Slate roofs are incredibly long-lasting, and can last from 75 to 100 years when properly cared for. While different slate tiles have different average lifespans, they are all long-lasting and low-maintenance roofing materials that will add significant value to your property.
You can increase the longevity of your slate roof by taking proper care of it, with regular maintenance and roof surveys, removing any moss or debris which can hold water, and replacing loose or broken slate tiles that compromise the integrity of your roof.
The best slate for your roof depends on the aesthetics you’re after for your property or building.
Having said that, we regularly work with premium-grade Welsh Slate which is regarded worldwide as the finest slate and one of the longest-lasting, with an average lifespan of 100 years.
When you’re looking for a new slate roof, we work with you to find a slate that you like, and that suits your property. Or, if you’re looking for slate roof repair, we ensure any new tiles match your existing slate seamlessly.
In our eyes, yes. If you can afford it. Slate roofs are durable, impervious to water, and one of the most highly regarded and popular roofing materials in Oxfordshire and around the world! A slate roof is often the last roof you will ever need to buy, and when it is damaged, you only need to replace the damaged slate tiles instead of the whole roof.
However, slate is one of the most expensive roofing options. While a slate roof does add significant value to your house, it requires you to have the capital in the first place.
