  • What type of slate/tile should I choose?
  • The type of roof coverings available to you may be restricted to your site and the roof design, but we will happily propose a number of alternatives for you to consider, one of which may simply be to repair the current roof you have.
  • Do concrete tiles fade?
  • Yes, the color of your concrete tiles will fade and weather over time. This coating is purely decorative, and plays no role in any protective or waterproofing function. Over several years, the color coating of your tiles may take on a more subdued, matt appearance because of the effects of air pollution and powerful UV rays from the sun. This change in appearance has no effect on the tiles performance or its structural adequacy.
  • Do concrete roof tiles become porous as they age?
  • Concrete roof tiles like all concrete products become stronger and less porous over time, provided they were manufactured to the appropriate Standard.
  • Does lichen growth affect the durability of roof tiles?
  • In some climates, moss and lichen can grow on your tiles. They will not affect your tiles in any way, and can add character to your roof. However, if you prefer the clean lines of your tiles, both moss and lichen can be easily removed with high pressure water jet cleaning or by using other commercially available cleaning products. (Always consider the environment when using chemical products) 
  • What are the white marks on my roof? How can they be removed?
  • Occasionally, the natural salts within a concrete tile can migrate to the surface as a whitish grey discoloration called efflorescence or 'bloom'. This has no effect on the performance of the tile. Although common to many concrete products, efflorescence does not always occur and should disappear naturally over time.
  • Do tiled roofs require ongoing maintenance?
  • There is no such thing as no maintenance when it comes to roofs. Although your roof tiles are structurally guaranteed to perform their function for 50 years, there are still some things to look out for when it comes to caring for and maintaining your roof. The number one maintenance issue is cleaning the gutters, downpipes and valleys of your roof. Gutters, downpipes and valleys can become easily built up with debris such as leaves and twigs from trees. When gutters, downpipes and valleys become blocked, you get a buildup of water that overflows back into your roof, which can create an enormous amount of water damage. This kind of buildup also represents a potential fire hazard, as dry leaves and twigs are extremely combustible. This is easily preventable by a regular check to make sure your gutters, downpipes and valleys are free of debris. You should try to check and clean your roof at least once a year, twice if you live in a particularly tree lined area.

    By regularly maintaining your roof you will go a long way to preventing any major problems occurring.
