A slate roof is a premium roofing system made primarily of natural slate tiles and other roofing materials.
We provide both the material and installation.
Slate is widely used as a roofing material because it absorbs minimal water (absorption index being 0.4%), which makes it resistant to frost damage and breakage due to freezing. It is also favoured for its moisture resistance. Since water can’t penetrate slate, the roof won’t be affected by mould or fungus. In addition, slate is completely fireproof and is also a good electrical insulator.
You can find our selection of slate tiles on our webshop.

When a slate roof is installed correctly and maintained well, it can last up to 150 years or longer. This is why slate is one of the most expensive types of roofing materials, and its installation is equally expensive.
The contractor plays a critical role in securing longevity of the slate roof. Installation should only be done by reputable, experienced slaters, such as Slate Specialists Ireland Limited.
We possess the kind of skill and experience necessary to handle and install slate tiles. Each individual tile has to be carefully handled because they’re easily breakable. If the installation is not done properly the slate tiles will break, causing leaks and cutting short the roof’s lifespan.
Slate Specialists Ireland Limited is here to ensure that does not happen and that your roof reaches full longevity.
