A slate roof is more labour intensive than other roof coverings such as tiles, but is one of the most beautiful roofs that can be installed and this traditional roofing material has stood the test of time. The techniques for laying slates and shingles have not changed substantially for many centuries. 

This work requires experienced craftsmen and does take longer to install than either terracotta or concrete tiles or metal roofs, but the end result is a aesthetically pleasing roof, of a natural material, which is fire resistant, not susceptable to insects or rot and has a longevity of up to 120 years. Slate tile is often specified by architects or requested by owners due to its visual appeal and heritage character.

Some of our slating projects include Sydney University, St Andrews College, Goulburn Court House, Newcastle Court House, Singleton Court House, Maitland Lands Title Office, Dept Of Commerce (formerly Public Works Dept) Head Office in Newcastle, Sydney Grammar School, Methodist Ladies College, Pymble Ladies College, Woollahra Public School, St Peter's Church Maitland, St Francis Church Surry Hills, St Patricks Church, All Souls Church, ASN Building the Rocks, The Bradman Museum Bowral, Luis Vuitton Building Sydney and many private residences.
