SlateRoofing.

Sharp lines, deep colour, and a lifespan measured in generations — few roofs match slate. We install natural and Eternit fibre-cement slate across Kent, from single repairs to complete new-build roofs.

Natural slate is one of the most durable roofing materials on earth, with a service life that can exceed a century. For projects where budget or weight matters, Eternit fibre-cement slates deliver the same crisp appearance with lighter weight and consistent sizing — ideal for new builds.

Our recent Appledore project — a complete multi-roof new-build development — shows what we do best: clean margins, dead-straight coursing, and detailing around dormers and valleys that stays watertight for decades.

Natural or fibre-cement?

We'll always give you an honest comparison. Natural slate costs more up front but can outlive the building; Eternit slates cost less, weigh less and install faster. Either way, the workmanship underneath — battens, membrane, fixings, ventilation — is where a slate roof is really won or lost, and it's where we don't cut corners.

As with all our work, we take real care with every layer before it's covered.

How long does a slate roof last?

Natural slate can last 80–120+ years when fixed correctly. Eternit fibre-cement slates typically carry a 30-year warranty with a realistic life of 50–60 years.

What's the difference between natural and Eternit slate?

Natural slate is quarried stone — unmatched lifespan and character, heavier and costlier. Eternit is an engineered fibre-cement slate — lighter, uniform, quicker to lay and easier on the budget, with a very similar finished look.

Can you repair just a few slipped slates?

Absolutely. Individual slates can be replaced discreetly using hidden fixings. We'll also check the surrounding fixings — slipped slates are often an early warning of nail fatigue.

Do you do slate roofs on new builds?

Yes — new-build developments are a specialty. Our Appledore project involved complete slate roofs across multiple new houses, from membrane up to ridge.
