Slate roofing in Beverley
Slate roofing in Beverley, covered from our Hull office. Free survey, a written quote you can compare and a 10 year workmanship guarantee on the finished job. We will tell you if the roof does not need it.
Beverley is about 8 miles north west of Hull, so it is part of the Hull office's normal patch rather than a job we have to travel for. It sits in the HU17 postcode district. That matters when you need somebody back to look at something.
The roofs in Beverley
Beverley has one of the largest conservation areas in the East Riding, running through the town centre around the Minster, Saturday Market and Wednesday Market. On older property there the covering and the detailing both matter: clay pantile, natural slate and proper leadwork, rather than the nearest modern equivalent. It is worth knowing where you stand on that before anyone puts a scaffold up.
Beverley has a large conservation area around the Minster and Saturday Market, so on older property in the centre the covering and the detailing need to be sympathetic as well as watertight.
Slate roofs in Beverley are usually on older property inside or near the conservation area, where natural slate and sympathetic detailing are the right call. Reclaimed slate has a real place here for matching work, provided it is sorted properly.
What slate roofing in Beverley involves
- New natural slateWelsh and Spanish natural slate, holed and laid to the correct lap and gauge for the pitch.
- Leadwork and valleysLead valleys, soakers and step flashings, which do more work on a slate roof than on a tiled one.
- Strip and re-laySound slate carefully removed, sorted and re-laid on new membrane and battens with new fixings.
That is the short version. There is a fuller explanation of the work, the materials and the detailing on our slate roofing page.
Signs your Beverley property needs this
- Valleys and lead work perished at the same time as the slates
- Slates slipping across the whole roof rather than in one place, which points at nail fatigue
- Broken slates in the gutter after wind
Natural slate, fibre cement, and reclaimed
Natural slate is the long term answer and the right one on period properties, particularly anywhere a conservation officer has a view. It is heavier and dearer, and the roof structure has to be up to it, which on a roof that has always carried slate it will be.

- Natural slate against fibre cement, which is a significant difference in material cost
- The amount of lead work, valleys and abutment detail
- Roof pitch, since a lower pitch needs a bigger lap and therefore more slate

FAQs
Slate roofing in Beverley, questions we get asked
What is a tingle?
A metal clip used to hold a slipped slate back in place without stripping the courses above. It is a legitimate repair for one or two slates. A roof covered in them is a roof telling you the fixings have gone.
Can you match slate on an extension?
Yes, and matching is exactly where reclaimed slate earns its place. We will show you the match before it goes on the roof.
Do you cover Beverley?
Yes. Beverley is covered by our Hull office on 01482 961 240, and slate roofing is one of the services we run there every week. We also cover Cottingham and Bransholme from the same office.
How quickly can you get to Beverley for slate roofing?
Ring the Hull office on 01482 961 240 and we will give you a real date rather than a flattering one. Beverley is about 8 miles north west of Hull, so it is part of that team's normal patch.
Will you quote slate roofing over the phone?
No. We survey the roof first, photograph what we find and put the quote in writing. A price given without seeing the roof is a guess.
How soon can you start?
It depends on the size of the job and what is already in the diary. We will give you an honest lead time at quote stage rather than promising next week and turning up next month.
