- FAQ
Slating Roofing FAQs
How long does a slate roof last?
Natural slate roofs can last over 100 years if installed and maintained properly. Man-made fibre-cement slate typically lasts 40 to 60 years.
Can you work on listed or historic buildings?
Yes. We have experience working on heritage properties and follow the correct methods and materials required for conservation-grade work.
What’s the difference between natural and man-made slate?
Natural slate is quarried stone with unique texture and durability. Man-made slate (usually fibre-cement) is more affordable and uniform in appearance but has a shorter lifespan.
Will a slate roof require extra structural support?
In some cases, yes. Slate is heavier than tiles or other materials. We’ll inspect your roof structure to ensure it’s suitable or advise on any reinforcements needed.
Do you offer guarantees on slate roof work?
Yes. All our full slate roof replacements come with a 20-year guarantee covering both materials and labour.
