There are very many choices available when it comes to the selection of roof tiles for a building. Will it be clay or concrete? Do you want either a small or large format? Are there any planning restrictions? Are you considering environmental benefits or looking for a specific finish, either textured or smooth? A bit of a minefield — but we can help with your final decision, by providing a variety of samples and advice.
Then you need to decide on which underlay to use. Questions to ask: is it watertight and does it breathe well? Does it offer any insulation properties? This choice we can also help you with.
Tiling is more than just fixing tiles to battens — it's about bringing your building to life. The roof is a very important part of the property, so you need a roofing contractor that cares about its design and finish. We work very closely with all roofing product manufacturers, ensuring that you get the best material available to fit within your budget and design.
There are many tiles available for your selection in either clay or concrete:
Traditional roofing practice requires the use of cement mortar for the bedding of ridge, hip, valley and verges. New technology has now brought dry fix systems into play — eliminating the need for mortar fixing. This enables work to be carried out at all times of the year and provides a cost-effective, maintenance-free alternative. These systems are available for all makes and models of tile.
The importance of correctly specifying the ventilation requirements is crucial to roof performance — often an aspect of the design that is overlooked. Issues arising from incorrect ventilation include condensation and mould growth appearing on ceilings. All specifications are checked to ensure compliance with current regulations and manufacturer recommendations.
We work with all major tile manufacturers to find the right solution for your project and budget.
