Expert Slipped Slate Repair in Epsom & Across Surrey

When you trust Kevington Roofing with your slipped slate repair in Epsom, you're choosing a thorough, professional service. Our process starts with a detailed inspection to pinpoint not just the slipped slate, but also to check for any other hidden damage or vulnerable areas on your roof. We safely access your roof, carefully remove the affected slate, and assess the battens and underlay beneath. We then meticulously source matching slates, whether they're natural Welsh, Spanish, or man-made, to ensure a seamless finish that blends perfectly with your existing roof. Our skilled team then expertly fixes the new or repositioned slate using durable copper nails or specialist slate hooks, ensuring it's securely anchored and fully weatherproof. We aim for a repair that’s built to last.

We are fully insured and a registered UK company (No: 12676001), giving you complete peace of mind.

Beyond fixing individual slipped slates, we offer a full range of slate roof maintenance services designed to extend the lifespan of your roof and prevent future problems. Regular checks can identify issues before they escalate. Our maintenance work includes safely removing moss and lichen, which can hold moisture and lift slates, re-bedding loose ridge tiles, inspecting and repairing lead work around chimneys and valleys, and clearing blocked gutters. By investing in regular roof maintenance, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of needing emergency repairs, keeping your home secure and dry for many years to come.

Slates on a pitched roof can slip for several reasons, and knowing these causes helps us provide the best repair. One of the most common culprits is "nail sickness" or "nail fatigue," where the original nails holding the slates in place corrode and break over time, especially in older roofs. Stormy weather, with strong winds and heavy rain, can also dislodge slates. Improper original installation, where slates aren't overlapping correctly or are not secured properly, can also lead to premature slipping. Thermal expansion and contraction from changing temperatures can gradually loosen fixings, as can movement in the roof structure itself. Our experienced team can diagnose the root cause of your slipped slates and advise on the most effective solution.
