Natural Slate
Natural slate is the defining cover on most Victorian and Edwardian stock locally. Done properly, it outlasts every other pitched-roof material we install.
Lifespan
80–120 years (Welsh) / 60–100 years (Spanish, Brazilian)
Cost / m²
£75–£140 supplied and laid (Welsh sits at the top of that band)
Category
pitched
Best for
Period properties, conservation areas, and any roof where the original covering was slate.
Where it fails
- Nail-sickness — original iron nails corrode and slates slip in pairs
- Hairline-cracked slates from past foot traffic
- Lead valleys age faster than the slates themselves
- Imitation slates (fibre-cement) on past repairs can mismatch in colour
Our repair approach
We re-use sound slates wherever possible, source matched Welsh or Spanish slate for replacements, and copper-nail rather than steel for longevity.
