Horsforth, West Yorkshire

Re-Slating Your Roof

Slate roofs on older homes in Horsforth often outlast their fixings, which is why slates start to slip. A few slipped slates on a sound roof can be repaired one at a time rather than re-slating the whole roof.

If your slate roof is in Yeadon, Pudsey and Guiseley, get in touch on 0800 158 8240 or through the form.

Why Choose Us

Why Choose Us for Your Slate Roof

Slate roofs in Horsforth laid in true courses, with sound slates kept wherever possible.

Dark natural slate roof

Laid in True Courses

Each slate is graded and fixed so the courses run straight and every joint is covered by the slates above.

Reuse Where Sound

Good original slates can go back on the roof alongside new ones, keeping the character of the house.

Repairs or Re-Slating

A few slipped slates are repaired; a roof with widespread slipping is better re-slated, and you are told which.

The Owner on the Job

Evian Roofing is owner run, so the person who surveys your slate roof is responsible for the finished work.

Why Do Slates Slip Off a Roof?

Usually because the nails holding them have corroded, a condition often called nail sickness. The slates themselves may still be sound, but once the fixings fail they slide out of their courses.

Should I Repair My Slate Roof or Have It Re-Slated?

A handful of slipped or broken slates on a sound roof can be repaired. When slates are slipping across the whole roof, the fixings are failing everywhere and re-slating with new fixings is the lasting answer.

Can My Original Slates Be Reused?

Often, yes. Slates are checked as they come off, and sound ones are reused alongside new slates, which keeps the look of the roof and avoids waste.

What Is the Difference Between a Slate Roof & a Tile Roof?

Natural slate is thin, very long lasting and suits older and period houses. Concrete and clay tiles are thicker, come in many profiles and usually cost less to lay. Both need sound battens and membrane underneath.
