About Us
Based in Scarborough, we are a professional roofing business built on experience, training, and pride in our work. Having started roofing at the age of 16, we have developed extensive hands-on experience working on a wide range of properties across England, alongside continued specialist training to refine our skills.
Previously known as S J Roofing & Maintenance, we chose to rebrand as Slate & Lead Smiths to better reflect the extensive research, training, and specialist skills we have gained. Our new name represents a clear focus on quality workmanship, traditional methods, and a professional standard of roofing suited to both modern and heritage properties.
Mission
Our mission is to deliver high-quality roofing for all types of properties, while preserving traditional skills through specialist training in conservation roofing and leadwork. By bringing this level of craftsmanship to Scarborough, we ensure every roof — from historic buildings to modern homes — is repaired and maintained using appropriate materials, proven methods, and a professional standard of care.
Vision
Our vision is to raise the standard of roofing across Scarborough and the surrounding areas by combining traditional craftsmanship with modern professional standards. Through continued training, attention to detail, and a commitment to quality, we aim to provide roofing solutions that protect properties, respect their character, and stand the test of time.
