Expert Roof Slating & Tiling

Slate is a durable material that’s been used to build roofs for over 700 years. It comes in different varieties and offers an authentic and beautiful roofing solution, especially for traditional-style homes.

Roof tiles have been created with similar properties that make them almost as hardwearing and long-lasting as roofing slate. These tiles 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.

Both slate and tiles are popular options for roofing today and there are plenty of fantastic reasons why. If you are looking to replace roof tiles or slate, or have your whole roof re-tiled or slated by reliable and professional roofers, then Ericht Roofing is here to help

What are the benefits of slate roofing?

Slating is the process of using thin, flat pieces of stone or slate to cover a roof. It looks particularly at-home on traditional style buildings due to its antique and rustic look.

Slate is known for its durability and longevity, with many slate roofs lasting for over 100+ years. The main benefits or slate roofing include:

• Weather resistant: Slate is a natural stone that is resistant to water, wind, and fire, making it ideal for a country such as Scotland that has frequent harsh weather conditions.
• Low maintenance: Slate is resistant to rot and insects, making it a low-maintenance roofing option that keeps it attractive appearance without the need for regular upkeep.
• Durability: Did you know that slate roofs can last up to 150 years?! If you choose a slate roof, you can rest assured that your roof will stay in-tact for more than a lifetime.
• 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 offers a stunning finish that works perfectly with older buildings, rural cottages and traditional-style properties. Roofing slates are mainly grey in colour but are available in a variety of shades, textures and patterns, giving homeowners a degree of flexibility.
• Environmentally friendly: Natural slate creates the lowest environmental impact and carbon footprint of all roofing materials.

The advantages of roof tiles

Roof tiling also has many benefits and is a fantastic and very popular choice for modern housing. If you want a reliable and sturdy roof that looks great and offers excellent durability and longevity, roof tiling from Ericht Roofing could be perfect for your property.

Some of the benefits of choosing roof tiles are:

• Quick installation: Tile roofing is relatively easy to install and repair, making them a popular choice for both new construction and roofing repairs.
• Durable: Whilst not as durable as slate, roof tiles still offer excellent longevity and durability, with a tile roof easily lasting for 50 to 70 years.
• Energy efficiency. Clay and concrete tiles are highly porous and can absorb and release heat, helping to regulate the temperature inside a building. This means well-laid roof tiles can help to reduce energy costs and improve indoor comfort.
• Safety: Roof tiling is one of the most fire-resistant options that exist of all roofing materials.
• Customisable appearance: Roof tiles come in a wide range of designs and colours. We also offer several different fixing methods to suit any roof to make your roof just as stunning as it is sturdy.
• Versatile: Roof tiles can be made from a range of materials, including clay, concrete, and ceramic, and can easily be shaped to create a distinctive appearance for your particular property.
