Natural slate roof replacement in Burnham- on-Crouch Essex

Job Description: Remove old roof and replace with new natural slate roof.

Location: Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex

Job duration: 1 week

The tired old slate roof was stripped off this 3 story town house and replaced with a new natural Spanish slate roof. Keenan Roofing also fully renewed all the facia, soffit and gutting from the old rotten wood to new UPVC white plastic.

A new slate roof offers numerous advantages for homeowners, combining durability, beauty, and long-term value. Slate is a natural stone renowned for its long lifespan — lasting for over a century with proper care. The dense composition makes it highly resistant to harsh weather, fire, and temperature changes, providing superior protection compared to many other roofing materials.

Slate also requires minimal maintenance, reducing long-term repair costs. Aesthetically, it adds timeless elegance and enhances a property’s worth, often increasing potential resale value. Environmentally, slate is sustainable since it is a natural material with minimal processing and long service life, reducing waste.

Slate also offers excellent insulation, helping maintain stable indoor temperatures and improving energy efficiency. While the initial investment can be higher, the combination of longevity, performance, and classic appearance makes a new slate roof a cost-effective and environmentally responsible choice for many homeowners.
