Slate roofs can last a century if maintained and taken care of. However, this doesn’t mean that they are free of problems. Slate roofs are expensive and the installation procedure is time-consuming and labour intensive. Working with a professional slate roofing company helps you weigh the options and understand if it’s really worth the time, money, and effort to install a slate roof.

They are also heavy and you need to assess if the roof deck can carry and bear the weight of the slate roof. Weigh the options and understand if it’s really worth the time, money and effort to install a slate roof.

Maintaining and Repairing Slate Roofs

Over time, weathering can occur in slate roofs. This reduces its strength and leads to moisture absorption. Once weathered, your slate roof is susceptible to breakage and cracking. However, with proper maintenance, your slate roof can last 75 to 100 years. In such cases, contact our roofing specialists for a professional solution.

There are other factors too that can cause roof damage such as a fallen tree branch, which can crack the slate and cause a leak. In such cases, contact our roofing specialists for a professional solution.

One common method of leaking roof repairs is flashing. Flashings are metal sheaths placed around the chimney or in the ridges or the valleys of the roof. They are made of copper or galvanised steel. Copper can fade over time turning into patina and dark brown. They last a good number of years, but when they start to brown you must know that it is time to get them replaced.

It is important to repaint galvanised steel flashings to prevent rusting. They are economical but maintaining these can be similar to the copper flashings. Replace the flashings once they turn weak and old.

Steel nails or copper nails are also used as fasteners and they help extend the life of the slate roof. Be sure to inspect your roof at least once a year. This way, you can detect issues before they spiral and things go out of hand. Regular inspections and maintenance by our experts are highly recommended.
