Tiling & Slating in Reading
Reading's Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built almost universally with Welsh slate — and where that slate is still in serviceable condition, the right repair is like-for-like replacement with matching natural slate, not an overlay with a heavier concrete tile that changes the roof's structural loading. Legacy Roofing tiles and slates across Reading, advising on whether natural slate, fibre cement, or concrete tile is the correct choice for each property and each planning context.
Caversham's residential streets — including Westfield Road and Hemdean Road — contain a high proportion of original Welsh slate in good condition, mixed with sections that have been repaired with fibre cement over the years. We match the existing material profile rather than defaulting to a blanket replacement.

Tiling & Slating in Reading — FAQs
We can source matching reclaimed or new Welsh slate in most cases. Where a perfect match is not available we will show you the options before any work starts.
Natural Welsh slate is a quarried stone product with a distinctive texture and very long life expectancy. Fibre cement slate is manufactured and more uniform in appearance; it costs less. We can advise on which is appropriate for your property.
Good-condition tiles are often worth salvaging, and reclaimed clay and slate can be more attractive than new. We will assess the existing covering on site and advise on what percentage is re-usable.
