Tile Roofing in North Wales
Clay and concrete tile roofs designed to weather North Wales winters.
Overview
Concrete and clay tile roofs are the workhorse of modern British housing — long-lasting, weather-tight and cost-effective. We install and re-cover pitched tile roofs to current building regs, in a range of profiles and colours to suit the property.
Benefits
- Long service life at competitive cost
- Wide range of profiles and colours
- Excellent thermal performance
- Compatible with solar and rooflights
Common problems
- Cracked or slipped tiles from frost or impact
- Ridge tiles loosening as bedding mortar fails
- Failed valleys and flashing letting in water
- Nail-fatigue on older concrete roofs
Repair or replace?
Ridge and hip tiles should be re-bedded (or dry-fixed) every 20–30 years. Loose tiles anywhere on the roof are worth attending to sooner rather than later — one becomes ten in a Welsh winter.
Frequently asked
Concrete or clay tiles — which is better?
Clay tiles last longer and hold colour better; concrete is cheaper up-front and available in more profiles. We'll advise on the best fit for your property and budget.
