What makes slate roofs attractive is the aesthetic appeal. Precision and care are necessary to successfully install a slate roof such that it would enhance the overall beauty of a building’s design. There are several colours and textures of slate roof tiles that one can choose from to bring out any homes inherent charm. Slate shingles can also be shaped into different sizes and shapes according to a customer’s preference.

SLATE ROOF INSTALLATION – POLITE, FRIENDLY AND GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY

Installation is a specialist job, so make sure you choose a firm that’s experienced in slate roofing. Slate roofs can last literally hundreds of years. Slate is fireproof, waterproof and completely natural – in fact it’s super-heated and pressured ancient mud from river estuaries, dense and smooth. Poor quality slate – which is more like mudstone – can flake, crack and slip, leaving unprotected gaps for the weather to get in and making tiles vulnerable to more damage in icy weather. As with all roofs, a heavy slate roof requires a very firm and solid roof deck specially built for the purpose. And you need to think carefully about which nails you use. Not to worry – we know what’s what!
