Slate roofing FAQs
Slate Roofing Questions and Answers
These answers explain common questions before you request a quote.
Can you see a roofing problem?● Send us a photo
Can one slipped slate be replaced?+
Often, yes, when the surrounding slates, fixings and supporting layers remain sound.
Why do slates keep slipping?+
Nail fatigue, broken slate, poor previous fixing or deteriorated battens can cause repeated movement.
Can old natural slates be reused?+
Sound slates may sometimes be salvaged and reused, but their condition, size and quantity must be checked.
Will a new slate match the old roof?+
A close match may be possible, but natural variation and weathering mean a replacement can look different at first.
