At A1 Roofing Taunton, we understand the importance of selecting the right roofing materials for your property in Crickham. Two of the most popular and enduring options are slate and tiles, both of which offer unique benefits and characteristics.
Where We Cover Across Somerset
Slate Roofing: A Natural Choice
Slate is a natural, metamorphic rock that has been used for roofing for centuries. Its durability, resistance to weathering, and attractive appearance make it a popular choice for homeowners in Crickham. Slate tiles are available in a range of sizes, including 500x250mm, 600x300mm, and 700x350mm, to suit various roof designs and pitches.
Roofing tiles, on the other hand, offer a more affordable and versatile alternative to slate. Available in a range of materials, including clay, concrete, and metal, tiles can be used to create a variety of roof styles and designs. From traditional to modern, tiles can be used to create a unique and attractive roof that complements your property's architecture.

API and Head Lap: A Key Consideration
The API (Average Pitch Interval) and head lap are also important considerations when installing slate and tile roofs. The API refers to the distance between the centers of adjacent tiles, while the head lap refers to the overlap between the head of one tile and the tail of the next. At A1 Roofing Taunton, we recommend an API of 100mm and a head lap of 50mm, to ensure a secure and watertight seal.
Practice and Extra Care
At A1 Roofing Taunton, we pride ourselves on our attention to detail and commitment to quality. When installing slate and tile roofs, we take extra care to ensure that each tile is properly aligned, secured, and sealed, to prevent water ingress and ensure a long-lasting roof.
Half Lap and Quantity: A General Guide
When it comes to slate and tile roofing, the half lap is an important consideration. The half lap refers to the overlap between adjacent tiles, and is typically half the width of the tile. At A1 Roofing Taunton, we recommend a half lap of 50mm for slate tiles and 37.5mm for concrete tiles, to ensure a secure and watertight seal.
