Reclaimed Slate Roof Tiles Buyer's Checklist Brighton 2026
Every Brighton buyer needs a consistent inspection process for slate tiles. This 2026 checklist covers what to check, questions to ask the seller, and how to protect a payment.
Before you go
- Ring ahead — confirm the slate tiles is still on the yard
- Ask for photos of the exact stock
- Confirm price per unit and total
- Route-plan to the Brighton yard, factor in weight for return trip
On the yard
- Welsh Penrhyn, Ffestiniog and Burlington all sourced regularly
- 100+ year track record on original roofs
- Colour and thickness match critical for listed work
Payment protection
- Prefer card over cash for larger buys
- Get an invoice with VAT number where applicable
- Photograph loaded vehicle before leaving
- Keep receipts against manufacturer warranty (surplus)
Collection and delivery inside Brighton
Most Brighton sellers hold stock inside BN1, BN2 and BN3 and offer South Coast same-day £95–£150. For loads over a tonne of slate tiles, a hiab drop is usually more economical than multiple van runs.

Diminishing courses are traditional — mixing sizes is often historically correct.
