Tile Selection Factors

We select appropriate tiles based either on building plan specifications or upon consultation with clients and on the tile manufacturers recommendations regarding the relevant roof characteristics, such as:

• location
• roof pitch
• roof loading
• size
• appearance
• durability
• cost
• airtightness and vapour permeability

Correct tile selection will ensure your roof retains its seal, maximises the life of the investment and retains or enhances the aesthetic 'kerb' appeal of the property.

We show several examples of our roof repairs, new-build installations and roof refurbishments using plain, profiled and interlocking tiles, formed from either clay, cement, and fibre cement (slates).

Roof Re-Tiling

Common problems seen in tile toofs that requires repair and maintenance or retiling include: leaks in the roof space, wet exterior walls, cracking, crumbling, damaged and missing tiles.

Retiling a roof is necesssary once the existing tiles are at the end of their useful life.

Evidence of degraded tiles include:

• shaling (crumbling and disintegration) of clay tiles
• cracked cement tiles
• missing tiles
• evidence of multiple minor repairs
• mismatched replacement tiles
• misshapen lead flashings and chimney aprons, eaves and gutters

A damaged tile roof covering can lead to leaks and wind blown spray which can cause associated problems such as damage to property and rotting to structural timbers.

To accurately assess the damage or problems within a roof, a roof survey may be required to identify the underlying condition of the structure and any remedy required.

Retiling a roof will require:

• scaffolding for access and safety
• identification and isolation of any defective areas
• stripping out these damaged or decayed areas
• reinstatement with new or reclaimed materials to match existing slates

Tile Roof Refurbishment

Where the roof structure and tiles are generally sound, the existing roof covering may refurbished.

Refurbising a tile roof requires identification and isolation of the defective areas are evident and partially stripping back these areas and reinstatement of the tile covering with a patchwork of existing and new or reclaimed materials.
