Who We Are

Is Nail Sickness affecting your traditional slate roof?

Many older properties in Blackburn and Darwen were constructed using high-quality slate but were fixed with iron nails that eventually rust and perish. This condition, commonly known as "nail sickness," causes slates to slip out of position even if the stone itself is in perfect condition. If you notice slates on your driveway or in your gutters, it is a clear sign that your fixings are failing.In these cases, we often recommend a "strip and re-slate" service. We carefully remove your existing slates, replace the perished underlay with a modern breathable membrane (LR underlay), and install new BS 5534-compliant treated timber battens. We then re-fix your original slates using non-corrosive copper or stainless steel nails. This process restores the structural integrity of your roof while preserving its historic character and saving you the cost of entirely new materials.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Slate And Tile Roofing in Blackburn Questions

Answers to common questions about our Slate And Tile Roofing in Blackburn

How much does a new slate roof cost in the UK?

The cost depends on the size of your home and the type of slate you choose. Natural Welsh slate is the premium option because of its beauty and longevity, while Spanish slate or man-made slate can be more cost-effective. On average, a full re-roof can range from a few thousand pounds to much more for larger detached homes. We provide free, detailed quotes so you know exactly what to expect.

Can you repair just a few tiles or do I need a whole new roof?

In many cases, we can perform simple roof tile repairs in Darwen or Blackburn without replacing the whole thing. If your tiles are generally in good condition but a few have cracked or moved, we can swap them out and check the ridge tile replacement needs. However, if the felt underneath is rotting or most of the tiles are failing, a re-roof might be the better long-term value.

What is involved in re-slating a house in Burnley?

Re-slating involves removing the old slates, checking the timber rafters for rot, installing a new breathable membrane, and then fixing new laths (battens). Finally, the slates are nailed into place. We also take this opportunity to check the lead flashing around your chimney to make sure everything is 100% watertight.

How long does a tile roof usually last?

A well-installed tile roof usually lasts between 50 and 60 years. Concrete tiles are very durable, while clay tiles can last even longer if they are maintained properly. Regular checks and fixing small leaks quickly will help you get the most life out of your roof.
