About Our Slates

At Joseph Parr Bradford, we supply roofing long-lasting slates, offering both traditional natural slate and modern alternatives.

A slate roof is one of the most durable and visually striking choices available for a home.

With over 140 years of experience in the building trade, our team can help you choose the right slate which, if taken care of properly, will last you over a century... almost as long as we have been going!

Types of Roofing Slates

Natural slate remains the benchmark for longevity and classic appearance.

Common origins include Spanish and Brazilian slates, which offer distinct looks.

These slates can last well over a century when installed, and of course maintained, correctly.

 

Key Benefits of Slate Roofing

Slate roofs are known for having an exceptional lifespan, often exceeding 100 years for premium grades, and faily easy to repair as well.

They resist frost, moisture, and temperature extremes while requiring minimal maintenance.

For environmentally conscious projects, natural slate is a sustainable material, which is a bonus.

 

Slate Quality and Grading

Slate performance is determined by grading standards such as W1 (water absorption), S1 (thermal resistance), and T1 (mechanical strength).

Our team can explain grading differences and match your specification, whether you’re sourcing for a full re-roof or replacing damaged tiles.

 

Selecting the Right Slate for Your Project

Roof pitch, structural loading, budget, and visual style all influence slate choice.

For repairs and replacements on traditional properties, matching the existing roof’s slats and texture is key, while modern projects may opt for uniform man-made slates.

If you are unsure, our experts teach you through compatibility with underlays, roofing battens, and fixing methods.

 

Maintenance Tips

Broken or slipped slates should be replaced promptly to prevent water ingress as that will lead to more significant damage.

Light moss can be removed with gentle brushing but for more complex repairs, seek professional assistance.
