Roof slate remains one of the most durable and visually enduring roof coverings available. For performance, consistency and compliance, new slate should be manufactured to BS EN 12326 and installed in accordance with BS 5534:2014 + A2:2018.
Because supply of reclaimed roof slates can be inconsistent, we stock a carefully selected range of new Welsh and Spanish roof slates alongside reclaimed options, helping you balance authenticity, availability and programme certainty.

New roof slates offer long-term durability, consistent sizing and a crisp, uniform finish. Welsh slate, including Penrhyn, Cwt-y-Bugail and Ffestiniog, is widely regarded as a premium roofing material. Spanish slate, such as Lousaval, can be a cost-effective choice where reclaimed availability is limited.
Trade tip: If you are trying to match an existing roof, begin with reclaimed slates. If you need certainty of supply, dimensional consistency and programme reliability, new slate is often the better option. If you are unsure, send us photos and slate sizes and we will point you in the right direction.
Our stock of reclaimed roof slates is varied and constantly changing. Some traditional sizes are becoming harder to source, so availability can be limited. If you need to match existing slates, order early and consider blending reclaimed and new slate where appropriate.

As a general guide, many slate roofs can work down to around 30°, depending on slate size, headlap, fixing method and site exposure. Larger slates may allow lower pitches when detailed correctly. Always follow the slate manufacturer’s guidance and BS 5534.
