Craft that stands the test of time

A slate or tile roof is one of the defining features of a home — and when it's laid well, it protects that home for generations. Poor detailing at ridges, valleys and chimneys is usually where problems start, not the tiles themselves.

We handle the full range of pitched-roof work: new slate and tile coverings, patch and full re-tiling, ridge and hip re-bedding, repointing, lead flashing and valley work — matching materials carefully on period and conservation-area properties.

Slate & tile roofing FAQs

How long does a tiled or slate roof last? +
A well-laid concrete or clay tile roof typically lasts 40–60 years, and natural slate can last 80–100 years or more. Ridge and flashing details usually need attention sooner, which is where maintenance and repointing come in.
Slate vs concrete or clay tile — which is best? +
Natural slate is elegant and extremely long-lived, and is often required in conservation areas. Clay tiles offer traditional character; concrete tiles are hard-wearing and cost-effective. We advise based on your property, its setting and your budget.
What is lead flashing and when does it need replacing? +
Lead flashing seals the joins where a roof meets walls, chimneys and valleys. Over time it can crack, slip or corrode, causing leaks. We replace and dress lead work correctly so those vulnerable junctions stay watertight.
Do you work on heritage and conservation-area roofs? +
Yes. We carry out traditional slate and tile work sympathetically, including in conservation areas such as Chislehurst and Sevenoaks, matching materials and detailing appropriately.
Can you repoint ridge and hip tiles? +
Yes. We re-bed and repoint loose or cracked ridge and hip tiles, and can fit dry-ridge systems for a longer-lasting, maintenance-free finish.
