All the houses around this area are slate roofs. A house a bit down the road (same style as ours) has just had a re-roof but they opted for tiles, which stands out a mile.
Now i know it depends on the type of slate & the type of tile. Our place stocked some Estillo slate which was god awful. About 0.000000000000001mm thick (exaggeration of course). Nasty stuff. We've moved on to other stuff now.
I did ask a roofer that was out roughly how much it would be to do our roof. He said approx. the £4,000 marker.
That'd be slate.
If you went for a tiled option, what sort of price difference are you talking?
I guess tiles are cheaper than slate. Are there any advantages for tiles over slate other than cost?
