Slate Roofing in Kent — Slipped or Broken Slates?
Local repairs may be appropriate where the surrounding slate roof remains serviceable. We assess the condition of the slate covering, battens and membrane before recommending repair or a full re-slate. Your written quotation can be sent directly by WhatsApp or email.
About this service
Slate roofing includes natural Welsh and imported slates and modern synthetic alternatives. Correct grading, fixing and detailing at ridges, hips, valleys and abutments determine how long a slate roof stays weathertight.
We inspect slate roofs for delamination, nail fatigue, slipped courses and failed flashings, then recommend targeted repair or a full re-slate where the covering has reached the end of its life.
Typical problems we solve
- Slipped, broken or delaminated slates
- Nail sickness on older slate roofs
- Failed lead flashings and valleys on slate coverings
- Uneven courses and poor previous patch repairs
Benefits

- Traditional lead detailing where required
- Honest repair versus re-slate advice

Our process
We start with a professional inspection of your roof — using drone imagery where access is difficult — to identify the cause of the problem rather than just the symptom.
You receive a clear written quotation setting out the recommended works, materials and price, with no obligation.
Our experienced roofing team carries out the work using quality materials, keeping the site clean and organised throughout.
We complete a final inspection, remove waste responsibly and confirm any applicable workmanship guarantee.
Guarantees
Qualifying works are backed by a Pro Guard workmanship guarantee, confirmed in writing with your quotation.
Frequently asked questions
Natural or synthetic slate?
Natural slate suits many period properties; synthetic options can offer consistency and value on modern roofs. We recommend after inspecting the building and discussing appearance and budget.
Can individual slates be replaced?
Yes, where the surrounding covering and fixings are sound. Widespread nail fatigue or delamination usually points toward a larger re-slate.
