Slate Roofing Questions & Answers

Expert insight into slate selection, installation, and maintenance.

Welsh slate from the Penrhyn and Llechwedd quarries is virtually non-porous (less than 0.2% water absorption), has uniform grey-blue colouring, and develops an attractive weathered patina over decades. Its technical performance — splitting cleanly to consistent thickness — produces a neat, durable roof. Price reflects scarcity and demand from heritage projects worldwide.
High-quality Spanish slate (from Valdeorras region) and Canadian slate (from Quebec) offer excellent technical performance at lower cost. We specify slate with less than 0.4% absorption and good freeze-thaw resistance for London conditions. Colour consistency varies between sources — we show sample slabs before specification.
Fibre cement slate (such as Cembrit or CB12) offers consistent dimensions, broad colour range, lighter weight (allowing reduced rafter sizing), and significantly lower cost than natural slate. Modern formulations are asbestos-free. These are particularly suited to residential extensions, garages, and outbuildings where budget is constrained but aesthetic matters.
We calculate wind uplift forces for each site using BS 5534 methodology, considering London's terrain category and altitude. Fixing specifications include nail size and spacing, clip usage for verge courses, and where necessary, bonding of slate courses with lead wedges. Our installations comfortably exceed current wind load requirements.
We maintain a library of salvaged slates from demolition projects and work with specialist reclamation suppliers. For Spanish or Canadian slate roofs, we usually source replacement from the original quarries. For very old or discontinued slate, we obtain visually compatible material and pre-age it with moss treatment if needed.
Annual inspection of flashings, valleys, and ridge fixings is recommended. Moss accumulation on north-facing slopes should be cleared to prevent water retention. We provide maintenancecontracts including clearing, repointing any loose verges, and replacing individual cracked slates before leaks develop.
