Tile & Slate Roofing Cornwall
SlateWest have a wealth of experience building and maintaining Slate Roofs throughout Cornwall and the South West.
Slate Roofs
Slate roofing is made from natural stone, which is one of the longest-lasting roofing materials available. Its natural texture and varied colors create a distinctive, classic look. Slate is quarried and cut into thin, flat pieces, making it ideal for roofing. Known for its beauty and longevity, a well-maintained slate roof can last over a century.
Slate roofing is particularly valued in regions with harsh weather, such as Cornwall, as it’s resistant to rain, snow, and temperature fluctuations. While it’s one of the most expensive roofing materials available, its long life and minimal maintenance can make it a worthwhile investment.
Advantages of Slate Roofing:
- Lifespan of 75-150 years or more
- Highly resistant to water, fire, and temperature extremes
- Low maintenance after installation
- Naturally environmentally friendly since it is a natural stone product
- Traditionally, in-keeping with the character of many Cornish properties
