About Natural Slate Roofing

Natural slate is the premium choice for a pitched roof replacement, prized for its distinctive natural finish and exceptional lifespan — often 100 years or more when installed and maintained correctly. It's a popular choice for period properties and conservation areas across Dorset, and we're experienced in matching slate to existing roofscapes where planning requirements apply.

  • Exceptional lifespan — often 100 years or more
  • Distinctive natural finish, ideal for period properties
  • Well suited to conservation areas and listed buildings
  • Resistant to frost, UV and general weathering
  • Full workmanship guarantee on completed installations
