What is Tiled Roofing? 

Tiled roofing is a type of material and method which involves a pattern technique by overlapping individual tiles to cover a roof’s surface. There are various different materials available for tiled roofs including clay, concrete, slate, metal, wood, composite and cement fibre. We have installed a large amount of tiled roofs on properties and churches. How long does tiled roofing take to install? Depending on the size of the roof, it can take from 4 days to weeks. 

Pros of Tiled Roofing: 

Durability 
Tiled roofs are known for their exceptional durability and longevity. Well installed and maintained tiles can last up to 50+ years. 

Aesthetics 
Tiles come in a variety of colours, shapes, sizes and styles, allowing you to create a modern look or remain a traditional look.

Fire Resistant
Various tile materials are non-combustible materials, making tiled roofs highly fire-resistant. They also have great heat resistance and can withstand all temperatures. 

Low Maintenance 
Tiled roofing requires minimal maintenance. It is always recommended to get regular inspections and cleaning, however in general if a tile needs repairing it is a very straightforward job which does not affect the whole roof.

Cons of Tiled Roofing: 

Weight
Generally tiles are quite heavy, this means that the structure of your house may need further structural support to accommodate the weight. 

Cost 
Cost is variable depending on the chosen material and size of your roof, however don’t worry because Home Counties Roofers provides affordable tiled roof solutions at an exceptional standard suited to your budget!

What is slated roofing?

Slate refers to a roofing system that uses natural, sedimentary rock. This type of material is known specifically for its durability, longevity and aesthetic appeal.  It is made from metamorphic rock called slate, which is split into layers to create individual shingles or tiles. This is a highly popular choice for both commercial and residential properties due to its many advantages. 

Pros of Slated Roofing:

Longevity
This material is one of the most durable roofing materials available. A well maintained and installed slated roof can last for over a century. 

Low Maintenance
Slated roofs require minimal maintenance compared to other roofing materials. Highly resistant to rotting, mould and they do not require regular sealing or coating. 

Fire Resistant 
Slate is a non-combustible material, making it highly resistant to fire. 

Environmentally Friendly
Slate is natural material which can be recycled or reused, making it an eco-friendly roofing solution. Not only, its long lifespan also reduces the need for frequent roof replacements, which can be resource intensive. 

Pros of Slated Roofing:

Complex Installation
Installing a slate roof requires significant experience due to the precision needed for proper installation. Inexperienced installers can lead to problems with water penetration and roof integrity. Fortunately, Home Counties Roofers are highly experienced roofers in maidenhead. Count on us!

Weight
Due to slate being slightly heavier than other roofing materials, reinforcements to your roof may be required for roof framing.
