Slate Roofs in Hatfield

Slate Roof Repairs and Re-Slating in Hatfield

Damp in the loft, a slate hanging lower than its neighbours, or a gap in the courses after a windy night are all reasons to have a slate roof looked at. TNR Roofing Services repairs and re-slates natural slate roofs on homes and commercial properties in Hatfield.

We cover the AL9 and AL10 postcode districts from Hemel Hempstead. Because slate is so long lasting, our advice looks at the whole roof, including the nails, battens and underlay, rather than only the few pieces that have moved.

How a Hatfield Slate Roof Quote Is Worked Out

Hatfield slate roofing quotes are based on these points, each checked during the free survey:

  • 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

The Stages of Slate Roof Work in Hatfield

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

What does nail sickness look like from the ground?

Slates that have slid down out of line, gaps in the courses, and pieces of slate in the gutter or on the ground. In the loft you may see daylight or water staining. Several slipped slates in different places usually point to failing nails.

Are slates fixed with nails or hooks?

Both methods are used. Each slate is fixed individually, with nails or hooks, so it is held firmly against wind lift. We recommend the fixing that suits your roof during the survey.

Who handles listed building questions in AL9 and AL10?

Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council. Re-slating rarely needs consent, but listed buildings and properties in conservation areas can have rules on materials, so check before work starts.

Do you re-slate commercial buildings in Hatfield?

Yes. We lay and repair slate roofs on commercial premises as well as homes, and we plan scaffolding and timing with you to keep disruption down.
