Replacement slate • Repairs • Restoration
Match the slate you already have.
Give Slate Boss a useful starting point for sourcing replacement material. Begin with safe photos, your project location and the quantity you need.
STEP 1
Show the whole roof
Take an overview from ground level. Include the area you want repaired and a closer zoomed view where possible. Mention whether you need a few replacement pieces or material for a larger restoration.
STEP 2
Show a spare piece
If you already have a loose spare slate, photograph its face, back and edge in daylight. Include a ruler for scale. Do not remove a slate from the roof yourself or climb onto it to collect a sample.
STEP 3
Record what you know
Include length, width, thickness, quantity, project city and ZIP code, and approximate roof age. If you do not know a detail, leave it as unknown. A roofer can help gather information safely.
STEP 4
Compare before ordering
Ask about sample availability, color variation, dimensions, thickness, condition and delivery. A photograph is a starting point; it cannot establish exact quarry origin, material quality or a guaranteed match.
