Slate Roofing in Wells

We cover all aspects of slate roof installation across Wells and the surrounding area.

Welsh Slate Roofing

Welsh slate is the gold standard for UK roofing and suits Wells's period housing stock perfectly. We source quality Welsh slate and install to a high standard with full guarantees.

Reclaimed Slate Roofing

For properties in conservation areas or where matching an existing roof is important, reclaimed slate from Wells demolitions and salvage yards gives an authentic finish.

Slate Tile Repairs

Not every slate roof needs replacing. We carry out individual slate repairs across Wells, sourcing matching tiles for a seamless, invisible result.

Felt Underlay Replacement

During a re-roof, we always replace the felt underlay with a modern breathable membrane — an important upgrade that improves thermal performance and prevents condensation.

Ridge & Hip Repointing

Ridge tiles on slate roofs in Wells often come loose before the slates themselves fail. We repoint and rebed ridge and hip tiles as a standalone job to extend roof life.

Conservation Area Compliant

Many of Wells's older properties sit in conservation areas. We advise on appropriate materials and can work within heritage guidelines set by the local authority.

Slate Roofing in Wells - FAQs

Common questions about slate roof installation in Wells.

How much does a slate roof cost in Wells? +
Slate roofing in Wells typically costs between £3,000 and £12,000+ for a full re-roof, depending on property size, pitch, and slate grade. Welsh slate costs more than Spanish but lasts significantly longer. We provide a free, no-obligation quote.
How long does a slate roof last in Wells? +
Natural Welsh slate can last over 100 years when properly installed. Spanish slate typically lasts 40-80 years. The quality of the installation — battens, underlay, and fixing method — is just as important as the slate grade.
Can I get matching slate for a repair in Wells? +
In most cases, yes. We work with suppliers of new Welsh slate and reclaimed slate to find the closest match to your existing roof. For very old or unusual slates, reclaimed material is often the best solution.
Do I need planning permission for a slate roof in Wells? +
Like-for-like slate roof replacements are generally permitted development. However, if your property is listed or in a conservation area in Wells, Mendip District Council may have requirements about slate type and colour. We'll advise during your free assessment.
