Specialists in Bangor & Welsh Slate
The Gold Standard of Roofing
Natural slate is the premium choice for homeowners who value longevity and aesthetics. Unlike concrete tiles which fade and erode, slate maintains its beauty for generations.
Ageless Beauty
Slate never fades. It develops a rich patina over time and adds significant market value and curb appeal to your property.
Lifetime Investment
A correctly installed slate roof will last 80-100 years or more. It is truly a 'once in a lifetime' investment.
Superior Protection
Natural stone is completely non-porous, fireproof, and withstands the harshest Atlantic storms without cracking.
Blue Bangor
The world's finest slate. Distinctive blue-black colour. The historic choice for Dublin.
Welsh Penrhyn
Heather blue/grey. Exceptionally durable and widely used in premium homes.
Spanish (Cupa)
A high-quality, cost-effective alternative. Deep black colour with a smooth finish.
Fibre Cement
Man-made slate lookalike. Uniform finish and lighter weight. 30-year lifespan.
Choosing The Right Slate
Not all slate is created equal. We guide you through the grades and origins to find the perfect match for your budget and architecture.
Blue Bangor (Premium)
The gold standard. If you want the absolute best for a heritage restoration or luxury build, this is it. Lasts 100+ years.
Natural Spanish (Standard)
The most popular choice for new builds. Excellent durability and consistency at a more accessible price point.
Fibre Cement (Budget)
A man-made alternative that mimics the look of slate. Lighter and cheaper, but lacking the lifelong durability of stone.
Copper Fixing
We use only copper nails and copper crampons for fixing, ensuring the fixings last as long as the slate.
Master Slaters
Slating is an art form. Our team are time-served craftsmen who understand the intricacies of head-laps, random widths, and diminishing courses.
Heritage Restoration
We specialise in stripping and re-laying period roofs. We salvage up to 70% of original slates, clean them, and re-fix them with new breathable membranes and battens.
New Build Extensions
Building a rear extension? We can match the new slate perfectly to your existing roof, ensuring a seamless visual transition between old and new.
Slate Roofing FAQ
How long does a slate roof last?
A high-quality natural slate roof (like Blue Bangor) can last over 100 years. Even standard Spanish slate typically lasts 70-80 years, far outliving concrete tiles.
Is a slate roof more expensive?
Yes, the initial material and labor cost is higher than concrete tiles. However, when viewed over its lifespan, it is often more cost-effective as it never needs replacing.
Can my roof structure support slate?
Natural slate is heavy. If you are switching from lightweight tiles to slate, we may need to reinforce the timber structure. We assess this during our free survey.
Do you repair slate roofs?
Yes. We can replace individual broken or slipped slates without disturbing the rest of the roof, using specialized lead or copper hooks (tingles).
