Slate roofing produces one of the most beautiful roofs you will ever see. Very sleek lines that give a beautiful fine, sheer appearance, none of the thick bold edges that tiles or metal have to offer. The look a slate roof gives, is in a class of its own.
It can be very expensive to upkeep but you are in the expensive end of the market, although there are some options to reduce costs.
There are many options that slate have to offer that all other roof products don’t ie: soaker and mitre hips. This means no heavy duty capping just mitre the slate into each other. Close mitre ridge and valleys, same appearance that the soaker and mitre hips have. Winchester cuts, eyebrows and many more that enhance this style of roofing.
Southern Cross Roofing have expert tradesmen in this area. Its a dying art and there aren’t many of us left, so be it roof repairs or new roofs give us a call.
There is an awful lot of work that goes into producing a slate roof but once achieved its well worth the money invested.
