Existing roofing material removed (tile/slate etc.), which can be sorted and kept for reuse if appropriate
Old battens removed and discarded
New breathable felt is then laid over the roof joists
New tanalised battens fixed into place
The slates are then reinstated
All the leadwork is replaced
Finally, the ridge & hip tiles are re-secured as original
Your property will remain watertight throughout and there is as little disruption as possible

WHAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SLATE & TILE?

Slate is a durable material that has been used to cover roofs for over 700 years. It is available in three varieties, natural, artificial, and zinc. Slate offers a traditional and aesthetic roofing solution, suitable for all types of properties.

Roof tiles have been created with similar properties, making them hard-wearing and long-lasting. These are produced from either concrete or clay and are more suited to modern properties, as they are available in an array of styles and colours. Both are popular options, and there are plenty of reasons why:

Durability: slate roofs can last up to at least 150 years, and a tile roof can last up to between 50 and 70 years.

Value: Durability means that despite requiring a slightly larger initial investment, a slate or tile roof will prove greater value in the long term.

Appearance: Slate is mainly grey and available in various shades, textures, and patterns. Tile can come in a wide range of designs and colours.

COMMERCIAL ROOFING

Fylde Slate Roofing offers a high-quality, efficient and competitively-priced roofing service from the initial survey and consultation, right through to completion.

We understand that your building must remain operational during repairs and we endeavour to keep disruption to a minimum.

We offer a commercial roof replacement service and we also offer a refurbishment service that can be an effective approach to improving the aesthetics and solving issues such as leaks or weather damage.

WHY SHOULD I REPLACE MY ROOF?

Age of roof

We can conduct a roof survey and advise you of the condition and recommend a course of action.

ROOF VALLEYS

If your slates or tiles are falling apart or missing near the roof valleys, this is a clear sign that your roof is vulnerable.

MISSING TILES

If you notice that after a heavy rainfall or storm your roof is missing tiles, your roof needs repair.

DAYLIGHT THROUGH ROOF BAORDS

If you notice any moisture in the insulation or daylight coming through the roof board, this is always a bad sign.

INTERIOR WATER DAMAGE

If you notice stains on your interior ceilings or walls, this is a direct indication that your roofing system is damaged.
