Slate is an incredibly durable material that has been used as a roofing material for over 700 years. The first record of a slate roof is a Welsh home, in 1300, but archaeological evidence suggests it was in use long before that. 

Slate is a lovely material for roofing. Its looks great and will typically last for 125 years with only routine maintenance. Many slate roofs are over 200 years old, so slate is always a good investment. 

There are now three varieties of slate available for roofing; Natural, artificial and zinc, and each is a beautiful solution for roofing, especially if you have an older, more traditional style of property. 

Slate use peaked in around 1900, and since then, a large number of more modern tiling solutions have emerged and although not as durable or hard wearing, they have become very popular, not least because they are a little quicker to lay than traditional slate.

​These new tiles, made from clay or concrete, come in a large range of colours and finishes, and are perhaps more suited to modern properties, where they can be chosen to enhance the look of the home. 

​Whether you chose slate or tiles, both will give you a great roof that will last for decades.

• Slate's average lifespan of 125 years, and a tile's lifespan of 75 years mean they far outlast the lifespan of the average roof, at only 30 years. 
• Slate comes in grey, but is available in a wide range of textures, patterns and finishes. Tiles come in a vast number of shades and colours. There is definitely a slate or tile to perfectly match your home.
• Slate and tile are environmentally friendly. They are carbon friendly and low impact, plus their longevity means they don't need to be replaced, and can even be reused several times
• Slate and tiles are fireproof
• Slate is mould-proof and highly resistant to frost damage.
• Choosing slate or tile may cost you more as an initial investment, but that will be returned to you through longevity, easy maintenance and even increased value on your home

We love slate and tile. Its the ultimate roofing material. It looks great, its highly effective, and a good slate or tile roof will be around long after we are all gone. Whats not to love ?

Exceptional

We took a lot of advice from RMR regarding our best roof material. We went for slate in the end, after they checked the structure of our beams etc. The result is exceptional. We cannot fault their expertise or their workmanship
