Frequently Asked Questions — Slate Roofing in Fife
How long does a slate roof last?
A properly installed natural slate roof can last well over 100 years. The slates themselves rarely fail — it is usually the fixings or the underfelt that needs attention after many decades.
Can you repair individual slates without replacing the whole roof?
Yes. In many cases a few individual slates can be repaired or replaced without disturbing the rest of the roof, which is far more cost-effective than a full re-roof.
What is the difference between natural and reconstituted slate?
Natural slate is quarried stone and is the traditional choice for Scottish homes. Reconstituted slate is manufactured from crushed slate and other materials — it is less expensive and still looks attractive, though natural slate remains the premium option.
