Welsh slate lasts a lifetime - concrete tiles crack with weathering.
Soon after I moved in I had a massive leak -it filled a bucket in my lounge.
They slapped a bit of cement on up there, but didn't replace the bulging ceiling plasterboard - but that was before HH took over from HBC.
...incidentally my walls and ceilings are wallpaper directly applied to plasterboard - no plaster! = 'jerry built'
....and the wall between my bedroom and the stairwell is single brick, hence no insulation possible.
