How long do the building materials last?



We use the following building materials, which with the general weather we have in cumbria, can easily be expected to last for the following periods from new.

   Cumbrian Slate, 50-100 years
   Sheet metal, 20-50 years
   Built up roofing (felt/flat roofing), 20-30 years
   Marley/Redlands Tiles, 25-30 years.


Obviously, other materials will have different lifespans, and extreme weather conditions can affect these figures.
