A slate roof is environmentally friendly, easy to maintain & costs less than just about any other roof when the life of the roof is taken into consideration.
From under the earth to the top of your home, there is nothing more natural than a stone slate roof. Quarried, chiseled and then trimmed into various shapes and sizes, a slate roof will give your home a traditional feel and here at JW Construction Roofing Experts we strive to ensure that is always the case.
The break ability of slate makes it possible to split the stone into thin sheets and, even when broken, slate retains a natural appearance while remaining flat and easy to stack, making it ideal for roofing material.
Natural slate is used by our building professionals at JW Construction Roofing as a result of its beauty and durability. Slate is incredibly durable, being able to withstand pressures to last up to several hundred years with often very little, or no, maintenance. Another benefit of slate roofing is that its extremely low water absorption rate (less than 0.4%) makes it very resistant to frost damage and breakage due to freezing temperatures.
Slate is also fire resistant and energy efficient so what further reason could stop you contacting us to add character to your home with a traditional slate roof that will still be going strong when your grandchildren are all grown up?

(ie....hardly ever on his phone,almost no breaks,or annoying unnecessary trivial trips to suppliers for forgotten materials or tools) etc....The supplier at my local plastic suppliers even commented on Justin as ' one of only a couple of roofers he would be glad to recommend ' ...' 30 years of roofing, and qualified to passing his own work to building inspectors regulations'! Top quality service on a single storey pitched roof with velux, including soffit, facia and guttering......very professional. ..highly recommendable...."

28th January 2018"We contacted this firm having read reviews which were impressive, and because we had a leaking dormer roof we required help urgently. In such a position there is the danger of making a hasty decision, but in light of the positive reviews we felt safe in agreeing to JW undertaking the work. The weather gods haven't been kind, but this initial work is complete, and of a very high standard. We now look forward to a complete new roof which will commence in the near future and are confident that the end result will be splendid. I have recommended JW Construction to neighbors who have also agreed for roof work to be undertaken. The main point is that the roof is a vital part of the house, and Justin and his team are clearly highly competent, skilled practitioners in this field. Acquiring roof contractors can be risky..... I can only state that we have complete peace of mind in our decision to engage Justin and his team."

24th March 2017"Having decided to go ahead with a dormer loft conversion and getting several builders round, JW Construction was the one that stood out to me the most and i was not to be disappointed. Justin designed and got my plans drawn up for the full conversion,which even included steel calculation. The work completed can only be described as exceptional and are an extremely honest and trust worthy company to the fact i handed them the keys to my property. Along the way Justin kept me updated on each stage of the build which puts you at ease. They cleaned up at the end of everyday and even put plastic down to keep the carpets clean. They were quite few added extras along the way which Justin completed for me without any issues and kept the price down to a minimum. I would recommend JW Construction to anyone and if anyone wants to see his work they can contact him and are free to look at the work completed. I would like to say a massive thank you to Justin and his team for a quality job!"

17th February 2019Following completion of our main roof being re-tiled and JW Construction doing an excellent job we asked them back again to install a firestone flat rubber roof over our garage and utility room. Once again Justin and his team did an excellent job. So very pleased with the outcome and would recommend them to anyone as they are trustworthy and take the time to explain any concerns you have before and during the job
Donald Giles
25th May 2019Justin and team replaced the lead in our stone gutters and repaired the roof above the guttering. We felt comfortable that we had been provided with all the information required before the job commenced and Justin kept us fully informed as the work was being carried out. We are very pleased with the finished result and our house is now water tight once more. Everything was done to time and budget and the site was left clean and tidy. Justin also dealt with our very difficult neighbour with tact and diplomacy. Overall I would be more than happy to recommend Justin and team.

29th November 2018JW Construction installed an awesome new roof for me about 8 months ago - BRILLIANT JOB. I want to very much thank, Justin of JW Construction roofing specialists etc., (as part of his great after service, care) for coming out to me at such short notice. I needed advice due to the potential impact, on my roof, from the adjoining neighbours roof, where roof work had been carried out, by a less than reputable, other contractor. Justin safely gained access to my roof, examined the situation with care, and immediately allayed my concerns. Very grateful, to Justin, thank you. J
