Traditional Slating & Tiling

They are one of the oldest and most durable roofing materials, as they are waterproof, insect-proof, and fire-resistant. However, they are also one of the most expensive roofing products on the market, and they require skilled installation and maintenance.

The complete range of slating and tiling is undertaken by Pinnacle Roofing, whether it’s a slipped or broken slate/tile or strip and re-slate we can advise and conduct these services to meet your requirements.

Whether it is slate or tile to be laid the overall life expectancy of the roof would be vast in any case and providing there has been the proper periodic maintenance of such roofs they could be expected to last for quite literally a lifetime where premium materials have been used.

Dependent upon which materials have been used you would be provided with at least a 25-year guarantee on completion of complete renewal.
All lead, zinc, and cast materials incorporated on these types of roofs are also carried out by our in-house trades and subsequently guaranteed for the same period of time.

There are different types and colours of slate roofing shingles available, such as natural roof slate, Spanish slate tiles, Welsh slate products, Canadian slate products or Brazilian slate. Some of them come with long-term guarantees, such as Metrotile shingles with a 40-year weatherproof guarantee or Cembrit shingles with a 25-year product guarantee. You can also choose from different shapes and sizes of slate roofing shingles, such as square, hexagonal, or rectangular.

Slate roofing shingles can create a visually appealing and elegant look for your roof, but they also have some drawbacks, such as high cost, heavy weight, and fragility. You should consider your budget, climate, and architectural style before deciding whether slate roofing shingles are suitable for your project.
