Hi all,
just wondering if any members on here are roofers, or have had a roof replaced recently. I'm currently planning to re roof the house and could do with some opinions. The natural slate currently on there (12" x 24" slates) is delaminating badly and starting to come apart. The house was built in about 1925/6. My options at present are;
1. Re claimed Bangor Blues
2. Natural Spanish slate
3. Fibre slate
Any thoughts? I'll need to replace about 75% of the roof (1200 slates) as the rear of the house was only built in the '80s. It's a steep pitch and the house is exposed to the south and west so I need something tough. I'm hoping 99% of the timber work is ok so I'm hoping to just install felt or membrane and re batten before slating. I'm going to do a run about the builders providers after work to get some samples.
regards,
Dave
