Questions, answered
Is natural slate better than concrete tile?+
Natural slate typically lasts longer (75-100+ years) but costs more upfront; concrete tile is more budget-friendly with a 40-60 year lifespan.
Can individual slipped tiles be repaired without replacing the whole roof?+
Yes — isolated slipped or cracked tiles are usually a straightforward spot repair, not a full re-roof.
Do you work with reclaimed/heritage slate?+
Yes, including for conservation-area properties where matching the existing material is required.
Is natural slate worth the cost?+
For longevity and looks, yes — it's the longest-lasting option. We'll show you the numbers so you can decide.
How long does a slate roof last?+
A well-laid natural slate roof can last well over a century with minimal maintenance.
