Why Slate Suits Chilterns Homes

Few roof coverings match slate for character and longevity. Its clean lines and natural depth of colour suit the period cottages, Victorian villas and character properties found right across Amersham and the Chilterns, and a well-laid slate roof can outlast almost anything else on the market.

We install both natural slate, quarried stone with genuine heritage appeal, and modern fibre-cement slate, a lighter, more affordable alternative with a crisp, uniform finish. Whichever you choose, every slate is correctly gauged, holed and fixed, with new underlay, ventilation and leadwork beneath, so the roof performs as good as it looks.

  • Natural slate for genuine heritage character
  • Fibre-cement slate for a lighter, lower-cost option
  • Correct gauge, fixings and detailing throughout
  • Sympathetic to period and conservation-area homes

Slate Roofing FAQs

Common Questions

How long does a slate roof last?
A well-laid natural slate roof can last well over a century, and quality fibre-cement slate offers many decades of service. Properly fixed slate is one of the longest-lasting roof coverings you can choose.
What is the difference between natural and fibre-cement slate?
Natural slate is quarried stone with unmatched character and longevity. Fibre-cement slate is a manufactured alternative that gives a clean, uniform look at a lower cost and weight. We help you choose the right one for your home and budget.
Is slate suitable for older Chilterns homes?
Yes. Slate suits period and character properties beautifully and is often the most sympathetic covering for older homes. We match the slate, fixings and detailing to keep the look right while bringing the roof up to modern standards.
