The Tile Expert 🔍
Most people look at a roof and think it’s just tiles slapped on and that’s it.
It’s not!
This is slate grading. It’s the part nobody really sees but it makes a massive difference to how good the roof actually is.
Every slate gets sorted by hand. The better, stronger pieces go where the roof is going to take the worst of the weather. The cleaner, nicer ones go where the finish needs to look spot on. And anything that’s cracked or not up to standard gets binned straight away.
It’s proper skill this, not just fitting tiles. You’re building a roof that’s meant to last through years of British rain, wind, frost, the lot.
This is what separates a quick job from a proper one.
