- Expert Roofing Contractors in Leicester
Expert slate and tile roofing for homes and businesses throughout Leicester, Loughborough, Hinckley and the wider county. Timeless good looks paired with dependable, weatherproof protection.
Slate and tile roofs are a familiar sight across Leicester’s streets and the villages of Leicestershire, and there is good reason for that. Done properly, they look wonderful and hold back the weather for generations. That lasting quality, though, rests entirely on how well the roof is put together. Leicester Roofing Contractors installs, re-roofs and repairs slate and tile roofs throughout the city and county, marrying traditional roofing craft with the best of today’s materials and techniques.
Natural slate, clay tiles and concrete tiles each have their own character and each needs handling in its own way, so experience really counts here. We can re-roof a property completely, swap out a run of slipped or broken tiles, or take the time to match new tiles to an existing roof so a repair sits in seamlessly rather than sticking out like a sore thumb. Whatever the age or style of your property, we will help you keep it looking right while making sure it performs.
A slate or tile roof is far more than the covering you can see from the ground. Underneath sit the membrane, battens and fixings that do much of the hard work, and if any of those are not right, the roof above them suffers. We lay breathable membranes, fit sound battens and secure every slate or tile correctly, whether nailed, clipped or mechanically fixed. A common reason older roofs begin shedding slates is nail sickness, where the original fixings rust away over time, and where we find it, we put the roof back on a properly sound footing.
Honesty runs through everything we do. If a handful of well-chosen repairs will see your roof right rather than a full re-roof, that is what we will tell you. And if you would like certainty about its true condition before deciding anything, we can send up a drone to survey it and show you exactly what we find. As a local firm working hard to build a good name across Leicestershire, giving sensible, straightforward advice is how we earn it.

Slate and tile roofing rewards a careful, knowledgeable hand, and the difference between a roof that lasts and one that does not often comes down to the small details.

We respect the traditional skills that slate and tile roofs call for, while fitting up-to-date membranes and fixings beneath them. The result is a roof that keeps its classic character but has the durability of a modern build.

Thinking about slate or tile work and want a few things cleared up first? Below are the questions we are asked most often about our slate and tile roofing in Leicester and across Leicestershire. If there is anything else you would like to know, our friendly team is always glad to help.
It depends on the look you are after, the style of your property and your budget. Natural slate has a handsome, traditional appearance and an exceptionally long life, while clay and concrete tiles offer plenty of choice in colour and profile, often at a lower cost. We will talk you through the options and help you pick the one that suits your home best.
A well-laid natural slate roof can last a century or more, and quality clay and concrete tile roofs commonly serve for several decades. Much depends on the materials, the standard of the fitting and a little ongoing care, and all of our work is backed by our workmanship guarantee.
Yes, we are happy to carry out smaller repairs as well as full re-roofs. We will replace the affected slates or tiles and, wherever possible, match them to your existing roof so the repair blends in neatly rather than standing out.
The usual culprit is nail sickness, where the original fixing nails have corroded over the years and can no longer hold the slates securely. When we see this, we will explain your options, which may range from re-fixing affected areas to a full re-roof if the fixings across the whole roof have failed.
A re-roof means stripping the old covering back, checking and repairing the timbers and battens as needed, fitting a fresh breathable membrane, and then laying new or reclaimed slates or tiles. It gives your property a sound, weatherproof roof built to last, and we will keep you informed at every stage.
It could not be simpler. Give us a call on 07398 554104 or complete our online form, and we will arrange a convenient time to inspect the roof and provide a clear, no-obligation quote for the work.
