About this service
Tiled roofing uses concrete or clay interlocking or plain tiles fixed to battens over a breathable membrane. Tiles slip when fixings fail or battens decay, crack from frost or impact, and the mortar bedding on ridges and verges weathers out over time. The membrane beneath often fails before the tiles, letting wind-blown rain in even when the covering looks sound. We inspect the tiles, membrane and timbers — with a drone where access is difficult — to recommend the right level of repair.
A tiled re-roof strips the old tiles, renews the membrane and battens, repairs any decayed timbers, and reinstates the tiles (reusing sound tiles where possible) with new leadwork and ridge detailing — often a dry ridge and dry verge system to current standards.

Our process
We inspect the tiles, membrane, battens and timbers — using drone imagery where access is difficult — and advise honestly whether tiles can be replaced or a full re-tile is better long-term value. A written quotation sets out the tiles, membrane, leadwork, ridge detailing and any timber repairs.
How we carry out the work
For repairs, we replace slipped or broken tiles and re-bed or renew ridge and verge detailing. For a re-tile, we strip the roof, renew the membrane and battens, repair timbers, and reinstate the tiles with new leadwork and a dry ridge and dry verge system to a weathertight, lasting standard.
Drainage considerations
Tile valleys and gutters carry a large volume of water. We check and renew valley linings and guttering as part of any repair or re-roof so water is channelled safely away.
Edging and finishing
Ridges and verges are finished with dry ridge and dry verge systems or mortar bedding to current standards, giving a neat, wind-resistant edge and ridge that will not crack and drop like older mortar beds.
Maintenance information
A sound tiled roof needs occasional inspection and gutter clearing. We advise on what to watch for — slipped tiles after storms, crumbling ridge mortar — and can carry out periodic checks.
Frequently asked questions
Can you match my existing roof tiles?
Wherever possible we use tiles that match your existing roof. Some discontinued tiles are harder to source, in which case we discuss the closest available match with you.
How long does a tiled roof last?
A concrete tiled roof typically lasts 40–60 years, and clay tiles longer. The felt membrane usually fails first. An inspection tells you where your tiled roof sits in its serviceable life.
