Slate Roofing in Bracknell FAQs

What is the lifespan of a slate roof?

A slate roof is known for its longevity and can last over 100 years with proper maintenance and installation. Its durability makes it an excellent long-term roofing investment.

Can slate roofs be repaired or do they need to be completely replaced when damaged?

Slate roofs can often be repaired without the need for a complete replacement. Damaged or broken slates can be replaced individually, which is why it’s important to have extra slates from the original batch for colour matching.

Are there different types of slate used in roofing?

Yes, there are various types of slate, each with unique characteristics. These include natural slates, which come in different colours and grades, and synthetic slates, which are manufactured from recycled materials.

Is slate roofing environmentally friendly?

Slate is a natural, sustainable roofing material with a low environmental impact. Its durability means it doesn’t need to be replaced often, reducing waste. Additionally, at the end of its life, slate can be recycled.

How does the weight of slate roofing compare to other materials?

Slate is a heavy roofing material, and its weight is significantly more than that of asphalt shingles or metal roofing. It’s important to ensure that the structure of the building can support the weight of a slate roof.

What maintenance is required for a slate roof?

Slate roofs require minimal maintenance, but regular inspections are recommended to identify and repair any damaged slates to prevent leaks. It’s also important to keep gutters clean and to trim any overhanging tree branches that could damage the roof. For any maintenance or inspection services, please contact us.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ross and his colleague did an excellent job of replacing the lead flashing for my garage roof and cleaned the lead flashing under the two front bedroom windows. Ross also removed, re-bedded and repointed the garage roof ridge tiles which were coming loose. Very pleased indeed with the work and certainly would have no hesitation to use RM Roofing again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ross did a great job of replacing the lead flashing at the front of my house. Responded to all messages in a timely manner and also turned up when he said he would. Didn’t leave until all job was complete and took the old lead away for disposal.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After our ceiling collapsed during a storm, we asked Ross to come in and fix our roof. He found that the builders who did our dormer conversion had damaged our roof membrane and just left it like that. Fortunately Ross managed to get everything fixed in just a few days one the scaffolding went up.
He even had a plasterer come in to fix the ceiling.
Our neighbour - who is a tradesman himself - was so impressed with the job that he wanted Ross to do some work for him as well.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ross recently did some work on our garage, replacing the roof and rendering the outside and replaced two windows - it has made a huge difference and couldn’t  be more pleased with the work. We were super impressed with how quickly and efficiently the work was carried out. The site was cleared of all rubbish. We would hesitate to recommend Ross and indeed he has come back since and done some further work for us installing bird proofing on solar panels. Very happy customers 😊

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. RM Roofing are excellent. I had a few slipped slates causing water ingress into the property. Ross not only fixed it for a great price, but also went above and beyond making himself available over a weekend to get it done before rain was due. Will definitely use RM Roofing again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ross responded to our call quickly and came round within a couple of days to give us a quote on the spot for repairing where concrete had fallen out of our verge. I was worried the job would cost a fortune after a previous quote which had suggested it would take a full day, with the need for scaffolding, as the end tiles needed to be lifted to get the job done. But Ross was able to complete the job the next week, for a reasonable price, single handed from a ladder with no problem at all and in only a few hours. I would certainly recommend Ross at RM Roofing and we will be using his services again in the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I employed Ross to strip the concrete tiled roof on my lean-to kitchen and replace with slate to match the rest of the house, with two new Velux roof windows. This involved removal of existing tiles, felt, battens and flashing, replacement of some decayed timber with some changes to accomodate the new windows.
New slates, windows and lead flashing with new battens and membrane, were installed to a high standard with the finished job looking very smart and neat with general making good of brickwork with lime mortar to maintain the integrity of the building. I am very pleased with the execution, the results, the tidyness of the site on completion and the price.
