Slate Roof Repairs & Re-Roofing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When it comes to having a roof over your head there is almost nothing quite as aesthetic or long-lasting as a new slate roof - and its totally natural. Installed correctly with copper nails, and using heritage quality slate, a new slate roof can be reasonably expected to last in excess of one hundred years.

Slate Roofs are hard and durable

Today we are still using slate as the Europeans have done for hundreds of years. The slate is split using a combination of hand splitting and semi-automated machines, ensuring consistent tolerances for thickness and quality.

Correctly installed by Vision Home Work's experienced and qualified tradesmen, a new slate roof will increase the value of the house in excess of the cost of installation. Re-roofing a faulty slate roof using salvaged good quality second-hand Welsh slate will prevent internal leaks and dampness and when correctly installed can last in excess of 40 years. And, like any investment, it needs to be well cared for.

Some questions you could ask regarding your own slate roof are:

• Are slates slipping? Is the bottom of each row of slates in a uniform line?

• Are any of the slates obviously broken, cracked or missing?

• If you have terracotta cappings on the roof is the concrete crumbling or missing?

• Is the metal in the valleys between roof faces, rusting out?

• Are there water stains on the ceiling above the chimney inside the house, or on other ceiling areas?
