Why Choose Us

Why Choose Regent for Slate

In Redditch, battens are set to the slate size before the first course goes on, so the finished roof runs true.

Even Courses, Clean Lines

Battens are set out to the slate size first, so courses run straight and the gauge stays even from eaves to ridge.

Both Slate Types

Natural and fibre cement slate are both fitted, so your roof decides the choice, not a sales pitch.

Secure Fixings

Each slate is held by copper nails or stainless hooks, chosen to suit the slate and its exposure.

Planning Checked

If a listing or conservation area applies, the slate is agreed first, so nothing has to be redone.

What Is the Difference Between Natural & Fibre Cement Slate?

Natural slate is split from quarried rock, so each piece varies slightly in thickness and texture, and its colour stays true over time. Fibre cement slate is manufactured, lighter and uniform in size, giving a flatter, more regular finish. Both make a sound roof when they are fixed correctly.

Why Are the Slates on My Roof Slipping?

The usual cause is nail sickness: the nails holding the slates corrode until they snap, and the slates slide down the roof. Once many slates are moving, it shows the fixings across the whole roof are failing, which is when re-slating is worth considering.

Can Old Slates Be Reused on My Roof?

Sometimes. Sound natural slates can be salvaged and mixed in, often on the front slope, but slates that are cracked, soft or flaking are not worth reusing. The condition of the existing slate is checked before this is decided.

Are Slates Fixed with Nails or Hooks?

Both methods are used. Nailing through each slate is the traditional approach, while stainless steel hooks hold the slate at its tail and need no holes near the top. The slate, the pitch and the exposure of the house decide which fits.
