Trusted Slate Roofing Landlords — Burnley
Landlords calling us are usually balancing three things at once — tenant safety, void time, and the invoice trail their accountant needs.
How this job usually looks for landlords
On slate roofing jobs for landlords, the priorities are usually predictable — and different from a walk-in domestic call. Here's what we plan around on a Burnley tenanted terraces job.
- Same-week attendance to avoid escalating tenant complaints
- Documented make-safe so the property meets basic habitability
- Itemised VAT invoices addressed to the landlord or letting agent
- Photographs before and after every visit for the tenancy file
- Options that protect the roof for the next 5–10 year hold
The slate roofing work itself
Slate is the right answer for almost every period property in Lancashire — and most failures are nail failures, not slate failures. We strip carefully, salvage every reusable slate, fit new copper or stainless nails to a counter-batten and breathable underlay, and re-cover with matched natural slate. Where conservation requires it, we source reclaimed slate to match.
How the slate roofing job runs for landlords
We coordinate access directly with the tenant, work around agreed hours, and never leave the property open overnight. Payment terms and invoice format are agreed in writing before we start.
Typical duration: 7–12 working days for a typical pitched-roof slate re-cover.

Every slate roofing job for landlords in Burnley closes with the same paperwork so nothing is verbal.
- Itemised written quote (VAT-separated)
- Photographic before/after record
- Written workmanship guarantee
- Emailed invoice within 24 hours of completion
