Roof Slates

Natural slate is probably the best roofing material in the world and has been used by man for thousands of years. Not only will good quality slate outlast other roofing materials, but when fitted properly, it will frequently outlive the lifetime of its building. The lively market for second hand slates bears this out.

Slate retains its colour and although it may weather with age, it will not fade. It is also an environmentally sound product, as it is quarried from a natural source rather than manufactured using industrial processes. In addition, it is non combustible and is compatible with all other building materials. A slate roof is easily maintained, making it an economical choice, and it is available in a variety of sizes, colours and textures.
