Welsh & Canadian Slate Roofs
In Sydney, we work with Welsh and Canadian slate due to their superior quality and durability. Welsh slate has been used for roofing for centuries, providing a natural and aesthetically pleasing appeal to various buildings. We’ve had the privilege of working on prestigious heritage projects throughout New South Wales, which often require using this exceptional material.
Slate roofing remains a popular option, with Welsh and Canadian slate being the most sought-after material for Sydney homes. Our company caters to your specific needs, helping to keep the historic charm of Sydney intact.
Natural Slate
We love slate roofs for their timeless and gorgeous appearance. Natural slate offers remarkable durability and can last more than 100 years when properly installed and maintained. Slate is a natural stone product, making it completely fire-resistant, unlike other roofing materials like asphalt shingles. This ensures that our slate roofs provide both safety and energy efficiency, helping reduce your heating and cooling bills.

Our slate roofing solutions are ideal for heritage buildings, as they can preserve the historical charm while providing stability and longevity. Sydney’s heritage buildings often come with specific requirements, and we’re proud to work to meet those needs. With our fully insured services we ensure a high standard of workmanship and peace of mind for building owners.
Civic and Public Buildings
We understand the importance of a durable and beautiful roof for civic and public buildings. Utilizing natural slate, we can deliver roofs that withstand the test of time while maintaining a distinctive appearance that blends well with their surroundings. Whether it’s a new installation, re-roofing, or repairs and maintenance, we’re committed to providing exceptional slate roofing services for civic and public projects across Sydney.
