Slate & Tile Roofing in Leeds

Traditional and modern slate, concrete and clay tile roofing — repairs, replacements and full installations across Leeds.

Most homes in Leeds have either a tile or slate roof, and both can last a very long time when fitted correctly. The trick is getting the small details right — the underlay, the battens, the laps, the flashings — so the roof doesn’t just look good, it stays watertight for decades.

We work on slate and tile roofs of all sizes, from single tile replacements to full re-roofs.

Slate vs tile — which is right?

If you’re re-roofing, you’ll usually keep what’s already on the property to match the area, but here’s a quick guide:

  • Concrete tiles — durable and cost-effective; the most common modern choice.
  • Clay tiles — beautiful traditional finish; very long lasting.
  • Natural slate — classic, smart appearance; popular on older Leeds properties.
  • Reconstituted slate — the slate look at a more affordable price.

Common slate & tile problems

  • Slipped or cracked tiles after wind
  • Failed nails causing slates to slide (“nail sickness” on older slate roofs)
  • Ridge tiles working loose as the mortar perishes
  • Valleys silting up and leaking
  • Moss build-up trapping water

Frequently asked questions

Can you match my existing tiles?

In most cases, yes. For older or unusual tiles we’ll do our best to source a close match — and we’ll always tell you up front if it’s likely to be visible.

How long will a new slate roof last?

A well-fitted natural slate roof can last 80–100+ years. Reconstituted slate and tile typically last 50+ years.

Do I need to replace ridge tiles or can they be repointed?

It depends on their condition. Where the tiles are sound, repointing or re-bedding is often enough. For long-term peace of mind, a dry ridge system is a great upgrade.
