It’s been absolutely hectic throughout the whole of March for us here at Supreme Roofing and Building. Roofing seems to be the thing that’s had us up at the crack of dawn and working until late each day!
Not that we’re complaining of course. We’ve been fortunate enough to have carried on working all the way through this bizzare pandemic. Roof repairs and essential maintenance are not put off by a virus!
So we’ve been working all over the Plymouth area and the areas surrounding. The three jobs below are a snapshot of some of the work we’ve completed and show a variety of roofing materials, including natural slate, that can be used to compliment your home.
Natural Slate
What are the Benefits of Natural Slate?
Similar to clay, natural slate offers a truly authentic look that cannot be replicated by manufacturers. For period projects, or properties that need to reflect the natural environment around them, natural slate is usually the preferred choice.
Its lifespan goes beyond both clay and concrete by some distance and has even been known to outlast the structure of the very buildings they have been placed upon.
Some listed buildings and properties in conservation areas will have restrictions that require natural slate to be used. If laid correctly, a natural slate roof will last the lifetime of the building. It is a sustainable roofing product and will enhance the natural beauty of your home.

Man-made Slates
What are the Benefits of Man-made Slate?
Made from a combination of ground down slate and synthetic resin, man-made slate offers another alternative to both natural slate and fibre cement slate.
The low cost of these tiles is the main advantage they offer, set at very affordable prices in comparison to the other types available. Similar to clay or concrete tiles, man-made slates are designed to last for up to 30 years in normal weather conditions.
When the cost-effectiveness of this type of slate is added into the equation, man-made slate becomes a very attractive option for many buyers.
