Slate roofs are complex to install but well worth the effort. Popular in Maidstone and the surrounding areas, here are three advantages of slate roofing:
VIEW MOREFormed over millions of years by compressed layers of clay, slate is a natural material mined worldwide that’s consistently in high demand.
Once you have invested in a natural slate roof, you can be assured that it will last at least a century, such is the toughness and durability of the stone.
Energy-efficient and fire-resistant, slate is fantastic value for money when you consider that you will never have to replace it. This also reduces your carbon footprint, as no emissions have gone into producing a roof replacement.
A gorgeous choice for new roofing, slates are available in a range of subtle grey tones and add an elegant touch to any Maidstone property.
Naturally forming a flat surface, slate tiles can be attached to your roof with very little reshaping for an authentic, rough-hewn look. They can also be finely chiselled for a more uniform appearance.
Our roofing company provides a variety of roofing services alongside slate tiles, including flat roofing, roof repairs, new roof installations and leadwork.
With an exceptionally low water absorption rate, slate is one of the most weather-resistant materials on the UK market and requires little to no maintenance.
The inherent water-repellent property of slate makes it much less likely to foster organic growth such as algae, moss, mould and fungi.
Deceptively simple to attach, slate is only threatened by extreme weather, such as gale-force winds, and will usually last decades without a single repair needed. Give us a call today to find out more about our new flashing, leak detection, GRP fibreglass roofs and roof replacements.
