Slate Roofing: A Timeless Choice

Slate is a natural, metamorphic rock that has been used for roofing since ancient times. It is prized for its durability, fire resistance, and attractive appearance. Our slate roofing services in Asney offer a range of benefits, including:

  • Closed joints: Slate tiles are typically laid with closed joints, which means that they are butted up against each other, providing a watertight seal.
  • Quality and durability: Slate is an extremely durable material, with some roofs lasting for over 100 years.
  • Natural appearance: Slate has a unique, natural beauty that can enhance the appearance of any property.
    We offer a range of slate products, including:
  • Welsh slate: Known for its high quality and durability, Welsh slate is a popular choice for roofing in the UK.
  • Spanish slate: A cost-effective alternative to Welsh slate, Spanish slate is still a high-quality option for roofing.

Tile roofing is another popular option for properties in Asney. Our tile roofing services offer a range of benefits, including:

  • Affordability: Tile roofing is generally more affordable than slate roofing.
  • Variety of styles: There are many different types of tiles available, including clay, concrete, and metal.
  • Easy to install: Tiles are relatively easy to install, which can save time and money on labor costs.
    We offer a range of tile products, including:
  • Clay tiles: A popular choice for roofing in the UK, clay tiles are known for their durability and attractive appearance.
  • Concrete tiles: A cost-effective alternative to clay tiles, concrete tiles are still a high-quality option for roofing.

When choosing between slate and tiles for your roofing needs in Asney, there are several key considerations to keep in mind:

  • API rating: Look for tiles with a high API rating, which indicates their durability and weather resistance.
  • Lap length: The lap length of your tiles will depend on the pitch of your roof and the type of tile you choose.
  • Quantity and head lap: Make sure to calculate the correct quantity of tiles you need, taking into account the head lap and general practice of overlapping tiles.

At A1 Roofing Taunton, we follow best practice guidelines for slate and tile roofing, including:

  • Extra half lap: We use an extra half lap to ensure a watertight seal and prevent water ingress.
  • Including various details: We take into account various details, such as ventilation and insulation, to ensure a complete and effective roofing system.
