Professional Slate Roofing Experts
Mr Shingles provides specialist natural slate and timber shingle roofing across Sydney’s Inner West, with a focus on new-build, re-roofing, heritage restoration and architectural projects. Repairs are limited to select repeat clients or suitable heritage work after assessment.
Used and manufactured in Britain since Roman times, slate is known worldwide as one of the highest quality, longest-lasting materials used in roofing, which speaks to its importance for heritage property owners. The material has the ability to withstand extreme weather and climate conditions, making it highly durable with exceptional durability for decades.
Its longevity and timeless beauty deliver strong aesthetic appeal, which is why heritage roofing specialists continue to use slate to help preserve roofs for generations. This is apparent in the many heritage buildings that dot Sydney’s Inner West.

Welsh Penrhyn slate is one of the premium natural slate options available for suitable heritage and architectural roofing projects. Mr Shingles can also advise on Spanish slate, Canadian Glendyne and other slate options based on the project requirements.
A properly installed slate roof can last 100+ years, making it a true long-term investment. It handles temperature extremes, resists pollutants, is fire resistant, and keeps its aesthetic appeal for decades.
If you’re considering man-made slate as a cheaper alternative to natural slate, it’s worth checking whether it suits your property and roofing requirements. Mr Shingles has installed slate roofing across Sydney’s Inner West, including Haberfield, Balmain and Ashfield, for both homes and businesses, and can recommend options that match your budget, insulation needs, and coverage requirements.
Because many roofers have limited slate experience, always ask about their track record, request references, and do a quick Google check before hiring. This helps ensure your roof is installed correctly and performs as expected.
The cost of slate roofing is its biggest drawback. Slate roofing roughly costs five times more than conventional roofing materials. But when you consider that slate will last five times as long when installed properly, with the proper maintenance, the big initial investment doesn’t seem like a drawback at all.
For complex new slate roofs, suitable re-roofing projects and heritage restoration work in the Inner West, Mr Shingles brings specialist slate roofing experience and detailed workmanship. Related roofing details such as flashings, valleys, copper detailing and skylights can be discussed where they form part of the slate or shingle roofing project.
