Pitched slate and tiled roofs are the traditional roofs of the Thames Valley, and when they're done well they last for generations. But they need the right skills — proper setting out, sound battening, neat ridge and verge work and careful matching of tiles or slates.

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. 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 so repairs blend in and the character of the roof is kept. Every job is fully insured and guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions

Do you carry out both slate and tiled roofing? +
Yes. We work with natural and fibre-cement slate as well as clay and concrete tiles — plain, interlocking and specialist profiles — for both repairs and complete roofs.
Can you match the tiles on my period house? +
In most cases, yes. We source slates and tiles to match the existing roof as closely as possible, including reclaimed materials where appropriate, so repairs blend in.
What is the difference between slate and tile? +
Slate is a natural stone that's split thin and laid in courses — elegant and very long-lasting. Tiles are made from clay or concrete and come in many profiles. The right choice depends on your property, budget and the existing roof.
How long does a slate or tiled roof last? +
A well-laid natural slate roof can last 80 to 100 years; clay and concrete tiled roofs typically last 50 years or more. Ridges, flashings and battens may need attention sooner.
Is the work guaranteed? +
Yes — all slating and tiling work is fully insured and backed by our workmanship guarantee.
