Slate roofing is a durable material that’s been used to build roofs for over 700 years. It comes in three varieties – natural slate, artificial slate and zinc slate – and offers an authentic and beautiful roofing solution, especially for traditional-style homes with slate roofs in Oswestry

Nowadays roofing tiles have been created with similar properties that make them almost as hardwearing and long-lasting. These are produced from either concrete or clay, and are more suited to modern houses, as they’re available in an array of styles and colours. Many of the new builds around the Oswestry area have these type of roof tiles.

Both of these are popular options for roofing today. And there are plenty of fantastic reasons why:

Durability

Did you know that slate roofs can last up to 150 years, and a tile roof can do so for 50 to 70? This is impressive, considering the usual lifespan of a roof is 20 to 30 years.

Long-term value

This durability means that despite requiring a slightly larger initial investment, a slate or tile roof will always prove greater value in the long term.

Appearance

Slate is mainly grey in colour but available in a variety of shades, textures and patterns, while tile comes in a wide range of designs and colours. We also offer several different fixing methods for each, to suit any roof. That means yours will be as stunning as it is sturdy.

Protection for you and our environment

Not only is slate and tile roofing one of the most fire-resistant options that exists, but it also has environmental benefits. In fact, natural slate creates the lowest environmental impact and carbon footprint of all roofing materials.
