When it comes to installing a new roof or replacing an old one, choosing the right material is a big decision. The most common roofing types are tile, slate, and GRP (fibreglass) – each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Here’s how to decide which is best for your home.
Tile Roofing
Tiles are durable, affordable, and available in various styles and colours. They suit most homes, offer good weather resistance, and are easy to replace. However, they can be heavier than other options and may require structural consideration.
Slate Roofing
Slate is a natural material known for its elegance and longevity. It has a classic appearance and can last over 100 years if maintained well. It’s more expensive upfront but offers long-term value. Ideal for traditional or period homes.
GRP (Fibreglass) Roofing
Best suited for flat roofs, GRP offers a seamless, waterproof finish that’s highly resistant to UV and impact. It’s easy to maintain, modern in appearance, and installed quickly by professionals like our flat and fibreglass roofing experts.
Key Considerations
Think about your home’s style, the pitch of your roof, budget, and how long you plan to stay in the property. We can help you make the best choice.
