Act At The First Sign Of Tile Damage

While a damaged or cracked tile may initially seem like a minor issue, it can quickly escalate, particularly during winter months. Rainwater easily finds its way into the tile crack, ultimately penetrating your roof. This can lead to substantial damage to insulation, timbers, and result in water patches on interior ceilings, leading to additional repair costs.

Types Of Tiles We Use

Clay Tiles

Clay tiles are an environmentally friendly choice, often achieving an A+ rating. They are made from natural materials and boast an extended lifespan compared to other options. Clay tiles are a clear preference for roofing projects due to their durability and sustainability.

Concrete Tiles

Concrete tiles offer a cost-effective alternative to clay or slate tiles. They come in various colors, profiles, shapes, and sizes. Their affordability has made concrete tiles a popular choice among many clients.

Slate Tiles

Slate is a highly regarded roofing material that has been utilized for centuries. Welsh slate, known for its exceptional quality, has a minimum life expectancy of 75 years. In fact, Welsh slate can often be reused even after surpassing its expected lifespan. While Welsh slate is a more expensive option, there are other manufacturers of slate available for roofing purposes. Spanish or Chinese slate, for example, provides a cost-effective alternative with a lifespan of 60 to 75 years.
