Choosing the Right Roofing Tools

The best tool for the job depends on the roofing material, the type of project, and the level of precision required.

Slate roofs call for specialist tools, as do tiled roofs.

For metal and corrugated roofing, you’ll need snips or grinders designed for the profile and thickness.

When working with lead or flashing, bossing sticks, dressers, and bending tools are essential.

 

Categories of Roofing Tools We Stock

We keep the core categories covered so you can find everything in one place. Cutting tools range from slate and tile cutters to utility knives for trimming felt or membranes. Fixing and fastening tools include hammers, nail guns, screwdrivers, and staplers. Measuring and marking tools — such as tape measures, chalk lines, and pitch finders — ensure accuracy from the first cut to the final fix.

For specialist jobs, we supply leadworking tools like bossing mallets, bending sticks, and seam rollers, as well as lifting and access solutions including roof ladders, clamps, and brackets. Safety is paramount, so we also stock harnesses, gloves, and non-slip footwear to keep you secure on site.

 

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Tools

Look after your tools to extend their lifespan — keep cutting edges sharp, store them in dry conditions, and check power tool batteries regularly. Invest in quality where it counts: well-made tools improve accuracy, reduce fatigue, and last longer under daily use. For example, a high-grade slate hammer or a reliable cordless drill can transform the speed and quality of your work.
