Slate roofing is widely regarded as the premier roofing material not only for its natural beauty, but its extreme longevity and durability. Even as the most durable roofing material on the market, there may be times when your slate roof becomes damaged due to extreme weather or other conditions. When that happens, the team at Murnane Slate Roofing are here to help.

Whilst damage due to weather should be minimal, there are some things that you should know about slate if you do suspect damage or observe damage to your slate roof. Here’s some information on slate roofs and what you should do if your slate roof is damaged.

How Slate Becomes Damaged

Slate is the most durable roofing material available today and can last for centuries with proper maintenance and upkeep. However, we all know that weather conditions can be extreme here in Australia, and there are other circumstances that may damage your roof, such as renovations or even fires in your home.

While rare, slate may become damaged. Fortunately, slate is very easy to replace, and the damage should be minimal, even in the most extreme conditions. When your slate roof becomes damaged, the best thing you can do is contact the experts at Murnane Slate Roofing.

Inspecting Your Roof For Damage

If you do suspect any damage to your slate roof, you need to be extremely careful when you’re inspecting your roof. Damaged tiles can become loose and slide off of your roof entirely, which can be dangerous if you step on a damaged tile and can be dangerous for anyone on the ground that may not see the tiles coming.

When you are on your roof, touch each tile before you step on them. Inspect your tiles to see if there are any cracks or chips, and make sure that your tiles are secured. If you do see cracks or notice that tiles are loose, do not step on them or place any tools directly on them. The additional weight can cause them to dislodge from your roof entirely, which can be dangerous.
