Slating, Tiling and Repairs
When it comes to tiling, whether using new or pre-used slates or tiles, I meticulously grade all materials to ensure top-notch quality and durability. With a wide variety of sizes, colours, and styles available, making the right choice can be overwhelming. That's why I've provided a helpful introduction to different options below to assist in your important re-roofing decision.
Tiles offer durability, performance, and timeless charm for roofs. With a wide range of clay and cement options available, they provide a cost-effective, reliable, and flexible roofing material. Tiles enhance any building's aesthetics, adding value and peace of mind. They are a preferred choice for planners and conservation officers aiming to preserve the character of historic buildings.
Natural slate, individually quarried and expertly graded, offers a distinctive, beautiful appearance with its unique textures and thickness. Our careful selection and placement ensure a stunning roof, as some slates fit better in specific areas. Natural slate's qualities lead to lower maintenance costs and less frequent re-roofing, with some installations lasting over 100 years.
Manmade slate, like fiber cement slates, offers ease of cutting and installation compared to natural slate. They are lightweight and uniform in size, simplifying the installation process. Whether for contemporary
or period properties, manmade slate adds character and works seamlessly with roof window products, including Velux.
