Roofing slate was once dug in the parish itself, and the church of St Philip and St James — Groby’s own granite under a thick Swithland slate roof — shows the traditional Charnwood pairing. Nearly everything else in the village is concrete interlocking tile from the 1960s and 70s, and we work in both. On the estate roofs that means partial re-covers, new valleys and hips, and re-battening a slope where the felt has failed; on the few slated properties in the old core it means reclaimed slate sized to match, so a repair or re-cover isn’t obvious from the street.

Swithland slate is the heavy local slate once quarried in Charnwood Forest around Swithland and Groby, and it was the traditional roof of the area until cheaper Welsh slate took over in the 19th century. It is thicker and rougher than Welsh slate and laid in diminishing courses, with the largest slates at the eaves getting smaller towards the ridge. The last Groby slate quarry closed in 1908 and none has been quarried since, so repairs use reclaimed slate matched for size and thickness. A Swithland roof is best not patched with Welsh slate or concrete tiles, which look wrong and sit differently.
