Slate Roof Repair in Swanley , Kent

One of the most frequent challenges we see with older roofs is nail sickness, where the original metal fixings corrode over time, causing slates to loosen or slip. If you notice gaps in your roof line or find fragments of slate in your garden, it is vital to act before water ingress occurs. We specialise in replacing damaged or missing slates, using matching materials to blend with your existing roof surface. By addressing these smaller issues early, we help prevent more significant damage to your timber battens and interior ceilings.

A roof is only as strong as its weakest point, which is often where the slate meets the chimney stack or valley. We provide expert lead flashing repair and chimney repointing to keep water from tracking behind your brickwork. Whether your property requires a new Code 4 lead apron or a repair to your existing stepped flashings, we ensure that the weathering is installed correctly to manage rainwater runoff effectively, particularly during the heavier rainfall typical of the North Downs area.

Swanley and Sevenoaks are home to many period properties where planning and conservation controls are strict. When working on these buildings, we prioritise the use of high-quality materials that meet local authority expectations. We take the time to inspect your roof properly, ensuring that any replacement slates or leadwork align with the heritage of your home. Our goal is to provide a durable repair that respects the original architecture while meeting modern standards for safety and weather resistance.
