Is slate better than tiles for a roof?

Natural slate is generally more durable (100+ years lifespan) and offers a premium aesthetic, but it costs more than concrete tiles. Concrete tiles are a more affordable option with a lifespan of 30–50 years. The best choice depends on your property style, budget, and personal preference.

Can you work on listed buildings?

Yes, we have experience working on listed buildings and properties in conservation areas. We can source authentic reclaimed materials and use traditional installation methods to maintain the heritage character of your property while meeting modern performance standards.

How much does a slate roof cost?

Natural slate roofing typically costs more than concrete tiles due to the premium material and specialist fitting required. Prices vary based on the type of slate (Welsh, Spanish, etc.), roof size, and complexity. We provide free detailed quotes so you know exactly what to expect.
