Slate & Tile Roofing Specialists
Across Dorking & Surrey
Trusted, family-run roofing and building specialists with over 20 years' experience.

Ever noticed how some roofs in Westhumble or Box Hill still look amazing after eighty years? That’s usually down to the quality of natural slate or high-quality clay tiles. Natural slate, such as Grade A Spanish or Welsh options, is legendary for its lifespan, often lasting 75 years or more. If you own a period property in a Dorking conservation area, handmade clay tiles are often the only way to maintain that authentic, traditional character. For those looking for a more cost-effective but equally durable solution, we also install modern concrete tiles from leading brands like Marley and Redland. These come in a huge range of colours and profiles to suit any style of Surrey home. We can chat through the pros and cons of each material over a cuppa to find the best fit for your budget and your building.

While the tiles are what everyone sees from the street, it’s what’s underneath that does the heavy lifting. When we take on a re-roofing project, we don’t cut corners on the essentials. We use high-performance breathable membranes to prevent condensation and factory-graded timber battens for maximum stability. Every installation we carry out is fully compliant with BS5534 standards, which is the British Standard for slating and tiling. We also specialise in modern dry ridge and dry verge systems. Unlike traditional mortar pointing, which often cracks and falls out during a North Downs storm, these mortar-free systems provide much better wind resistance and a cleaner finish. It’s all about creating a roofing system that stays watertight for decades, not just a few winters.

It’s a familiar scenario for many local homeowners: you wake up after a night of heavy wind to find a broken tile on the driveway. It is tempting to ignore it if you can’t see any immediate water coming in, but even a single missing slate can lead to rot in your roof timbers over time. Whether it’s targeted repairs for water ingress, fixing lead flashing around a chimney, or replacing worn-out valleys, our team treats the small jobs with the same professional care as a full re-roof. We pride ourselves on our ability to match materials sympathetically. If your home has a specific type of weathered clay tile common in the Reigate or Dorking area, we'll do our level best to source a match that looks like it has always been there.
