Slate roof servicing
Servicing that stops problems before they start.
Regular, professional servicing keeps a slate roof weather-tight, extends its life and saves you from the bigger bills that come with a neglected roof.
- Early detection of faults
- Minor repairs done on the day
- Honest, plain-English advice
Planned roof careExpert maintenance
A little maintenance now. A lot less expense later.
Most major roof repairs start as something small: one slipped slate, a cracked ridge, a blocked gutter. Our servicing visits catch those issues early, while they're still quick and inexpensive to put right.
We inspect the roof, carry out the minor work it needs and talk you through anything that will need attention later, so there are no surprises down the line.
- Slates, ridges and fixings checked
- Valleys, flashings and chimneys inspected
- Gutters and outlets cleared
- Clear advice on anything that needs doing

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.
How often should a slate roof be serviced?
For most homes, a check every year or two is sensible, plus a look after any major storm. Older roofs, or roofs surrounded by trees, can benefit from more regular attention.
Is servicing worth it on a newer roof?
Yes. Even a well-built roof has gutters that block and flashings that weather. Light-touch servicing keeps a good roof good.
Do you need scaffolding to service a roof?
Not usually. Most servicing can be done safely with roof ladders and access equipment. If something needs a larger repair, we'll explain the access options first.
