Why Choose Century Roofing & Building for Your Slate Roof?

Is your property suitable for a natural slate installation?

Before beginning a new roof installation, our primary concern is the structural integrity of your home. Slate is a beautiful but heavy material, which means a professional assessment of your existing timber rafters is essential. We examine your roof structure to ensure it can support the weight of the slate tiles safely. If your property in Gillingham requires extra support, we provide clear, honest advice on the necessary reinforcements. This diligent approach ensures that your roof is not only visually stunning but also physically sound for many years to come.

Our precise approach to slate roof construction

We follow a meticulous process for every slate project to ensure long-term performance. After preparing the structure, we install a high-performance breathable membrane. This is critical for preventing interstitial condensation while protecting your loft space from external moisture. We then fit treated timber battens, spaced precisely to accommodate the specific size of your chosen slate. Each individual slate is then hand-laid with precision, ensuring the correct overlap to prevent water ingress. This method combines age-old craftsmanship with modern standards of weatherproofing.

Regulatory compliance and quality standards in Medway

We are committed to maintaining the highest standards on every project. Our roofing contractors in Gillingham strictly adhere to current UK Building Regulations, including Part L for thermal efficiency, which helps keep your home warm and energy-efficient. Furthermore, we install all roofs in accordance with BS 5534 standards for slating and tiling. Whether your home is a modern build or a heritage property requiring specific material matching, such as traditional Kent peg tiles or premium Welsh slate, we ensure all work is fully compliant and professionally finished.

Slate Roofing FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our professional slate roof installations, natural slate repairs, and maintenance services in Kent, London, Surrey & Sussex, Snodland, and the surrounding areas.

How much does a new slate roof cost in Snodland?

The price depends on the size of your roof and the type of slate you choose. Natural Welsh slate is a premium product and costs more, while Spanish slate offers a similar look at a more accessible price point. We provide tailored quotes after a physical inspection to give you an accurate figure based on your specific needs.

Can you repair a slate roof or do I need a full replacement?

Often, a slate roof just needs a bit of TLC. If you have a few slipped or broken slates, we can usually replace them individually without disturbing the rest of the roof. However, if the nails holding the slates have rusted away (known as "nail sickness"), a full re-slate might be the more cost-effective long-term solution.

What is the difference between Welsh and Spanish slate?

Welsh slate is widely considered the best in the world due to its durability and traditional look, making it perfect for heritage properties in Kent. Spanish slate is also a very high-quality natural stone and is the most popular choice for modern installations because it offers a great balance between performance and value.

How long does it take to install a new slate roof?

A standard semi-detached house usually takes between one and two weeks, depending on the weather. We work efficiently to minimise disruption to your daily life, and we always make sure the site is clean and tidy at the end of every day.
