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, water resistance, and aesthetic appeal make it a popular choice among homeowners and builders in Northay. Slate roofing is available in various sizes, including 500mm x 250mm, 600mm x 300mm, and 700mm x 350mm. The thickness of slate can range from 4mm to 10mm, depending on the quality and intended use.
Tiles, on the other hand, are a more affordable and versatile option for roofing in Northay. They are available in a range of materials, including clay, concrete, and metal. Tiles are generally easier to install and maintain than slate, making them a popular choice for many homeowners. The size of tiles can vary, but common sizes include 265mm x 165mm and 420mm x 330mm.

Head Lap and API
When it comes to slate roofing, the head lap is a critical factor to consider. The head lap refers to the overlap between adjacent slates, and it's essential to ensure that it's sufficient to prevent water ingress. Our team of roofers is experienced in installing slate roofs with the correct head lap, ensuring that your roof is watertight and secure.
