Munro Roofing Services

Munro Roofing Services offer slating, slate roof installation and repair across Edinburgh. Slate roofs offer long-lasting protection against the elements, in the harshest of climates and conditions. The durability and longevity of slate is unrivalled by the alternative products available on the market. Furthermore, slate offers protection against fire damage, rot damage and insect invasion. Additionally, since slate roofs are double lapped, they offer supreme protection against water penetration. Slate is a premium option, but it looks and performs exceptionally well. Slate is a fine-grained metamorphic rock and is especially suited to use as a roofing material thanks to its extremely low water absorption index. Its unique properties make slate strong, water repellent, less prone to discolouration and less prone to freezing. At Munro Roofing Services Edinburgh, our slating process utilises British slate which accords with the European Standard BS EN 12326.

Munro Roofing Services offer tiling, roof tile installation and repair across Edinburgh. As opposed to slate, roof tiles are manmade, and can be made from range of hard-wearing materials, such as fired clay or concrete. Roof tiles are available in all shapes, sizes, colours and design and thus offer a flexible option. The flexibility offered by roof tiles extends into a cost benefit, since larger tiles can be used to cover a larger area, at reduced cost. Tiling is suited to projects where an irregular roof necessitates variably sized tiles, such as feature windows or chimneys. Furthermore, with the broad range of available designs and colours, roof tiles are also perfectly suited to bespoke and unique applications. Much like slate, roof tiles are impervious to fire, rot and insect damage. Increasingly, roof tiles are being seen as an environmentally friendly option, as they can be recycled when removed.

Whether you require a lead or zinc roof installation, repair or maintenance of your existing roof, contact Munro Roofing Services Edinburgh today! Lead is an extremely popular material for roofing and, in many ways, is considered the benchmark when it comes to roofing materials. It is flexible and malleable, thus easy to apply. It boasts superior sealing properties while remaining corrosion resistant and long-lasting. Furthermore, it is recyclable and thus beneficial to the environment. Zinc is another material that is particularly suited to roofing. It is long-lasting, extremely durable and possesses a natural resistance to corrosion. Zinc roofs are also self-healing: if the material is scratched, it can fix itself over time. This makes zinc roofs essentially maintenance-free.
