Where We Cover Across Somerset
Slate Roofing: A Timeless Choice
Slate is a natural, metamorphic rock that has been used for roofing since ancient times. Its durability, fire resistance, and low maintenance requirements make it an ideal choice for homeowners in Fulford. Slate roofing is available in various sizes, including 500mm x 250mm, 600mm x 300mm, and 700mm x 350mm. The thickness of slate can vary from 4mm to 8mm, with the most common being 6mm.
Tile roofing is another popular option for homeowners in Fulford. Tiles are made from natural clay and are available in a range of styles, including plain, interlocking, and pantiles. They are generally more affordable than slate and offer a similar level of durability. Tiles are typically 265mm x 165mm in size, with a thickness of 10mm to 12mm.

Head Lap and General Practice
The head lap is the distance between the top of one slate or tile and the bottom of the one above it. The general practice is to use a head lap of 100mm to 150mm, depending on the pitch of the roof. Our team will work with you to determine the best head lap for your specific roofing needs.
Extra Half and Closed Valleys
In addition to slate and tile roofing, we also offer extra half and closed valleys. These are used to cover the valleys of the roof, where two slopes meet. Our team will work with you to determine the best option for your property.
API and Lap Length
The API (Aggregate Performance Index) is a measure of the performance of a roofing material. The lap length is the distance between the edge of one slate or tile and the edge of the one next to it. Our team will work with you to determine the best API and lap length for your specific roofing needs.
