Tiled Roofs across Greater London

Tiles are the most common covering on pitched roofs, and the type on your house shapes how it looks, what it weighs and how it should be repaired or replaced. Concrete interlocking tiles are widespread on post-war homes because they are economical and quick to lay. Clay plain tiles, small and double-lapped, give the close, textured finish seen on many Edwardian and Arts and Crafts houses. Pantiles, with their S-shaped profile, suit outbuildings, extensions and some period styles. Ashlar Roofing lays and repairs all three, in both concrete and clay.

A good tiled roof comes down to detail: the correct batten gauge for the tile, a tile rated for the pitch of your roof, and a fixing pattern that matches its exposure to wind. We fix tiles with nails and clips as the manufacturer specifies, form valleys and verges to suit the tile, and finish ridges and hips with mechanically fixed systems. If you want to match existing tiles on an extension or a neighbouring roof, we can source reclaimed or close-match tiles so the new section blends in with the old.
