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,
