From under the earth to the top of your home, there is nothing more natural than a stone slate roof. Quarried, chiseled and then trimmed into various shapes and sizes, a slate roof will give your home a traditional feel and here at Rooftech we strive to ensure that is always the case. The breakability of slate makes it possible to split the stone into thin sheets and, even when broken, slate retains a natural appearance while remaining flat and easy to stack, making it ideal for roofing material.
Roof slates are a popular choice when it comes to deciding a material to use on a new pitched or a pre-existing roof. As well as being aesthetically pleasing slates are unaffected by frost damage and freezing in our colder months and are a hard-wearing durable material that provide waterproofing and characteristics to a pitched roof unlike any other material available.

Slate roofs have been traditional in Scotland since the middle of the 16th century, and we've even developed our own methodology for fixing them to cope best with the harsh Scottish winters. Traditional Scottish slates, mined in Scotland, are thicker and sturdier than those used south of the border, and came in random sizes. For this reason, they were usually nailed in 'diminishing courses': the smaller slates are used at the top of the roof, from the ridge, and larger ones deployed as the courses move down.

Tiled roofs are becoming more common across the UK with many older slate roofs being replaced with tiles. There are many different variants of tiles that you can choose from dependant on materials, size, colour and texture. The tiles can be made from either clay or concrete, each with their own benefits and restrictions. Clay tiles are the traditional type of tile and were previously made mostly by hand. With the advance of technology clay tiles are mainly machine made with a wide range of style and colours.
