Slate Roofs for Keswick homeowners

Looking for slate roofs in Keswick? Crest Roofing & Cladding cover Keswick and the wider Cumbria area as part of our regular working patch, so getting out to look at your roof is straightforward. Call 0800 046 3188 and we will arrange a visit that suits you.

Slate gives a roof a clean, classic look and a long service life, which suits much of the older stone and brick housing across Cumbria and the Lancashire hills. We lay and restore both natural and fibre-cement slate, setting each course out with the correct gauge, headlap and fixings.

When a slate roof begins to fail it is usually the nails rather than the slate, and slipped slates are the sign the fixings have gone. We assess whether a repair will hold or whether the roof is better re-laid, keeping sound slate for reuse where that makes sense and completing the lead details that keep the covering watertight.

Common questions

Slate Roofs in Keswick: your questions answered

Why are my slates slipping?

It is usually the fixings. Old nails corrode and let the slates go one by one, a problem often called nail sickness. Re-fixing or re-laying the affected area puts it right.

Is fibre-cement slate a good option?

Yes. It is lighter and more affordable than natural slate, keeps a consistent appearance and suits many homes. Natural slate remains the premium choice where the property calls for it.

Can you match slate on a period property?

Often, yes. We look for reclaimed and new slate that matches the size and colour, which matters on older and conservation-area homes, and explain the closest suitable option.

Repair or re-lay for a few slipped slates?

A handful of slips is usually a repair. Widespread slipping points to failed nails across the roof, where re-laying gives better long-term value. We explain which applies after an inspection.

How long does a slate roof last?

Natural slate can last a very long time, often outlasting its fixings. We set out the expected life of the covering and fixings you choose in your written quotation.
