New Roofs
At GU Roofing and Guttering, we bring years of expertise in the installation and repair of tile and slate roofs. Choosing us for your roofing projects guarantees that the job will be finished on schedule and within your budget.
Tiled New Roof
Clay and concrete roofing tiles are among the most sought-after roofing materials in the UK, particularly for residential properties. Roof tiles are a traditional, custom-made option that has demonstrated both aesthetic appeal and reliability. We offer a diverse selection of clay and concrete tiles to suit your desired colour, design, or budget.
Slate New Roof
Slate roofing represents one of the more classic roofing styles still in use throughout the UK, with origins tracing back to the 19th Century. Its popularity as a roofing choice is attributed to its low water absorption and capacity to endure cold temperatures.
Additionally, slate roofing is favoured for its striking appearance and dark finish, with each slate roof contributing a distinct look, style, and character to the building. At GU Roofing and Guttering, we meticulously choose the slates to best complement your property and its environment, preserving its heritage for many years ahead.

More Information
Are roof tiles fireproof?
Clay and concrete roof tiles are non-combustible and have a Class A fire rating. But a tile roof doesn’t make a home fireproof. However, tile roofing is safer than shingles, wood shake or metal because it allows air circulation under the tile, which reduces heat transfer to the loft during a fire.
How long do tiled roofs last?
A concrete or clay tile roof can reasonably be expected to outlast the building it protects. With that in mind, most manufacturers offer warranties of 50 years or more.
What about the insulation value of a tiled roof?
Tile roofs are very good insulators. The combined effect of roof tiles, decking and air space between the tiles allows for better air circulation and reduces direct heat transfer by up to 50%.
Are tiled roofs expensive?
You’d be surprised. When you factor in cost per year of use, tile roofs are the same or less expensive than several other roofing materials. Both concrete and clay tile roofs outlast most other roof types and many clay roofing tiles have remained functional and beautiful for a very long time.
Does a tile roof need maintenance?
Clay and concrete tiles require very little maintenance and rarely needs any treatment. If necessary, professional roof cleaning can be done to remove moss or other dirt and debris as and when required.
Are slate roofs hard to maintain?
Installed properly, slate roofs require little maintenance and will last 60 to 125 years or longer depending on the type of slate used, roof configuration and the geographical location of the property. Some slate roofs have been known to last over 200 years.
Can you walk on a slate roof?
Slate is hard wearing and durable, but it can crack under pressure. That’s why professionals like GU Roofing and Guttering use hook ladders, jacks and planks on slate roofing, allowing them to walk on the roof without putting any weight on it.
How much do slate roofs cost?
Costs will vary depending on several factors such as the size of your roof, the type of slate used, how accessible your roof is and the length of time it may take. While slate is initially more expensive, it can save you money in the long run as it is very hard wearing and durable.
How often do slate roofs need to be replaced?
Slate roofs are designed to last 100 years or more and when regularly inspected and properly maintained can easily reach this age. To reach this milestone, broken, cracked or missing slates should be replaced promptly by an experienced roofer to prevent serious damage.
