Slate Roof Repairs and Re-Slating in St Albans
A slate roof is only as good as what holds it on. Corroded nails, tired battens and failed underlay can all let a sound-looking roof leak. TNR Roofing Services repairs and re-slates natural slate roofs on homes and commercial properties in St Albans, along with the leadwork where the roof meets chimneys and walls.
Slate roofs across AL1 to AL4 are looked after by our team from Hemel Hempstead. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, St Albans City and District Council can confirm what consent is needed, and our free survey will tell you how much of the original slate can stay.

How it works
Our Process for St Albans Slate Roofs
What happens from your first call to the finished work.
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.
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.
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.
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.
