Slate roof repairs and re-slating in Denton
Denton is best known for its post-war semis, but its older terraced streets still carry plenty of natural slate. Our slate roof service in Denton looks after those roofs, from refixing a few slipped slates to stripping and re-slating a whole slope.
Slate is a long-lasting material, but it relies on its nails, battens and lead work. When those wear out, slates start to slide and water finds its way in. Getting that seen to promptly keeps the job small.
We offer free surveys and quotes, we're fully insured, and all of our work is guaranteed.

Slate on Denton's terraced streets
Alongside the inter-war and post-war semis and newer estates, Denton has terraced streets where many roofs are still slate. On a terrace, each roof is part of a continuous run, so keeping your slate in good condition and matching your neighbours matters both for weatherproofing and for how the street looks. Some terraces have had slate replaced with concrete tiles over the years, and we can advise whether a return to slate makes sense for yours.
We work on slate roofs across M34, including Haughton Green, Dane Bank and Audenshaw, as well as in Hyde and Reddish. Being about 5 miles from our Manchester office means Denton gets the same quick service as the city centre.
Repair or re-slate?
A handful of slipped slates can be repaired individually. If slates are slipping all over the roof, it usually means the nails have corroded right across it, and repairs will keep coming back. In that case, re-slating gives a lasting fix.
Call 0800 046 1159 and we'll inspect your roof, explain what we find and give you a written quote. If your existing slate can be reused, we'll tell you.
Slate roof questions from Denton
What's nail fatigue on a slate roof?
It's when the nails holding the slates rust through after many years. The slate itself may be perfectly fine, but without a sound nail it slides out of position. It's the most common reason we re-slate older terraces in Denton.
Can you replace concrete tiles with slate on my terrace?
Yes, if the roof structure is suitable. Some terraced houses had slate replaced with tiles years ago. Going back to slate can bring the house back in line with its neighbours and reduce the weight on the roof. We'll check the timbers and talk you through it.
How do you fix a single slipped slate?
We slide out the broken or loose slate, fit a matching replacement and hold it in place with a discreet metal clip, because it can't be nailed in the usual way without lifting the slates above. Done properly, it's a neat and long-lasting repair.
Can my old slates be reused when the roof is redone?
Often they can. We strip them carefully, sort out the cracked or flaking ones and relay the good ones, topping up with matching reclaimed slate. It's a good way to keep the original look and reduce waste.
Why is my slate roof leaking at the valley?
Many older slate roofs have lead valleys where two slopes meet. Over time the lead can split, or debris can block the valley and cause water to overflow under the slates. We clear and inspect the valley, then repair or renew the lead as needed.
Do you work on slate roofs on commercial buildings?
Yes. We work on domestic and commercial slate roofs, including older buildings with larger roofs. The same free survey, insurance and guarantee apply.
