Local service overview
Slate roofing in Perth
Tay & Tile provides slate roofing through the Roof Repair Perth website for local homeowners and property owners. Our wider slate roof repairs in Perth overview also covers chimneys, leadwork and drainage.
Slate work depends on the size, thickness, grading and fixing of the existing covering as well as the condition of the sarking and weathering details around it.
Perth has a well-recorded tradition of grey and green slate over sandstone buildings, with chimneys and cast-iron goods contributing to the same roof composition.
Size, thickness, colour, headlap and the available fixing point all influence a sound local repair.
We explain the evidence, the proposed repair and the access assumptions in a free written quotation before work is agreed.
