Why Choose Century Roofing & Building for Your Slate Roof?

How We Install and Restore Slate Roofs

Our process begins with a comprehensive structural assessment to ensure your existing timber rafters can safely support the weight of natural or synthetic slate. Once the structure is verified, we move to the preparation phase, stripping away old materials and inspecting the substrate for any signs of decay. We then install high-performance breathable membranes and treated timber battens to create a secure foundation. Finally, our team hand-lays each slate with precision, following traditional craftsmanship techniques that ensure every overlapping course is perfectly aligned and wind-resistant.

Why Choose Slate for Your Northfleet Property?

Choosing slate for your new roof installation offers several distinct advantages. First, it is an exceptionally durable material that withstands heavy rain, high winds, and fire with ease. Second, it adds significant curb appeal, increasing the market value of your home. Third, it is an environmentally friendly, natural product that requires minimal maintenance over its long lifespan. Whether you are seeking the classic elegance of Welsh slate or the practical benefits of high-quality man-made alternatives, we help you select the right finish for your home.

Are You Compliant with UK Building Regulations?

At Century Roofing and Building, we take regulatory compliance seriously. All our slate roofing projects in Northfleet are completed in strict accordance with UK Building Regulations. This includes meeting the latest requirements for thermal efficiency under Part L and adhering to BS 5534 standards for slating and tiling. For homes located in sensitive areas or properties that require specific tile matching, such as Kent peg tiles or heritage slate, our team ensures that all work aligns with local authority planning guidelines, providing you with complete peace of mind.

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.
