Slate Roofing
Unlike many roofing materials, slate tiles are completely fireproof. Weather resistance is another reason slate roofs are worth the investment. They are waterproof as well as resistant to severe weather and perfect for colder climates. Slate roofs can withstand high winds, heavy snow, and rain.
What the Service Is
Slate roofing uses overlapping slates to form a pitched roof covering. Tradeall Roofing & Building offers slate roofing services in Southampton, with material selection and the scope of work tailored to the property.
Problems It Solves
Slate roofing repairs or replacement can address slipped, missing or broken slates and deterioration affecting the covering. Inspection helps establish whether the problem is isolated or more widespread.
How Tradeall Performs It
We inspect the slates, fixings and accessible supporting components. We discuss suitable replacement materials and the agreed scope before work begins. Installation or repairs include attention to adjoining roof details and the appearance of the finished covering.
Frequently Asked Question
Can damaged slates be replaced individually?
Individual slates can often be replaced when damage is limited and the surrounding roof remains in serviceable condition. Matching the existing size, thickness and appearance helps maintain a consistent finish. If slates are repeatedly slipping or breaking, the fixings and underlying roof components should also be checked.
