Slate & Tiled Roofing in Reading
Traditional slating and tiling by roofers who know Thames Valley property. We handle repairs, re-tiling and complete new roofs.
Get a Free QuotePitched slate and tiled roofs are the traditional roofs of the Thames Valley, and when they're done well they last for generations. However, they need the right skills: proper setting out, sound battening, neat ridge and verge work, and careful matching of tiles or slates.
The right material often depends on the age and style of the property. A period house usually calls for natural slate or clay tiles, while a newer build can suit concrete tiles just as well.
We carry out slating and tiling of all kinds across Reading and the surrounding towns: natural and fibre-cement slate, clay and concrete tiles, plain tiles and interlocking tiles. For example, that covers everything from patch repairs and re-tiling to complete new pitched roofs.
On period properties we take care to match the existing materials and detailing, since that's what keeps a repair looking right and the roof's character intact. We fully insure and guarantee every job we carry out.
Deciding between materials? Our guide on slate versus tile roofing compares the look, cost and lifespan of each. For a real-world example, our piece on re-roofing a 1930s semi in Reading shows how these choices play out on a typical local home.
