Traditional slate and tile roofing services

Cheltenham and the surrounding area is a mixture of housing types ranging from the very newest to some of great age. Many of the older properties make use of traditional roofing materials and this needs expert handling when it comes to replacement and repairs. Here at MT Roofing we can deal with traditional stone and tile roofs in addition to modern roofing styles.

Stone slate roofs

Stone and slate roofs have been in use around the country for many generations and looking after them can sometimes be easier than with modern roofing materials. These materials have a lifespan measures in decades and can easily last 100 years. It also means that dealing with repairs and replacements to this style of roof can be a little more complicated. The new materials need to match with the old plus stone and slate roofs don’t use the same method to install them as done with normal roof tiles.

So, if you have a property roofed with stone or slate, then you want to have a specialist on the job. We have worked across the area for the last thirty years so have worked on roofs of all styles. That way, you can be certain that the work done on your roof will restore it without spoiling the aesthetics.

Tile roofs

Tile is another traditional roofing material and there are different types of tiles around the UK. Here in the Cheltenham area, Cotswold stone tiles were often used and have become synonymous with the villages dotted around the area. The tiles are laid in diminishing courses and have a rich texture as well as a darker shade. They are also very durable with a long lifespan.
Unfortunately, as with any natural material, they can see mould and moss growth or can be broken during bad weather. MT Roofing are also qualified to deal with tile roofs of all descriptions and can give a free, no obligation quote for the work.
