About Us
White Rose Slate Roofing is built on over 20 years of hands-on experience across the UK and Australia. Combining traditional slate and lead craftsmanship with modern roofing methods, every project is completed to the highest standard of workmanship and built to stand the test of time.
Founded by Darren, a skilled roofer with deep Yorkshire roots, the name White Rose pays homage to heritage, pride, and craftsmanship. That same spirit of tradition runs through every roof — from intricate lead detailing to full slate restorations and bespoke modern re-roofs.
With a background in the UK’s heritage roofing trade and decades of on-site experience in Australia, White Rose Slate Roofing brings technical precision, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for the craft. Based in Sydney and servicing Canberra, the South Coast, Southern Highlands, and beyond, the company is trusted for honesty, reliability, and the kind of workmanship that only comes from a lifetime dedicated to doing things properly.
Slate Roofs
Slate roofing is renowned for its elegance, strength, and longevity. With a lifespan of more than 100 years, slate is one of the most durable roofing materials available. Offered in a variety of colours and textures, it can be customised to suit both modern and heritage-style homes, making it a premium choice for Sydney homeowners seeking lasting quality and beauty.
Slate Roof Installation
Installing a slate roof on a new home or extension requires precision and traditional craftsmanship. We carefully prepare the roof deck and sarking before hand-laying each slate in overlapping rows. The result is a roof that is not only weather-resistant and durable, but also adds timeless character and value to your property.
Slate Roof Replacement
When your existing roof has reached the end of its life, a slate replacement is the ideal way to upgrade. Whether replacing an old slate roof or converting from tile or Colorbond, we deliver a roof that offers superior performance, longevity, and a refined finish. A replacement ensures your home is protected for generations while enhancing its overall value and street appeal.
Slate Roof Restorations
Restoration is about preserving the beauty and strength of your existing slate roof. This process may involve repairing damaged sections, replacing missing slates, renewing flashings, and reinforcing structural elements. A restoration not only extends the lifespan of your roof but also maintains its heritage charm and original character.
Slate Roof Repairs
Even the toughest slate roofs can suffer from the occasional crack, slipped slate, or leak. Timely repairs are crucial to prevent minor issues from becoming costly damage. From small fixes to larger repair jobs, we provide efficient, reliable service to keep your slate roof performing at its best year after year.
Cedar Shingles & Shakes
Cedar shingles offer excellent insulation, weather resistance, and develop a unique patina over time, adding character to your home. Whether you’re after a traditional look or a modern finish, we source only quality Western Red Cedar and install it with precision to ensure lasting protection.
Lead roofing
White Rose Slate Roofing provides expert lead roofing services, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques to deliver precision, durability, and lasting protection. Lead is one of the most versatile and weather-resistant materials, making it ideal for projects from heritage restorations to contemporary builds.
