Choosing the right slate for your roof is an important choice and should not be taken lightly. In addition to the size, thickness and type of slate, you should take into account the construction method, the building and its surroundings.
New Builds
New builds can often be designed in any manner you want, but they may have to take into account any local styles and materials. This is particularly important when new builds are close to existing structures.
Renovation and Repairs
Renovating or repairing a property may require a few slates to fix a roof, or a complete replacement. It is crucial to check the status of a building before commencing work, as buildings which are listed must use methods and materials which are as close to those originally used as possible. There are some cases where alternatives can be used, but this would only be after consideration from a conservation officer.
Extensions
Roofing considerations for extensions are important from the very start, as they complete the whole plan which will get put forward for planning. Similarly to the points above, it is important to find out the limitations and restriction on the material usage in your area.
It is always important to find out the limitations for your roofing installation as early as possible to avoid disappointment. Being experts in the field, we can help you get the right slate for your project and let you adhere to the rules and regulations, so get in touch with us here at JRC for advice on our range of British and Spanish slates.
