Overview
Slate Roofs across Oxford & the whole of Oxfordshire
A well-laid slate roof is one of the finest finishes a house can have, and it can last a century. We work with natural slate for period and conservation properties and fibre-cement slate where a lighter, lower-cost option suits.
Slating is a skilled trade. Each slate is holed and nailed by hand, the margins have to be even, and the detailing around valleys and hips has to be exact. We slate the way it should be done, so the roof looks right and stays watertight.

Pricing
What affects the cost of slate roofs in Oxfordshire
Every roof is different, so we price each job on what it actually needs. The main things that affect the cost are:
- The size and pitch of the roof, and how much access or scaffold the job needs
- The materials chosen, from budget concrete tile to natural slate or leadwork
- The condition of the timbers, battens and felt underneath once we open up
- Whether it is a repair, a partial recover, or a full strip and re-roof
