Roof Coverings and Fire Safety

When you're choosing materials for your roof, it's essential that they are robust and capable of withstanding various weather conditions. If your roof has a slope (a pitched roof), the angle of that slope will partly dictate which specific types of tiles or slates you can use.

Furthermore, should your roof be situated near a property boundary, its coverings must also incorporate qualities that prevent fire from spreading to the neighbouring land or building.
