WHY CHOOSE BLUE SLATE ROOFING FOR YOUR HOME

When it comes to installing a roof in your house, one thing that you will soon realise is that there are a variety of options for to you to consider. One of the most popular options is blue slate tiles. But, why is this? What makes it such an excellent choice for your home?

IT HAS A LONG LIFE

One main reason that people choose blue slate tiles for their roof is that they will last a long time. If you properly look after and maintain your roof, you can expect it to last for a few decades, maybe even a lifetime. We recommend that you carry out yearly checks on your roof by an expert company; this will make sure that everything is working as it should.

IT LOOKS GREAT

Another reason that you may want to choose slate roofing is that it looks great. Whilst you cannot see your roof when you are in your house, those outside can see it, which means that you will want it to look its best. Blue slate tiles look great. They are a classic design whilst not being outdated. Not only this, but if you do decide on blue slate roofing, then you can customise it to meet your needs and preferred style. There are plenty of options to consider.

You want to make sure that you, your family and your entire house is protected, which means that you should always try to choose the safest materials for your home. Blue slate tiles are designed to withstand high temperatures, and they are also fire-resistant. This means that you will have peace of mind that your home and all those inside it will be safe.

If you want to make sure that you take care of the planet around you, then blue slate tiles could be the perfect option for your roof. It does not increase your carbon footprint, and you do not need to replace it regularly, which means that you won’t be wasting materials.

It’s refreshing to meet a craftsman like Jack Wakefield. Not only is he highly experienced, he is extremely hard working and completely honest. He’s also the most competitive Collyweston roofer in the area by a big margin.

We engaged Jack in mid June in to strip and replace a large section of our Collyweston roof which was leaking and in a terrible state of repair. He has done a fantastic job, and quite honestly has been a pleasure to have with us over the past couple of months. As well as being on time and on budget (with no hidden extras) we always had the feeling that Jack had our best interests at heart. That’s a rare quality, particularly in the dark art of Collyweston roofing.

We wish Jack every success building his business, and cannot recommend him highly enough.

We were fortunate to secure your services to carry out the complete replacement of our Grade 2 listed Collyweston slate roof. The work was planned and carried out efficiently and skilfully with minimum disturbance in spite of challenging weather conditions that varied between 30 degree temperatures, torrential rain and high winds. As clients with professional design and craft skills we have appreciated your attention to detail, craftsmanship and formidable work ethic. Thank you for sensitively restoring our roof, it will surely stand the test of time and remain as a fine example of your work.

      Collyweston slates are laid in diminishing courses. This means that the slates get smaller with each course, with the smallest slates at the ridge line and the largest at eaves level.
