Tiles, on the other hand, are a more affordable option that can mimic the appearance of slate. They are available in various styles, including clay, concrete, and metal. Tiles are also durable and can last for 20-30 years or more, depending on the quality and maintenance. We offer a range of tile options, including those with a slate-like appearance, to suit different budgets and preferences.

When choosing between slate and tiles, there are several key considerations to keep in mind. These include:

• Quantity and quality: The quantity and quality of the slate or tiles will affect the overall cost and durability of the roof.
• Lap and head: The lap (the distance between the slates or tiles) and head (the distance between the slates or tiles at the ridge) will affect the appearance and weather-tightness of the roof.
• Practice and API: We follow best practice guidelines and API ( Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association) recommendations to ensure that our slate and tile roofs are installed correctly and meet the highest standards of quality.
• Extra half: We always include an extra half slate or tile to allow for cutting and waste, ensuring that the roof is completed to a high standard.
