Natural slate roofing requires a thorough understanding of both the material and the traditions behind its use. At Gunn Roofing Co, we work with a wide range of natural slates, from premium Spanish slates to Welsh and reclaimed slates, selecting the most appropriate material for each property and project. Whether restoring a period building or roofing a high-end new-build home, our experience allows us to deliver slate roofs that respect traditional roofing principles while meeting modern performance standards.

Our work includes:

  • Natural slate reroofing
  • New-build slate roofing
  • Heritage and conservation roofing
  • Spanish and Welsh slate installations

  • Decorative slate detailing
  • Dormer and gable slate hanging
  • Leadwork integration and detailing
  • Roof refurbishment and restoration

A recent example of our work can be seen at a private residence in Hutton, where we completed a premium natural slate roof alongside bespoke code 6 lead bay roofs. Careful slate grading, precise setting out and attention to detail were essential in achieving the clean, elegant finish the project demanded.

Whether restoring a period property or roofing a newly constructed home, our focus remains the same: delivering a natural slate roof that combines outstanding performance with a finish of the highest standard.

HOW WE WORK

  • Jimmy and his team completed two jobs for me, the tiled roof repair was renewing some tiles and cement at the very top of my roof. The other was a total renewal of my flat roof. Both of the jobs were completed to a high standard. Jimmy and his team were very friendly and always kept me informed and were always on time. Very happy with the work and will definitely be recommending.
  • The hand finishing and fine detailed work was carried out to the highest standards . They have pride in their profession and it shows.
  • Firstly, communication and reliability were excellent. The work was completed to a very high standard and very reasonably priced. I would not hesitate to recommend Jimmy to anyone - a first class job, thank you!
  • Jimmy and Lewis recently completed our roof in Westcliff. It was a entire roof refurb, new felt, battern, tiles etc. Jimmy was very professional from the get go, popping round a couple of times and calling us to ensure we was aware of the process + tying in with the carpenter we had who was doing building works to the dormer. We’ve had terrible weather and rain since the works started and they have come round on there weekends to get the job finished for us. We are both so pleased with the quality of works done and will be recommending them to anyone needing a roof or repair!
  • Jimmy was professional, reliable and friendly. Jimmy also popped round before the works were due to help stop the rainwater coming any further into the house. He was super efficient and we were really happy with the work carried out. He kept us informed throughout the job. We would highly recommend Jimmy and will book him again for any future jobs we need.
  • I contacted Jimmy and he listened carefully to my requirement to help me with an estimation cost of repair of the roof based on my building survey report as I'm purchasing a house. Jimmy reviewed the report and provided me with an accurate, free estimation quote on time and he answered promptly to all my questions. Jimmy is very professional and I recommend him.
  • Following recent storms I needed replacement roof tiles hip and ridge tiles. These were replaced. Very professional and the work was carried out to a high standard.
