Welsh slate is considered one of the highest quality slates available in the UK. Quarried from the mountains of Wales, this slate is renowned for its dense, fine-grained texture and rich, dark color. Welsh slate is highly resistant to weathering and can withstand even the harshest of conditions, making it an ideal choice for properties in Hurlston.

For homeowners looking for a more sustainable option, reclaimed slate is a viable alternative. Reclaimed slate is salvaged from old buildings and can be reused to create a unique and environmentally friendly roof. Not only does reclaimed slate reduce waste, but it also retains the character and charm of the original material.

Slate is typically sold by the square meter, with prices varying depending on the quality, thickness, and size of the slates. On average, you can expect to pay between £40 and £100 per square meter for new slate, depending on the type and quality. Reclaimed slate can be more affordable, with prices starting from around £20 per square meter.
