Our Vision
Our mission is to find economical and eco-friendly solutions to the manufacturing process without compromising on quality.
Our flagship product is our Eco roof slate which is manufactured from 100% recycled materials and is the most eco friendly way to give a high end slate look to residential, commercial and garden buildings.
Sustainably manufactured from 100% recycled plastic, and also fully recyclable.
Lightweight
A lightweight alternative to real slate, up to 50% quicker to install, with the flexibility to use on curved roofs.
Self-Bonding
Over time, the slates bonds together under sunlight and UV to form a solid membrane.
Fire Rated A
Rigorously tested for fire exposure and compliant to BS476: Part 3: 2004 standard, with the highest Class ‘A’ rating.
ECO REVOLUTION
Strong, pliable and attractive roofing solution for a wide range of building applications
Eco Slate uses a state of the art formulation which provides a strong, pliable and attractive roofing option for a wide range of building applications. This self-bonding roof shingle has the unique flexibility for use on ridges and hips. There is no need for custom-made accessories because every slate can be cut and set to any angle or size you need.
The process gives a stronger, more pliable membrane and creates a roof that is wind and weather resistant, and provides better insulation even at low pitches.
Eco Slate installation is incredibly cost effective – it takes less than half the time of traditional slate, all without any damage, breakages or waste associated with real slate.

Depending on pitch the number of slates you will need will vary from 16 to 19 slates per square metre, however for all normal situations the installation procedure is the same.
How do the slates hold up in strong winds?
Wind is not a problem. Eco Slate is tested to BS 5534: 2014 on a board roof for its resistance to uniformly distributed loads, in other words, the wind and snow likely to be encountered. The slate has also been independently tested for wind speeds up to 110mph with no water infiltration or discernible damage or distortion.
What type of nail should I use for installation?
Relevant size 15mm length and 5mm head, stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanised nails are recommended.
Do you need to use underlay during installation?
Yes, we recommend using a breathable membrane.
Can the slates be cut for angles?
Yes, a Stanley knife blade or any other cutting equipment will cut the slate.

Eco Slate is made from 95% recycled plastic and a small amount of naturally occurring additives. Eco Slate is the only man made slate manufactured in the UK that is both recycled and recyclable.
Are the Eco Slates lightweight?
Eco Slates are extremely lightweight in comparison with most other options. On average, a square metre will weigh less than 12kg.
Does the colour fade?
Over the 50 year warranty expect a variable colour change; however the UV inhibitors ensure they are extremely fade resistant.
How are the slates packaged?
The slates are packaged in boxes of 16.
Do the slates get brittle in the sun?
No, Eco Slates have built-in UV inhibitors to protect against harmful UV rays.
No, the slates have been given a class 4 impact rating.
How many slates do you get to a square metre?
16 slates on average per square metre for a pitch of 20 to 45 degrees. 7 slates per linear metre for ridges and hips. 3 slates per linear metre for verges.
Will there be any noise problems during heavy rain or hail?
No, the slates are solid and not hollow, so the noise is kept at a minimum.
Are all slate colours supplied always the exact same colour?
Eco Slate is made from recycled material so some modest variation in colour is possible between batches, we recommend that boxes of slates are mixed on site and slates selected randomly for installation. Please ensure you order enough slates – we always recommend that the entire quantity of slates for each roof is ordered at the same time.
How many slates will I need if the pitch of my rood is below 20 degrees?
Roof pitches between 15-20 degrees require on average 17 slates per square metre. Roof pitches between 10-15 degrees require on average 19 slates per square metre. Please contact use if you require further information.
