9 years ago we replaced the roof slates on our 1930s property. We are about to have a loft conversion and when the scaffolding went up this week I was concerned to find that the many of the roof slates are now showing visible signs of rust. The roofing contractor used Sigma 38 slates (allegedly) and were guaranteed against defective workmanship/materials for 30 years.
Rusting is widespread and some of the slates seem to be delaminating as a result. Should I get the roofing company back or is the rusting natural/cosmetic and not likely to affect the longevitiy of the slates?
Any advice from experienced roofers would be greatly appreciated.
