Criticised --- as roof may be? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slated

This clue is a double definition.

'criticised' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'as roof may be?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for slated that I've seen before include "Gave a terrible review" , "Berated with roofing materials?" , "censured" , "as roofs may be?" , "Reprimanded - criticised" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
