Slate Roofs

Pitched roofs are considered a more traditional style of roof system and are beneficial in many ways.

Not only does the design and angle of the roof allow rainwater to easily run off which avoids pooling,

but they are durable and generally more weather resistant in comparison to flat roofs.

Natural Vs Manmade Slate


On a pitched roof, roofers can use Natural slate and Manmade Slate.

Natural Slate is a hard-wearing and reliable material that makes your roof look truly spectacular! It is long lasting option for your roof, giving your home a more stylish exterior that adds to the value of your property. 

Manmade Slate is a cheaper but just as effective option for your pitched roof. They are lightweight but still durable and look just as good at the natural slate!
Manmade slates are being used here to support a durable and smart looking finish
