Slate & Tile Roofing in Manchester & Stockport

Slate and clay or concrete tiles offer timeless beauty and exceptional durability for pitched roofs. Our skilled craftsmen handle everything from traditional Welsh slate installations to standard tile replacements.

When You Need Slate & Tile Roofing

Slates or tiles are sliding out of place or falling onto your driveway. Individual slates are flaking, turning chalky, or showing signs of delamination. Your roof is sagging due to the heavy weight of aging slate on old timber battens. You live in a period property requiring traditional Welsh slate or heritage matching.

How We Do It

We assess the condition of your existing slates, tiles, and fixing nails or hooks. We source high-grade natural slate or matching tiles that fit your property's architectural style. We fix each slate or tile securely using quality nails or clips over breathable underlay and treated battens. We finish ridges, valleys, and verges with clean mortar or dry-fix systems for ultimate weather protection.

What to Expect

Repairs take a few hours, while full slate or tile re-roofing projects typically take 4 to 8 days.
