Slate & Tiled Roofs
Slate & Tiled Roofs in St Albans & Hertfordshire
Slate and tile are the traditional roof coverings of Hertfordshire homes, and both last for decades when they are laid and looked after properly. We install, repair and maintain natural slate, clay tile and concrete tile roofs across St Albans and Hertfordshire.
Broken slates are removed and replaced using approved methods such as the slate hook or nail-and-bib technique, so each repair blends in with the rest of the roof. We also have experience working on listed buildings, where repairs need to respect the character of the property.

- New natural slate roofs
- New clay and concrete tiled roofs
- Broken slate and tile replacement
- Slate hook and nail-and-bib repairs

FAQs
Slate & Tiled Roofs FAQs
Can’t see your question? Call us on 07739 794 889.
How long does a slate roof last?
Natural slate can last between 75 and 150 years with proper care, which is why it is such a popular choice for period homes.
Can you replace just a few broken slates?
Yes. We replace individual slates using slate hooks or the nail-and-bib method so the repair matches the existing roof.
Should I choose clay or concrete tiles?
Clay tiles have a traditional look and long lifespan; concrete tiles are often more cost-effective. We will talk you through the options for your home.
Do you work on listed buildings?
Yes. We have experience with listed and period properties and use materials that suit the building.
How often should a tiled roof be inspected?
Having it checked every few years, and after severe storms, helps catch slipped tiles and failing mortar early.
Do you offer free quotes for slate and tile work?
Yes. Every quote is free and comes with no obligation.
