Skillbuild - Northern Ireland 

Roof Slaters and Tilers create a waterproof covering for a building by applying individual natural and man made slates or tiles to a basic timber framework - like the roofs of houses or commercial buildings or shops.

Roof Slating and Tiling offers a unique opportunity to develop a practical career in a highly skilled sector within the Construction Industry.  Roof Slating and Tiling requires enthusiasm, good hand to eye co-ordination and a high level of commitment to ensure quality of workmanship.  Attention to detail is also important as is the ability to read and interpret drawings and plans and calculate amounts of materials required.

Roof Slating and Tiling NVQ’s can be undertaken at both NVQ level 2 and level 3 and in Northern Ireland this is undertaken by way of an Employer Led Modern Apprenticeship.
