Our Branches
Slate Roofing: A Natural and Durable Option
Slate is a natural, metamorphic rock that has been used for centuries as a roofing material. It is prized for its durability, fire resistance, and attractive appearance. Slate roofs can last for over 100 years, making them a cost-effective option in the long run. At A1 Roofing Taunton, we source our slates from reputable suppliers to ensure that they meet the highest standards of quality.
Roofing tiles are another popular option for homes in West Chinnock. They are available in a range of materials, including clay, concrete, and slate. Tiles are a versatile option that can be used on both pitched and flat roofs. They are also easy to install and maintain, making them a practical choice for homeowners.
The cost of slate and tiles can vary depending on the quality, quantity, and type of material used. At A1 Roofing Taunton, we offer competitive pricing per square metre, making it easy for homeowners to budget for their roofing project.
When it comes to installing slate and tiles, there are two main options: closed and open joints. Closed joints involve overlapping the slates or tiles to create a watertight seal, while open joints involve leaving a small gap between each slate or tile. Our experienced roofers will advise on the best option for your specific roofing project.

API and Lap Lengths
When installing slate and tiles, it's essential to get the lap lengths right. The lap length refers to the distance between each slate or tile, and it's critical to ensure that they are evenly spaced to prevent water ingress. Our experienced roofers will ensure that the lap lengths are correct, using the API ( Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association) guidelines as a reference point.

At A1 Roofing Taunton, we have been practicing our craft for many years, and we have developed a keen eye for detail. We will work with you to ensure that the quantity of slate and tiles required for your project is accurate, and that the installation is carried out to the highest standards.
Head Lap and General Practice
The head lap refers to the overlap between each slate or tile, and it's essential to get it right to prevent water ingress. Our experienced roofers will ensure that the head lap is correct, using general practice guidelines as a reference point.
Extra Half Lap
In some cases, an extra half lap may be required to ensure a watertight seal. Our experienced roofers will advise on whether an extra half lap is necessary for your specific roofing project.
