Maintenance Tips for Slate Roofs


Proper maintenance is key to extending the life of your slate roof. Follow these tips to keep your roof in optimal condition:

  3. Repair Promptly: Address minor issues quickly to prevent them from escalating into costly repairs.
  4. Avoid Foot Traffic: Only allow trained professionals to walk on your slate roof to prevent unnecessary damage.
  5. Professional Cleaning: Avoid power washing, as it can damage the slates. Instead, opt for a gentle cleaning performed by experts.
