whole sections stripped, made safe and repaired.
- 06Damp patches insideStains on ceilings or in the loft are often the first sign of a roof problem.

FAQ
Questions we're often asked.
Can't see your question? Call us on 01942 316332. We're always happy to talk a roof through.
Can you match my existing slates?
In most cases, yes. We'll identify the type and size of your existing slate and source matching or closely matching material, so repairs blend in.
My roof is leaking right now. What should I do?
Don't go up on the roof. Move valuables and electrics away from the leak, catch the water if you can, and call us on 01942 316332. We'll arrange to get the roof made safe and repaired as quickly as possible.
How do I know if I need a repair or a new roof?
If problems are isolated, a repair is usually right. If slates are slipping all over the roof or the fixings have failed widely, a re-slate may be better value. We'll tell you honestly which applies.
