Slate and Tiles in Listock: A Comprehensive Guide
At A1 Roofing Taunton, we understand the importance of using high-quality roofing materials for your property in Listock. Two popular options for roofing in the UK are slate and tiles. In this article, we will discuss the benefits and characteristics of slate and tiles, helping you make an informed decision for your roofing needs.
Our Branches
Slate Roofing
Slate is a natural, metamorphic rock that has been used for roofing for centuries. It is a popular choice for roofing in the UK due to its durability, fire resistance, and aesthetic appeal. Slate roofing is available in various sizes, including 500mm x 250mm, 600mm x 300mm, and 700mm x 350mm.
- Natural, non-porous, and resistant to weathering
- Can last for 50-100 years or more with proper maintenance
- Fire-resistant and non-combustible
- Available in various sizes and thicknesses
- Can be used for both pitched and flat roofs
Tiles are another popular option for roofing in Listock. They are available in various materials, including clay, concrete, and slate. Tiles are a cost-effective alternative to slate and offer a range of benefits, including:
- Durable and long-lasting, with a lifespan of 30-50 years or more
- Resistant to weathering, including wind, rain, and sun exposure
- Available in various sizes, including 265mm x 165mm and 300mm x 225mm
- Can be used for both pitched and flat roofs
When installing slate or tile roofing, it's essential to consider the lap and head lap. The lap refers to the overlap between adjacent slates or tiles, while the head lap refers to the overlap between rows. A general rule of thumb is to use a lap of 100mm and a head lap of 150mm.

Quantity and Practice
When calculating the quantity of slate or tiles needed for your roof, it's essential to consider the size of the roof, the pitch, and the overlap. A good practice is to add 10-15% to the total quantity to account for cuts and waste.
Extra Half
When installing slate or tile roofing, it's essential to consider the extra half. The extra half refers to the additional slate or tile needed to cover the ridge and hips of the roof.
