How We Set The Benchmark In Roofing And Tiling

At Mr Shingles, we have over 25 years providing clients with high-quality Welsh Penrhyn slate. Setting the benchmark for all natural roofing slates, Welsh Penrhyn slate was established over 400 years ago at one of the finest slate deposits in the world, Welsh Slate. Formed millions of years ago, Penrhyn Slate exists as one of the more durable minerals on the planet.
