Perhaps your Home Report recommends re-slating, a surveyor has identified serious defects, or you're planning a major roof replacement on a traditional property.

Scottish Slate Roofers can help you find up to three suitable independent specialist roofers to consider for the work — without the hassle of approaching every firm yourself.

Two distinct services

Roofing referrals and Project Intelligence are different products.

Scottish Slate Roofers works in two separate ways. The recipient limit depends on which service is being used, and the two should not be confused.

Owner-authorised roofing referrals

Up to three suitable contractors.

Where a property owner, representative or project decision-maker asks SSR to help source quotations, we may introduce the enquiry to up to three suitable independent roofing contractors.

The owner remains in control, compares the available quotations and decides who, if anyone, to appoint.

Project Intelligence

Non-exclusive, with a hard maximum of 10 paid recipients.

SSR also independently researches live roofing projects and packages verified project information for suitable contractors. These are not owner-enquiry leads.

Project Intelligence is supplied non-exclusively to a limited number of suitably matched contractors. The actual number depends on the opportunity and is often fewer than 10; 10 is the absolute maximum, not a sales target.

For Project Intelligence, the exact project identity and supporting intelligence are normally withheld until purchase. The applicable recipient limit and commercial terms are disclosed before purchase.

Natural slate.
Timeless protection.

Traditional slate roofing is more than a material – it is craftsmanship, heritage and lasting value for Scotland’s most distinctive homes.
