Slate Roofing in Richmond

Slate is the definitive premium roofing material — natural, beautiful and capable of protecting a building for well over a century when correctly fixed. Stay Dry Roofing has built and restored slate roofs across Richmond's period and heritage properties for 25 years, and it remains the covering we're most passionate about.

We work with Welsh slate from Penrhyn and Cwt-y-Bugail, Spanish slate from reputable quarries, and reclaimed slate for sympathetic restoration of historic Richmond roofs. Every slate is hand-sorted, head-nailed and fixed to gauge, with lead soakers and flashings dressed to traditional standards.

Whether it's a full re-slate on a Richmond Green terrace, repair of a slipped and cracked slate roof, or a new build requiring the timeless aesthetic only natural slate provides, our craftsmanship is evident in every alignment.

Slate is the dominant roof covering across Richmond's older streets — from the Victorian terraces near Richmond Green to the grander villas backing onto the Thames. Many of these roofs are over a century old and, with proper care, have decades of life remaining. Our specialist slate repair work preserves these original coverings rather than replacing them unnecessarily.

For listed buildings and properties within Richmond's conservation areas, we work to conservation standards, sourcing matching reclaimed slate and liaising with conservation officers where required to deliver repairs and re-roofs that respect the original architecture.
