Call: 07956 364536 Slate roof construction is one of the most cost effective roofing systems and a well constructed slate roof will last over 70 years, most of the slate roof constructions that we renewed are slate roofs on early 19 century properties and is there first roof replacement. Welsh roof slates are often considered the finest roof slate in the world and I would agree but like many thing of quality they are not cheap. A natural roof slate is far better than the man made roof slates and will keep the new roof look far longer as the colour of the slate will not fade in the sun. Eternit man made roof slates are often good were weight is a factor with the roof structure ie low pitch with long rafters that don't have purlin support to help spreed the roof load to load bearing walls. If welsh roofing slates are thought to be to expensive there are alternative natural roof slates which can offer a good compromise on cost, 2 good roof slate examples are spannish roof slates and chinnese roof slate these roofing slates are about 60% cheaper than the welsh slate. As well as slate roof renewals we also repair slate roofs which are becoming tired with nail fatigue which allows the roof slates to slide out these roof problems can be repaired for a time until it is not practical to repair the roof and a complete roof renewal is more practical, so if you need a roof overhaul, roof repair or a complete roof renewal call today for a FREE QUOTE. |
