Slate is hard-wearing and durable but it can easily crack under pressure. That's why professionals use hook ladders, jacks and planks on slate roofing. This allows them to walk on the roof without putting any weight on it.

Slate forms naturally when layers of rock are exposed to extreme pressure and heat, so it's no surprise that it's so resistant to fire. This natural property makes slate a great choice for roofing material as it reduces the chances of a building's roof catching alight in the event of a fire.

Regular maintenance should include cleaning gutters at least twice during the fall and once in early spring, and replacing damaged slates promptly. Every five to seven years inspections should be conducted by professionals experienced in working with slate and steep slopes.
