Slate Roof Repairs and Re-Slating in Bishop's Stortford

A slate roof usually tells you it needs attention one piece at a time. A slate slides down and sits proud of the course, or a cracked one lets a damp patch appear on the bedroom ceiling. TNR Roofing Services repairs and re-slates natural slate roofs on homes and commercial properties in Bishop's Stortford.

Slate roofs in the CM22 and CM23 postcode districts are covered from our base in Hemel Hempstead. Good slate often outlasts the nails holding it, so before quoting we check the fixings and battens as well as the slates themselves, and tell you plainly whether a few repairs will do or the roof is ready for re-slating.

Pricing

What Shapes the Cost of Slate Work in Bishop's Stortford

Every Bishop's Stortford slate roof is priced after a free survey, with these factors carrying the most weight:

  • The slate specified, as natural slates vary in source, size and thickness
  • How many of the existing slates are sound enough to reuse
  • The labour in fixing every slate individually with nails or hooks
  • Cutting work at hips, valleys, dormers and verges
  • Any lead flashings and ridge details that need renewing

How it works

How We Work on Slate Roofs in Bishop's Stortford

What happens from your first call to the finished work.

  1. Free Slate Roof Survey

    We check the slates, nails and battens, look for slipped pieces outside and staining in the loft, and tell you whether targeted repair or re-slating is the better route.

  2. Clear, No-Obligation Quote

    You get a written quote that sets out the slate to be used, how many existing slates we expect to reuse and any leadwork needed, so you can decide without pressure.

  3. Stripping, Sorting and Fixing

    With scaffolding up, slates come off by hand and sound ones are kept. New underlay and battens go on, then the slates are fixed course by course with hips, valleys and flashings finished as we rise.

  4. Final Review

    Once the ridge is secure and the old battens and broken slates are cleared away, we review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do slates keep slipping off my roof?

When slates slip a few at a time across different parts of the roof, the nails are usually to blame. Over the years they corrode and give way, even though the slates are still sound. This is known as nail sickness, and a survey shows how far it has spread.

Can you match new slates to my existing roof?

Where some slates need replacing, we choose new ones to sit comfortably alongside the originals in size and thickness. Natural slates vary by source, so we look at what is already on your roof before ordering.

Do I need consent to re-slate a listed building in Bishop's Stortford?

Listed buildings and homes in conservation areas can have rules on roofing materials. Check with East Hertfordshire District Council before work starts, particularly if any change to the slate is planned.

Is the slate roof survey free?

Yes. Slate roof surveys in CM22 and CM23 cost nothing, and the quote you receive carries no obligation.
