Slate Roofs

Slate has remained a popular option over the centuries with good reason. It is a material which remains the finest choice for roofing, despite the introduction of alternative modern technologies to the market.

Firstly, and perhaps most importantly, it is entirely impermeable to water. When installed to a high standard by our talented roofers, you can rest assured that your home will be protected from even the heaviest of rain. With proper maintenance, this protection will persist for decades to come.

Secondly, it looks incredible when installed correctly, and its appearance changes depending on the source providing a fantastic opportunity for customisation. Our specialists will work with you to find a slate product with the character and colour to achieve a look tailor-fit for you.

We can even source reclaimed tiles; slate removed from buildings where the tiles have been removed due to the risk of imminent collapse. These tiles help to provide a more traditional and ‘rustic’ look compared to modern machine-cut slate.

Furthermore, slate is incredibly robust. It is very resistant to harsh temperature changes which can cause severe damage to other materials. This will reduce the chance of cracks and other faults which will leave your property vulnerable to water ingression.

As mentioned, the longevity of slate is incredible and can make it an incredibly cost-effective investment. However, the material is not impervious to damage, and the occasional fix and repair are required to extend its lifespan and keep it in peak condition.

Our roofers are happy to carry out an inspection of your slate roof and look for both existing problems as well as things that could become an issue in the future.

We can then take measures to patch up the roof and address any problems. Not only does this mean that your property will benefit from comprehensive and effective protection, but it means you will get the absolute maximum out of your investment.

There is no getting away from the fact that slate is a premium product – even cheaper slates are a significant investment. In order to guarantee that the money spent on the raw materials pays for itself, you need to make sure they are installed to an appropriate standard.

With over thirty years of experience and a fantastic roofing team, you can depend on us to utilise appropriate tools, techniques, and expertise to achieve the perfect finish.

By employing the professional and reliable services of Primrose, you can expect your roof to last anywhere from 75-100 years with proper care and attention. As a result, it is an investment you can be sure you will only have to make once.
