In addition to protecting one of the most vulnerable areas of the home, roof tiles can also help create a more aesthetically-pleasing look to the property. Roof tiles can be made from several materials, including terracotta, slate, concrete and plastic, which are weather and fire-resistant for a safe and durable roofing material. Our skilled team have years’ worth of experience in tiling for the best possible results using tried and tested techniques.

Types of Roof Tiles

There are various types of roofing tile to choose from, each with a different style that will impact the overall look of the structure.

Pantiles

Pantiles are larger tiles typically made from clay and with a distinctive ‘S’ shape. This type of roof tile is better suited to areas with milder weather conditions.

Plain Roof Tiles

A classic style, plain roof tiles are cost effective and versatile, as they can be installed in a number of ways.

Roman Roof Tiles

As the name suggests, this interlocking style has been used since the Roman Empire and is still popular today due to its functionality and stylish roll profile.

New Generation Roof Tiles

​​This is an affordable style that’s made from natural clay and has an innovative design, which makes them less laborious to install and cuts down on the amount of installation time.

Concrete Thin Leading Edge (TLE)

TLE tiles have an interlocking style that is lightweight and is the thinnest roof tile on the market, providing a slate-like appearance and exceptional performance.

Slate Appearance Roof Tiles

Commonly used for newly built residential properties, these tiles have a traditional interlocking format but are more cost-effective and quicker to install due to their larger size.
