Slate is often called the "King of Roofing," but it is also one of the most misunderstood materials. Unlike standard concrete tiles, slate requires a specific set of skills to repair without causing further damage to the surrounding roof.
At Roofing Pro, we don't just "patch" slate roofs. Based in Altrincham, we understand the architectural heritage of Cheshire.
We know that a poorly executed repair using the wrong materials can ruin the aesthetic of a period property and lead to "nail sickness" or structural leaks. We combine traditional techniques with modern diagnostic technology to ensure your slate roof remains watertight and beautiful.
Real people. Real workmanship. Real results.
Using our signature HD Drone Surveys, we identify the exact cause of your slate roof issues without the need for heavy foot traffic on your delicate roof.
Slipped or Missing Slates: Often caused by "nail sickness" (the corroding of original iron nails), slipped slates leave your underfelt vulnerable to the elements.
Delaminating Slate: Over time, lower-quality slate can "flake" or thin, losing its water-shedding capabilities.
Failed Lead Valleys: Slate roofs rely heavily on leadwork at the joints. We specialize in lead flashing repairs that integrate seamlessly with your slate tiles.
Broken "Tingle" Repairs: If you see unsightly lead strips (tingles) holding slates in place, it’s a sign your roof needs a professional, permanent fix.
In most cases, we can perform targeted repairs. If your slate is generally in good condition but a few nails have failed, we can replace individual slates. However, if "nail sickness" is widespread across the entire roof, James will give you an honest assessment of whether a full re-roof is more cost-effective in the long run.
Yes. We are experts at color-matching. Whether your roof is original Victorian slate or a modern installation, we source slates from the same quarries or use reclaimed materials to ensure a seamless blend with your existing roofline.
Because slate requires more care and specialized tools than tile, the cost can be slightly higher. A standard repair for a few slipped slates typically starts from £200 - £350. We provide a detailed, fixed-price quote after our drone survey so there are no surprises.
The most common cause is the failure of the nails holding them in place. In many older Cheshire homes, iron nails were used which eventually rust away. When the nail "beheads," the slate slides down. We replace these using non-corrosive copper or stainless steel fixings.
