Slate roof repairs in Clifton
While most of Clifton's newer homes are tiled, the older terraced streets often still have natural slate. When those roofs start to slip and leak, you need a roofer who understands slate. Our slate roof service in Clifton covers repairs, lead valleys and full re-slating.
The common fault is nail fatigue: the original nails rust and slates slide out. One or two can be refixed; widespread slipping usually means it's time to re-slate.
We have over 20 years' experience, offer free quotes, are fully insured and guarantee all work.

Slate roofs in Clifton
Clifton has terraced streets alongside inter-war semis and post-war estates. Slate is mostly found on the older terraces, while newer homes have tiles. Where a terrace mixes slate and tile roofs, we'll talk through whether to keep slate or match the neighbouring roofs.
We repair and re-slate roofs across M27, including Pendlebury, Swinton, Agecroft, Kearsley and Whitefield. Being about 4 miles from our Manchester office means Clifton gets the same quick service as the city centre.
Signs your slate roof needs work
Slates out of line, broken pieces in the gutter, gaps in the courses or daylight in the loft are signs. Damp on upper ceilings near chimneys or valleys is another.
Call 0800 046 1159 for a free survey. We'll inspect the slates, fixings and lead and tell you whether repairs or re-slating make sense.
Clifton slate roof questions
Can you repair just a few slates on a terrace roof?
Yes. Individual slipped or broken slates can be refixed or replaced. If slipping is widespread, we'll explain whether re-slating would be better value.
Should I switch my slate roof to tiles?
Tiles can cost less upfront, but slate lasts longer and may suit a terraced street better. Tiles are heavier, so the roof structure needs checking. We'll explain both options.
Can you match old slates?
Usually, with reclaimed Welsh slate in a similar size and colour. Reusing your own sound slates is often the best match.
What are lead valleys and why do they fail?
They're the lead-lined channels where two roof slopes meet. Over time the lead can split or wear thin. We replace them with new lead and re-slate neatly either side.
Can a slate roof be sprayed with foam to stop leaks?
We don't recommend it. Spray foam can trap moisture, rot timbers and make future repairs harder. Proper repairs from outside are the better approach.
Do you do slate work in Swinton and Pendlebury too?
Yes. We cover Swinton, Pendlebury and the wider Salford area for slate repairs and re-slating.
