Slate Roof Repairs and Re-Slating in Cheshunt

Slate roofs are slow to fail but rarely fail in only one place. If you have noticed pieces of slate in the gutter or on the path, the roof may be losing its grip across a wider area. TNR Roofing Services repairs and re-slates natural slate roofs on homes and commercial properties in Cheshunt.

Our slaters travel to EN7 and EN8 from Hemel Hempstead. During the free survey we look at the condition of the slates and their fixings, check the loft for staining, and explain whether targeted repair or re-slating will give you the better result for the money.

Pricing

What Affects Slate Roof Prices in Cheshunt

No two Cheshunt slate roofs cost the same, and these are the factors that make the difference:

  • The slate specified, as natural slates vary in source, size and thickness
  • How many of the existing slates are sound enough to reuse
  • The labour in fixing every slate individually with nails or hooks
  • Cutting work at hips, valleys, dormers and verges
  • Any lead flashings and ridge details that need renewing

How it works

From Survey to Finished Slate Roof in Cheshunt

What happens from your first call to the finished work.

  1. Free Slate Roof Survey

    We check the slates, nails and battens, look for slipped pieces outside and staining in the loft, and tell you whether targeted repair or re-slating is the better route.

  2. Clear, No-Obligation Quote

    You get a written quote that sets out the slate to be used, how many existing slates we expect to reuse and any leadwork needed, so you can decide without pressure.

  3. Stripping, Sorting and Fixing

    With scaffolding up, slates come off by hand and sound ones are kept. New underlay and battens go on, then the slates are fixed course by course with hips, valleys and flashings finished as we rise.

  4. Final Review

    Once the ridge is secure and the old battens and broken slates are cleared away, we review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I repair my slate roof or have it re-slated?

If only a handful of slates have slipped and the rest are firmly fixed, repairs make sense. If slates are slipping all over the roof, or the battens and underlay have failed, re-slating is usually better value. We explain which applies after the survey.

What happens to my old slates during re-slating?

They are stripped by hand and checked one by one for cracks, flaking and worn nail holes. Sound slates are set aside and go back on the roof, and any shortfall is made up with new slates.

Does Broxbourne Borough Council need to approve re-slating?

Not usually, because re-slating like for like counts as maintenance. Broxbourne Borough Council can confirm the position before work begins if your EN7 or EN8 home is listed or in a conservation area.

Can you make a storm-damaged slate roof safe?

Yes. Our 24/7 emergency response makes the roof safe and weathertight after high winds, and we then come back to carry out the permanent repair.
