FAQ's

The first thing to look for are slate tiles slipping out. This indicates that the nails holding the slate tiles are beginning to deteriorate and that your roof needs a slate repair/maintenance attention.

Just because you notice slipped slate roof tiles on your roof does not mean you slate roof needs replacing. It can be the case that a good slate repair will keep your slate roof in good condition for many years to come.

A good repair can keep your slate roof impervious to the elements for many years to come. It is the case though that when slate tiles begin slipping you are into the ‘maintenance’ phase of the life of your slate roof. This means that slate roof repairs specifically targeting refixing of slipped slate tiles will become a more and more frequent requirement. It is a good idea to get your roof checked every few years to keep things in tip top shape. The good news is that keeping up with this kind of maintenance can keep your roof in good condition for years if not decades to come.

A properly laid slate tile roof can last well over one hundred years if done correctly. At Ranger Roofing we only use copper clouts in the fixing of slate tiles to your roof whether it be a repair or a complete reroof.

Unfortunately other types of nails such as galvanized clouts are used instead which drastically reduce the lifetime of a slate tile roof. If a slate tile roof is subject to the normal wear and tear of the elements and has been fixed using copper clouts it is possible that slate slippage will not commonly occur for the duration of the life of the roof. However, if for example galvanized clouts have been used, slate tile slippage may well begin to occur much earlier, maybe somewhere as early as sixty years or so into the life of the roof.
