Tile Roofing

Clay & Concrete Tiled Roofs

Tiled roofs are a familiar sight across Buckinghamshire, from small clay plain tiles on cottages to larger interlocking concrete tiles on newer houses. Each type is laid differently, and getting the gauge, overlap and fixings right is what keeps rain out over the long term.

Re-tiling means taking the old tiles off, checking the timbers and fitting new membrane and battens before the new tiles go on. Where a house in Marlow or Beaconsfield has character worth keeping, we look for tiles that match the originals in colour, size and texture.

Every new tiled roof we lay is covered by our 25-year guarantee, with the terms supplied in writing alongside your quote. If your home would suit a different finish, our slate roofs page explains what natural slate offers instead.

Tiled Roofs: How It Works

From Old Tiles to New

The stages below show how a typical re-tiling job runs, though every roof gets its own plan once we have surveyed it.

1

Survey & Tile Choice

We inspect the roof, identify the existing tiles and help you choose new ones, then send you a fixed price in writing.

2

Careful Strip-Off

Old tiles and battens are removed, with any sound tiles set aside where they could be reused on a visible slope.

3

Laying the New Tiles

With the timbers checked and membrane and battens fitted, the tiles are laid, then the ridges, hips and verges are finished.

4

Inspection Together

When the last tile is in place and the ground below is cleared, we review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.

Tiled Roofs FAQs

Tiled Roof FAQs

Should I Choose Clay or Concrete Tiles?

Clay tiles have a traditional look that weathers attractively and often suits older homes and conservation settings. Concrete tiles usually cost less and cover a roof quickly, which suits many modern houses. We show you samples, explain how each would look on your property and price whichever you prefer.

What Is the Difference Between Plain & Interlocking Tiles?

Plain tiles are small and flat, laid with a double overlap so each one is covered by the two courses above, giving a fine, traditional finish. Interlocking tiles are larger and lock together at the sides, so fewer are needed and they suit shallower pitches. Your roof pitch and the style of the house guide the choice.

Can You Match Tiles on My Period Home?

Often, yes. We look at the colour, size, shape and texture of your existing tiles and source new or reclaimed tiles that sit well alongside them. On some older roofs an exact match is not possible, and if that is the case we tell you at the quote stage and show you the closest options.

Can Some of My Old Tiles Be Reused?

If your tiles are still sound, some may be reused, for example on the front slope where the original look matters most. Many old tiles are porous, cracked or brittle, though, and those are best replaced. We check them as the roof comes off and agree with you which ones are worth keeping.

Is the 25-Year Guarantee Included on Re-Tiling?

Yes. A new tiled roof that we install comes with our 25-year guarantee. The terms are set out in writing and handed to you with your quote, so you can read them before you commit to the work and keep them safely with your other house papers.

How Much Does It Cost to Re-Tile a Roof?

It depends on the size and pitch of your roof, the tiles you choose and the state of the timbers underneath. Our visit and written quote are free and come with no obligation, and the figure you accept is the one you pay. Call 01494 370053 to arrange a time.
