Service overview

## What Is Slate Roof Replacement &amp; Reslating?

Slate roofing covers the repair, reslating and full replacement of natural slate roofs, including conservatory roofs. Slate is the traditional roofing material on a great many homes across Perthshire and Angus, and it needs a roofer who understands how it is laid and fixed.

### Who it&#x27;s for
It&#x27;s for homeowners with slate roofs showing slipped, cracked or missing slates, roofs that leak in heavy rain, or roofs that have simply reached the point where the fixings are failing across large areas.

### When you need it
Call a slate roofer when you see slates on the ground or in the gutter, gaps in the roof, staining in the loft, or when a conservatory roof starts letting water in.

### Why professional help matters
Slate work is detailed. Slates need to overlap and be fixed correctly or water will get between them. Lauren D. said Craig &#x27;took photos to show me the extent of the damage&#x27;, so you can see what&#x27;s happening on a roof you can&#x27;t see yourself.

The cost of waiting

## What Happens If It&#x27;s Ignored

One slipped slate lets water onto the roof beneath. Left alone, that water finds its way to timbers and ceilings, and the wind can lift neighbouring slates too.

### Risks and damage

- Water reaches the loft and ceilings below, causing stains and damage.
- Roof timbers exposed to repeated wetting deteriorate.
- Falling slates are a danger to anyone below.
- Small repairs turn into larger reslating jobs the longer they are left.

### Common mistakes

- Leaving a single slipped slate because &#x27;it&#x27;s only one&#x27;.
- Using sealant or mastic to hold slates in place instead of fixing them properly.
- Walking on a slate roof yourself and cracking more slates.
- Waiting until the whole roof fails before getting anyone to look at it.

Our process

## How Craig Does the Job

- 01
### Step 1 – Inspection
Craig visits, looks at the roof himself and takes photos so you can see what he sees.

- 02
### Step 2 – Diagnosis
He explains what&#x27;s wrong, what it will take to fix, and gives you a clear, free, no-obligation quote.

- 03
### Step 3 – Service execution
Slipped or broken slates are replaced, or the roof is stripped and reslated, with valleys and lead work dealt with at the same time where needed.

- 04
### Step 4 – Testing and checks
Craig checks the finished slating and the junctions with valleys, flashings and ridges before the job is signed off.

- 05
### Step 5 – Completion and guarantee
The site is left tidy and the work is backed by a guarantee of up to 15 years.

In detail

## Slate Roof Replacement &amp; Reslating: The Detail

### Slate replacement
Individual slipped, cracked or missing slates can be replaced to keep a sound roof watertight. This is often all an otherwise healthy slate roof needs.

### Reslating
When slates are failing across large areas, reslating replaces the covering to restore the roof. Craig will advise whether targeted repairs or reslating makes more sense for your roof.

### Conservatory reslating
Reslating conservatories is part of the service. A slate conservatory roof can suffer the same issues as a main roof and needs the same care.

### Valleys, leaks and lead
Slate roofs often leak where slopes meet in a valley or where the roof meets a chimney or wall. Valley repairs and lead work are carried out alongside slate work.

### Slate roofing across the area
Slate roof work is carried out across Perthshire and Angus, including Perth, Blairgowrie, Dundee, Pitlochry, Alyth, Coupar Angus and Aberfeldy.

### Why slates slip
Slates are held in place by nails. Over many years, those nails corrode and the slates begin to slide out of position, usually starting with one or two and spreading as more fixings fail. A slipped slate lets water onto the layer below it and, in high wind, can lift neighbouring slates too.

### Repair or reslate?
If a handful of slates have slipped on an otherwise sound roof, replacing them is quick and cost-effective. If slates are slipping all over the roof, it usually means the fixings are failing across the board and reslating is the better long-term choice. Craig will show you photos and explain which applies.

### Slate conservatory roofs
Slate conservatory roofs are affected by the same issues as main roofs, and water getting in here can damage the room below quickly. Reslating conservatories is part of the service.

### Working safely on slate
Slate is brittle and slippery, especially when wet. Walking on a slate roof without the right approach cracks more slates and puts you at risk. Leave it to a roofer, and don&#x27;t try to reach slipped slates from a ladder yourself.

### The joins matter too
Many slate roof leaks start where the slates meet a valley, chimney or wall rather than in the slates themselves. Because Craig also carries out valley repairs and lead work, he can deal with the whole roof rather than just the slates.

### What to expect from your free quote
When you get in touch, Craig arranges a time to come and look at the roof. He&#x27;ll go up, look at the problem properly and take photos so you can see exactly what he&#x27;s seen, which matters on a part of your home you can&#x27;t easily check yourself. You&#x27;ll then get a clear price for the work, with no pressure and no obligation to go ahead. If something can be repaired rather than replaced, he&#x27;ll tell you. If the roof is beyond repair, he&#x27;ll explain why.

### Why a small, owner-led team makes a difference
Ericht Roofing is a small, hands-on team led by Craig. That means the person who quotes your job is the person responsible for doing it, and the person you phone if you have a question. There&#x27;s no hand-off between a salesperson and a subcontractor you&#x27;ve never met. Customers pick up on this in their reviews: they describe Craig as honest, genuine, punctual and hard working, and many come back to him for further work.

### Preparing for the work
Before work starts, Craig will talk you through what&#x27;s happening and roughly how long it will take. It helps to clear access to the side of the house where the work is being done, move cars away from the driveway if materials need to be dropped there, and let neighbours know if access passes their property. Throughout the job the team keeps the site tidy, a point customers mention again and again.
