Providing protection from the elements and helping define the look of a house, roofs are covered with a diversity of materials, including clay, stone, slate and metal. When they are properly maintained, roof coverings and the timber structures supporting them will last for generations. Roofing is a skilled job and, while there are many highly competent roofers, it is important to employ a contractor who understands old buildings and the materials involved.
