Slate Roof Repairs and Re-Slating in Borehamwood

Natural slate is dense and sheds rain well, but each piece relies on its own fixing. Once those fixings fail, slates start to move. TNR Roofing Services replaces slipped and cracked slates, deals with nail sickness and re-slates worn roofs for homes and businesses in Borehamwood.

Slate work in Borehamwood, which falls within WD6, is carried out from our base in Hemel Hempstead. A free survey looks at the slates, the nails and the battens beneath, so the quote you receive is based on what is actually happening on your roof rather than the one slate you can see from the garden.

Pricing a Slate Roof in Borehamwood

  • 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

Our Borehamwood Slate Roofing Process

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

How is a single cracked slate replaced?

The broken slate is removed and a new one is slid into place, then secured with a hook or tingle so the courses around it are not disturbed. On a sound roof this is a quick, tidy repair.

Do you work on commercial slate roofs in WD6?

Yes. Alongside homes, we repair and re-slate roofs on commercial premises in Borehamwood, and plan the work so it disturbs your business as little as possible.

Is natural slate heavier than concrete tiles?

No, slate is generally lighter than concrete tiles for the same area of roof. That can matter on an older roof structure that was built to carry slate in the first place.

Who do I ask about planning rules for my roof in Borehamwood?

Hertsmere Borough Council. Re-slating is usually treated as maintenance, but listed buildings and properties in conservation areas can be different, so it is worth checking first.
