0191 468 3081Natural Slate Roof Installation
Natural slate offers variation in colour and texture for pitched roofs. INFINITE Roofing provides slate installation services across the North East, with the material and installation scope agreed for your property's structure and design.
Slate types differ in appearance, thickness and size. We can discuss new and reclaimed options, including how closely available materials match an existing roof.
Slate suitability depends on the roof pitch, structure and detailing. For listed buildings or conservation areas, check any planning requirements before choosing materials. Fixings, ventilation and maintenance also need consideration.


Slate Roof Repairs North East
Slate roofs can develop slipped or broken slates, wind damage and failed fixings. Corroded nails can allow otherwise usable slates to move. Inspection helps identify the condition of both the covering and its supporting components.
Our experienced slate roofers carry out all types of slate roof repairs, from replacing a single slipped slate using copper tingles or stainless steel clips, to more extensive work addressing widespread nail sickness where multiple slates have become loose. We also specialise in lead flashing repairs around slate roofs — the junctions at chimneys, valleys, and abutments on slate roofs require particular expertise to ensure weathertight joints that complement the slate covering. North East weather, with its driving rain and frequent freeze-thaw cycles, can be particularly punishing on slate roofs, making regular maintenance and prompt repairs essential.
Contact us about storm damage or sudden slate roof leaks across the North East. Availability, safe access and material sourcing affect when work can take place and which repair options are suitable.
Reclaimed & Salvaged Slate
Reclaimed slate may help match an existing roof on a period property. The appropriate material depends on its condition, dimensions and any planning requirements. Contact us to discuss sourcing options and availability.
Colour, thickness, texture and size all matter when selecting a replacement slate. We can assess the existing covering and discuss compatible options, subject to available materials.
Reusing suitable slate can avoid replacing serviceable material. Reclaimed slates need assessment for damage and compatibility; their previous age alone does not establish their remaining service life.


Slate vs Tile Roofing
Slate and tile roofing offer different appearances and installation requirements. The suitable option depends on roof pitch, structural capacity, budget and the scope of the proposed work. Request a property-specific quote to compare options.
Natural slate varies in colour and texture, while tiles are available in different profiles and finishes. Weight and performance depend on the particular product and roof system, rather than the material name alone.
For properties in conservation areas across the North East, slate may be the only permitted option. For new builds and modern extensions, concrete or clay tiles may offer a more cost-effective solution. INFINITE Roofing can advise on the best material for your specific property and carry out expert installations in both slate and tile roofing systems. We'll provide an honest, impartial recommendation based on your property's needs and your budget.
