Sourced from ethical and sustainable quarries, our natural slate roof tiles are available in a gorgeous range of organic tones that never loose their colour. - ![Adobe Stock 32627976 edited 2023 09 28 084255 gaha](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/_669x453_crop_center-center_none/AdobeStock_32627976-edited_2023-09-28-084255_gaha_2023-09-28-084656_pafn.jpg) Slate roof tiles have been the go-to option for projects based in locations with harsh weather conditions due to their unmatched resistance to heat, rain, frost and fire. Natural slates are a beautiful way to top off any building as they have an incredibly low carbon footprint when compared to other roofing materials. Sourced from carbon neutral Spanish and Brazilian slate quarries and local Welsh slate suppliers, please get in touch for further technical and environmental credentials. ## How we can help ![Adobe Stock 322140028](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Roofling/Slates/_532x338_crop_center-center_none/38665/AdobeStock_322140028.jpg) As well as supplying a wide range of products, we also offer a great range of bespoke services. - ![Brickability Icon Design and Spec](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/icons/Brickability-Icon__Design-and-Spec.svg) ## [Design and Specification](https://brickability.co.uk/design-specification) - ![Brickability Icon Technical Support](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/icons/Brickability-Icon__Technical-Support.svg) ## [Technical Support](https://brickability.co.uk/technical-support) - ![Brickability Icon Stocked Products](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/icons/Brickability-Icon__Stocked-Products.svg) ## [Depots](https://brickability.co.uk/stocked-products) - ![Brickability Icon Request Samples](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/icons/Brickability-Icon__Request-Samples.svg) ## [Sample Service](https://brickability.co.uk/sample-service) ![Roof slates placeholder](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Roofling/Slates/_622x652_crop_center-center_none/7332/roof-slates-placeholder.jpg) ## Fibre Cement Slates While natural slate can offer a high-end finish, fibre cement roofing tiles are able to offer a similar look for lower prices and a lighter weight. We are able to supply fibre cement slate in either a textured or smooth finish, with either dressed textured edges or straight square edges. Our range of dimensions and colours are also selected to match what you’d expect from natural slate, so you can still finish your scheme with a contemporary grey slate roof tile or a warm copper option. ## Your questions answered What slate roof tile dimensions do you offer? We’re able to offer slate roof tiles in a range of shapes and dimensions, with our standard sizes coming in between 500x250mm and 600x300mm. Our formats include standard rectangular shapes, plus more ornamental square, fishtail and bullnose profiles. How are slate roof tiles made? Natural slate roof tiles are made from 100% raw slate that undergoes no additional treatment following extraction and cutting. This simple production process means no artificial or toxic ingredients come near the natural slate tile, further adding to its sustainability benefits. Where can I find slate roof tiles near me? Our regional businesses are based across the UK, so you can speak to someone near you who knows your local architecture and the nearby schemes. We also deliver across the country and provide roofing samples, so you can be sure you’re making the right selection for your development. ## Be inspired - ![Adobe Stock 322140028](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Roofling/Slates/_636x414_fit_center-center_none/38665/AdobeStock_322140028.jpg) - ![Roof slates placeholder](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Roofling/Slates/_636x414_fit_center-center_none/7332/roof-slates-placeholder.jpg) - ![Grey roofing tiles supplied to large scale housing development.](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Roofling/_636x414_fit_center-center_none/CD5_0714_LR.jpg) - ![Adobe Stock 32627976](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Roofling/Slates/_636x414_fit_center-center_none/8081/AdobeStock_32627976.jpg) - ![RIBA Award Housing 22](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Roofling/_636x414_fit_center-center_none/35928/RIBA-Award-Housing-22.jpg) - ![Adobe Stock 7044703](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Roofling/Slates/_636x414_fit_center-center_none/38664/AdobeStock_7044703.jpg) - ![Holborough Lakes 21](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Roofling/_636x414_fit_center-center_none/Holborough-Lakes-21.jpg) 01 / 07 Many of our businesses can supply high-quality slates, plus other roofing products. - [![](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/logos/_192xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/222/BRICKMONGERSwessex_ONBLACK_GROUP_LOGO_2019_RGB-1.jpg)](https://brickability.co.uk/businesses/brick-mongers-wessex) OfficeDepot - [![](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/logos/Brickability.svg)](https://brickability.co.uk/businesses/brickability) OfficeDepotShowroom - [![](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/logos/BrickLink.svg)](https://brickability.co.uk/businesses/bricklink) OfficeDepotShowroom - [![](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/logos/_192xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/234/CPG_Building.jpg)](https://brickability.co.uk/businesses/cpg-building-supplies) OfficeDepot ## Looking for further design and technical guidance?
