Why choose reclaimed slate tiles?

  • Sustainability: Reclaimed slate tiles are an environmentally friendly roofing choice, preventing the need for new raw materials and reducing waste in landfills.
  • Aesthetic appeal: Each tile carries its history, offering a distinctive look that cannot be replicated by new materials. Their unique patina and texture enhance the visual appeal of any property.
  • Durability: Slate is known for its longevity, with many reclaimed tiles having withstood the test of time for over a century.

Buying guide

  • Source reliably: Purchase from reputable dealers like Lansdowne Roofing, known for our expertise in high-quality reclaimed roofing materials. We ensure that all our tiles are structurally sound and suitable for their intended use.
  • Match your tiles: Slate varies in colour and thickness. For a seamless integration with existing roofing, bring a sample of your current slate to ensure a close match.
  • Inspect for quality: While reclaimed tiles offer historical charm, they must also be functional. Look for cracks, chips, or any signs of excessive wear that could compromise their durability.

Selling guide

  • Know your product: Understand the history and type of slate you have. This includes its origin, age, and any unique characteristics that may increase its value.
  • Condition is key: Tiles in better condition fetch higher prices. Clean your slate gently to remove dirt without damaging its integrity.
  • Consult the experts: Before selling, consider having your reclaimed slate appraised by specialists like us at Lansdowne Roofing. We can help determine its market value and may even make an offer if it fits our inventory needs.
