Slate Roof Repairs In Slough

If water is actively dripping into your living space, near electrical fittings, or causing your ceiling to bulge, it is an emergency. In these cases, we attend your property in Slough or Windsor as quickly as possible to secure the area and stop the ingress before it causes structural rot or mould.

For standard repairs and "like-for-like" replacements, you usually do not need planning permission. However, if your property is listed or located within a conservation area—such as Datchet Village Green or parts of historic Windsor—strict rules apply to the materials used. We can advise you on choosing natural Welsh or Spanish slates that comply with local authority guidelines.

This is usually "nail sickness." The nails used to fix the slates decades ago may have rusted away. While one or two slates can be secured, if they are slipping across the whole roof, it may be a sign that the fixings have reached the end of their life. We can survey the roof to tell you if a simple repair will work or if the slates need to be stripped and re-nailed.

Yes. If the lead in your roof valley has cracked or thinned, we can carefully remove the surrounding slates, replace the leadwork, and trim the slates back into position. This is a common repair in older properties in Maidenhead and Uxbridge where the lead has reached its 60-to-80-year lifespan.

In many older Slough homes, ridge tiles are held in place by traditional mortar. Over time, this mortar cracks and loses its grip. High winds can then get under the tile and lift it off. We offer traditional re-bedding services or can upgrade you to a "dry ridge" system which uses mechanical fixings for better long-term security.

We are very used to working in busy town centres and tight residential roads. We manage all the logistics, including arranging skip permits where necessary and ensuring our workspace is kept tidy to minimize impact on your neighbours.
