Broken or missing slate replacement
If you have spotted a cracked slate on your roof, or are missing a tile completely, Machrie Roofing will help you find the ideal replacement that blends perfectly with the rest of the tiles on your roof.
When you have a roof made of a natural material such as slate, replacing roof slates can sometimes be a bit tricky. Natural materials can be difficult to replicate and finding the perfect colour and wear to match your existing roofing slate can be a challenge.
Luckily, at Machrie roofing we have a huge selection of different roofing slates and ridge tiles in our range from Spanish slate to concrete slate and more, and the expert eye of our installation team will quickly identify the perfect replacement tile for your property.
We specialise in maintaining the appearance of slate roofs of all ages, from modern buildings to period homes and are always almost able to find a slate that is indistinguishable from the original.
How to tell if you need roof repair or roof replacement
Slate Maintenance
When cared for properly roofing slates can remain in great condition for well over 50 years and roof slate has been known to perform for as long as 100 years in certain conditions.
The key to maximising the cost-effectiveness of your new roof and ensuring you won’t ever need to think about replacing it is ensuring it gets the proper maintenance and care over the years. Don’t worry, this requires very little effort on your part.
Machrie Roofing offers a full professional cleaning and maintenance service for slate roofs of all kinds keeping your roof tiles in great condition at all times.
Why choose slate roofing?
Energy Efficient
Roof slates are an excellent choice for the modern energy efficient home. The density of the material makes keeping your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer easier and more affordable than ever before.
Incredibly durable
Few roofing materials come close to the durability of slate with many slate roofs lasting upwards of 100 years.
Completely Customisable
With varying thickness, and almost unlimited colour options, slate looks just as great on a new build as it does on a period property.
Fire Resistant
Slate roofs are completely fire resistant, unlike other roofing options such as asphalt. Keeping your family safe is always your number one priority and a slate roof will help you do just that.
Environmentally Friendly
If you opt for a natural slate, you can rest easy knowing that there is very little impact on the environment involved in the manufacturing process. Cutting slate to size is pretty much all the processing involved in slate tile construction.
