Slate roofing explained
A slipped slate needs more than a matching colour chosen from the ground. Adam checks the surrounding courses, the fixing position and the supporting roof layers before explaining the repair. Your roof's lead soakers and wall flashing also matter at junctions where water can enter beside otherwise sound slate.
Stormshield's Great Missenden record names Spanish slate for a new roof. The linked photographs show the earlier covering and work in progress, including exposed battens, so you can see the supporting layers involved in the work.
For your slate replacement, Adam names the slate and explains the membrane, battens and fixings beneath it in the written quote. Junctions around chimneys need their own detail, including lead soakers and cover flashing rather than a vague allowance for finishing. Spanish slate is evidenced on Stormshield's Great Missenden project, but the material for your roof belongs in your own specification. Adam's photographs help separate a covering problem from work needed underneath.
Adam bases your slate repair on the condition of its components. A weathered surface alone does not tell you which slates, fixings or battens need replacing. He photographs the affected courses and explains how your repair joins sound existing work. If replacement is proposed, your written quote identifies the retained and renewed components separately.
Great Missenden provides a real Stormshield example using Spanish slate, with before and progress photographs available. You can use that record to discuss the work sequence while keeping the decision about your roof based on its inspected condition and the material actually specified.

Adam was great to communicate with, turned up when he said he would to quote. A storm delayed the start of work, but we were kept informed. Roof cleaned, gutters facia and soffits replaced, solar panels pigeon proofed.
Excellent, job was done well without too much distraction as I work from home, job came in under quote - 11/10
The communications with Adam were excellent. The work was arranged quickly and carried out by Ben to a high standard. Would heartily recommend this company.
