A properly maintained slate roof can last 100+ years – but only with specialist care. With 17 years serving Zurich, Dachdecker Zurich AG delivers expert slate repairs that preserve your roof’s heritage and value. We use traditional techniques with modern materials: copper tingles for slipped slates, reclaimed slate matching, and precision lead work. Fully registered, insured, and backed by our 20-year unlimited guarantee and 365-day emergency service across Zurich.
Every slate roof repair starts with identifying the real problem – often hidden beneath the surface. Our three-stage process combines thorough inspection, specialist repair techniques, and guaranteed workmanship. We use traditional methods proven over decades: slate rippers for safe removal, copper fixings that won’t rust, and reclaimed slates matched to your original roof.
Our slate roof assessment goes beyond surface damage. We examine every slate for nail sickness (rusted fixings causing slates to slip), check ridge mortar integrity, inspect lead valleys for cracks, and assess timber battens underneath. Using specialist tools, we trace leak paths that aren’t always obvious – water often travels far from the entry point. You’ll receive a detailed written report with clear findings, cost breakdown with no hidden fees, and honest advice on repair versus replacement. Contact us at 044 505 67 69 to schedule your assessment.
Our craftsmen use traditional slate roofing techniques refined 17 years. We remove damaged slates with slate rippers – specialised tools that cut hidden nails without disturbing surrounding tiles. For slipped slates, we install copper tingles (non-rusting straps) rather than temporary clips. Broken slates are replaced with reclaimed pieces sourced to match your roof’s age, colour, and weathering. We repair lead flashings around chimneys and valleys using code-of-practice methods, repoint ridge tiles with weather-resistant mortar, and check structural timber for soundness. Every repair includes our 20-year guarantee. Contact us at 044 505 67 69 .
Slate roofs rarely fail suddenly – they show warning signs. Missing or cracked slates indicate underlying problems, often nail sickness where original iron fixings have rusted. Water stains on ceilings, dampness in attics, or daylight visible through the roof structure all demand immediate attention to prevent costly timber rot. Watch for these critical signs requiring professional inspection:

We start with a practical assessment, explain the condition of the roof, and agree the right scope before work begins. You get updates during the job, daily site care where needed, and a final review before handover.
Timing depends on access, weather, materials, and the scale of the work, but our team keeps the process straightforward from first call to completion.
