This is why Roofslates.com will not cover or guarantee against colour change or fading of any slate.
Normal wastage in Transport of any slates New or Reclaimed is approximately 2% to 3%.
Normal wastage to get the Slates up to Roof Level is approximately 2%.
Sorting and Grading:
Before the Roofer / Purchaser receives the slates they will have been sorted and graded:
Reclaimed Slates are bought from demolition sites / refurbishment projects etc. Once purchased they are sorted and graded either on site or back at our premises.
Sorted Slates: Broken and unusable slates discarded, and then all usable slates are crated / palletised and counted ready for sale and transport.
Once the sorting process has been completed we then move on to the grading of the slates:
Grading of Slates: i.e. we ensure that each job / batch of slates are kept together so that the end user receives the slates from the same job / batch. This is so that the slates in each crate / pallet are as similar to each other as possible.
The Roofers: sorting and grading is a completely different process which involves sorting thickness, coursing, re-holing and dressing ready for fixing to the roof.
The waste created by the roofer's sorting and grading process should be calculated into the quantity of slates ordered. This can vary greatly due to the type and complexity of the roofing project, and can be especially high and difficult to predict when using Random Sized Slates.
When we supply random sized slates, we can calculate an approximate m² coverage per crate, from the variation in the sizes and number of slates.
You should also take into account that when the roofer's dressing and coursing of the slates in preparation for fixing is complete, the purchased m² may be insufficient to cover the area required. Therefore, additional slates may need to be purchased.
You may have to make a random sized slate smaller, which can still be used on the roof, but will reduce how much your purchased m² will cover, and increase your wastage %.

Excellent service, quick delivery and best price I could find - I cannot recommend this company enough. I will be using them for all my large roofing projects in the future. They beat all the local suppliers by a considerable margin.

Came here to buy 160, was told we couldn't look through the slate and to expect some breakages, corners missing ect. It's to be expected, not every slate will he perfect but just under 100 of the 160 was unusable, brittle, had hair line cracks, just not good quality slate like what we was told on the yard. The yard is tidy and the lads were helpful and chatty but unfortunately the tiles was poor quality.

Had a couple of extensions that needed some matching slate first class service and good price. Reclaimed slates can always be a bit hit and miss but the ones we have had from Roof Slates have been really good. the guys in the yard are alweays helpful as well, could be because they are the owners I think.
