Our approach: We re-use sound slates wherever possible, source matched Welsh or Spanish slate for replacements, and copper-nail rather than steel for longevity.

What Hounslow West customers ask about natural slate
Do you fit natural slate roofs in Hounslow West?
Yes — we cover natural slate installation, repair and matching in TW5. Natural slate is less dominant locally than concrete tile, but we fit and repair it regularly.
How long does a natural slate roof last in Hounslow West?
Service life is 80–120 years (Welsh) / 60–100 years (Spanish, Brazilian). Hounslow West's exposure is moderate, so most roofs reach the upper end of that range when properly detailed.
What does natural slate roofing cost in TW5?
Indicative supply-and-fit pricing: £75–£140 supplied and laid (Welsh sits at the top of that band). Smaller localised repairs typically land in the £350–£1,400 range. Final price always depends on size, access and deck condition — we quote after a free on-site survey.
Can you match existing natural slate on a Hounslow West repair?
Yes — we source matching profiles for repairs where the rest of the roof has life left in it. For older 1930s semis and post-war estates stock we'll often salvage and re-use sound units to keep the colour and weathering consistent.

All in. Scaffold, skip or tipper, permits and full clean-down are included in the written quote. You see one price, not a stack of add-ons.
