Slate Roofs in Tiverton — your questions answered
Natural or fibre-cement slate?
Natural slate offers authentic character and a very long life but costs more and is heavier. Fibre-cement slate is lighter and more affordable with a consistent appearance. We'll talk through which suits your property and budget.
What is nail sickness?
It's when the fixing nails corrode and fail over decades, causing slates to slip even though the slate itself may be sound. It's a common reason older slate roofs need re-covering, and re-fixing with modern fixings solves it.
Do slate roofs need much maintenance?
A well-installed slate roof is low maintenance, but occasional checks for slipped slates and clear gutters help it last. We offer inspections and maintenance if you'd like ongoing peace of mind.
