Slate Re-Roofing

Slate is a natural choice for roofing given its unique properties and aesthetic looks. This material is durable and can have an expected lifespan of around 75 years. Compared to its artificial counterparts such as concrete tiles slate will stand the test of time.

Tiles Re-Roofing

Tiles are manufactured as a replacement to slate and were created as a cheaper alternative to using slate on your roof. The range is expansive including clay and concrete as an option with tiles and fittings readily available to purchase. You will find a complete range of tile types including interlocking and double lap tiles available from several suppliers the cost varies from tile to tile and brand to brand.

Some of our preferred suppliers are Marley Russel, Sandtotft, and Reland to name a few. Furthermore, these tiles are mainly machine made and concrete tile manufacturers have developed over the years to include various colours and finishes which can imitate the appearance of slate and other traditional roof coverings.

Reclaimed Tiles

Available from reclamation yards are traditional reclaimed tiles these tend to be handcrafted like pantiles or french gaeilics. These are popular around the York area and we have direct access to a wide range of reclaimed tiles from The Reclaimed Company.

Roof Maintenance 

Looking after a roof is big responsibility you can expect a tiled roof to lastup too 50 years and require little regular maintenance if installed correctly. If you have a slate roof you can expect it to last you around 70-75 years on average and like tiled roofs require little to no maintenance if correctly installed.

Having worked with lead for many years we are well versed in what the best lead will be for your job there are many factors when dealing with lead work and roofing British and European Standards (BS EN 12588:2006) specifies thickness tolerances and chemical composition required to produce a consistent micro-structure. The minimal variance in thickness means when you fit lead sheet to a roof, the extent of thermal movement can be accurately predicted and the correct fixing method adopted. This is particularly relevant when considering thermal movement and appropriate design and fixing methods, and gives you peace of mind that the job will be weathertight and not subject to cracking due.
