What we do

Roof Tiling & Slating, Done Properly

Roof slating
01

Roof slating

Slate has been a trusted roofing material for hundreds of years, thanks to its long life expectancy and timeless looks. A slate roof brings a rustic, characterful feel to a property that modern alternatives struggle to match, which is why it remains so popular on traditional Somerset homes.

We offer both natural and man-made slate. Some of the most popular choices are Chinese and Spanish slate, which combine a more affordable price with a long life expectancy of around 60 to 75 years. We will talk you through the options and help you pick a high-quality slate that lasts.

Whether you need a single broken tile replaced or a complete re-roof, we can help. With plenty of profiles and materials to choose from, we will find tiles that suit the look of your home and the way you want to use it.

If you are after a natural material with an attractive finish, clay tiles are a great choice for their low maintenance and excellent weather resistance. For a more cost-effective option, cement tiles offer a long life expectancy and plenty of versatility. We are happy to give you a full rundown so you can decide with confidence.
