WHY ARE SLATE & TILED ROOFS EFFICIENT?
Pitched roofs are very common in Edinburgh and the Lothians, many of which were clad in natural slate or tiles several decades ago. This is a testament to the outstanding longevity slate and tiled roof cladding can provide. Inverleith Roofing and Building understands that undertaking a roof refurbishment is a significant investment for our clients; for this reason, our skilled tradesmen ensure we use high-quality materials in accordance with the latest technical standards. We always work closely with clients to minimise disruption and complete work in a clean and tidy manner as soon as practically possible.
ROOFING TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS
We are experienced in working with various types of slate, including Scotch, Welsh, Burlington, Spanish and Westmorland Green. We have undertaken many refurbishments on listed and conservation buildings where we salvaged the majority of the existing slates and re-slated the roof in traditional diminishing courses.
​
Tiling your roof can offer a cost-effective approach to refurbishing your roof while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing finish to the property. We work with various types of tiles, including concrete and clay, which are carefully installed in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines. Speak with our professional team today.
