SUPPLYING SLATE ROOFING TO MATCH THE STYLE OR AGE OF YOUR CURRENT ROOF.
One of our most popular roofing options is the installation of slate tile.
You would need to repair a slate roof when you observe any of the following signs of damage or wear. Slate is durable and long-lasting, but like all roofing, it can experience issues over time.
Broken, cracked, or missing slates
- Causes: Storm damage, falling debris, foot traffic on the roof, or natural aging.
- Impact: Damaged or missing slates allow water to penetrate, leading to leaks, dampness, and potential structural damage.
- Action: Replace damaged or missing slates promptly to maintain the roof's integrity.
Water leaks or damp patches
- Signs: Water stains, mold, or damp patches on ceilings and walls inside your home.
- Causes: Broken slates, deteriorated flashing, or slipped tiles create entry points for water.
- Action: Identify and repair the source of the leak to prevent further water damage.
Loose or slipped slates
- Signs: Roof slates that appear out of place or are no longer securely fixed.
- Causes: Corrosion of nails (nail sickness), weakening of the fixings, or wind damage.
- Action: Replace or refasten the slates to prevent further movement or loss.
Nail sickness
- What it is: The nails that hold the roof slate in place can corrode or deteriorate over time, causing slates to slip or fall.
- Signs: Slates moving out of position or "shaking" with the wind.
- Action: Replace the affected nails and slates. In severe cases, a re-roof may be required.
Damaged flashing
- Signs: Leaks or water ingress around chimneys, valleys, or roof junctions.
- Causes: Flashing (usually lead or metal) can crack, loosen, or deteriorate over time.
- Action: Repair or replace the flashing to maintain a watertight seal.
Rising energy bills
- Signs: A noticeable dip or sag in the roof structure.
- Causes: Water damage, rotting timbers, or inadequate structural support.
- Action: Consult a professional roofer to assess and repair the underlying structure.
Repair vs. Replacement
- Repair: When the issues are minor, such as a few missing slates or localized damage.
- Replace: When the roof shows widespread nail sickness, significant slate loss, or major structural issues.
Promptly addressing small issues can help extend the life of your slate roof and prevent costly damage later.
