Houses have always made noises from my point of view its merely the
expansion and contraction of dis similar materials. Gutters are very prone
to it if plastic and when they start to warm up in the sun, likewise
recently installed roofs do it as there is no build up of detritus that
softens the slight slidings that otherwise occur in jerks. When we had to
have a few wooden items renewed due to rot near the eaves they clicked and
groaned for about a year then seemed to settle down.

Hi Robert,

We extended our house over a year ago, installing a new section of slate
roof. We are experiencing the same "snap, crackle, pop" sound you
described whenever the temperature drops at night. We now sleep in the
old part of the house whenever it is cold. Did your roof settle down
eventually or are we going to have to do something to fix the problem?

I should have thought it's all part of that olde worlde feel?

Hi Douglas,

We have a new house with a slate roof and we have observed exactly the same
noise from the roof as you describe when temperature drops below 0 deg. C
and the humidity is high. The noise last for 20-30 minutes. I know it is
long time ago, since you describe your problem, however, I just wondered
whether you ever found an explanation to your problem and if it stille
exists ? It has not been possible to finde anyone that could give me an
explanation.

Kind Regards,
