What goes into a tiled roof
- Breathable underlay under the battens, to keep wind-driven rain out and let the roof space breathe.
- Battens fixed at the right spacing for the tile.
- Tiles laid and fixed the right way for the roof.
- Ridges and hips bedded and pointed.
- Verges, valleys and flashings finished properly. See our leadwork page.
Repair or re-tile?
If the problem is in one area and the rest of the roof is sound, a repair is usually enough. If tiles are failing all over or the battens and underlay have broken down, re-tiling is better value. See our roof repairs and roof replacement pages. The Planning Portal says that in most situations, re-roofing needs building regulations approval.

Frequently asked questions
Can you match tiles that are no longer made?
We match the tile profile and colour as closely as we can. If an exact match isn't available, we'll explain the options.
Can I change from concrete tiles to clay?
Often, yes. The roof structure may need checking if the weight changes significantly.
Why does my ridge keep coming loose?
Usually because the mortar it's bedded on has cracked or washed out. Re-bedding and pointing it properly fixes it. See our roof and chimney pointing page.
Do you tile extension roofs?
Yes. We tile roofs on extensions and new builds, matched to the house where we can.
