FAQs about our slate roofing service
Our customers often ask for advice about our services, so we have put together a list of the most common questions:
Slate roofs are designed to last 100 years or more and when regularly inspected and properly maintained can easily reach this age. To reach this milestone, broken, cracked or missing slates should be replaced promptly by an experienced roofer to prevent serious damage.
Installed properly, slate roofs require little maintenance and will last 60 to 125 years or longer depending on the type of slate used, roof configuration and the geographical location of the property. Some slate roofs have been known to last over 200 years.
Slate is hard wearing and durable, but it can crack under pressure. That’s why professionals like Cooper & Son’s Roofing & Property Services Ltd use hook ladders, jacks and planks on slate roofing, allowing them to walk on the roof without putting any weight on it.
Costs will vary depending on several factors such as the size of your roof, the type of slate used, how accessible your roof is and the length of time it may take. While slate is initially more expensive, it can save you money in the long run as it is very hard wearing and durable. Contact us for a free site survey and quote now.
