Are you considering a tile roof for your property? Here’s why it could be the perfect choice. 

Why Choose a Tile Roof?

A quality roof is more than just protection. It invests in your home’s value, efficiency, and resilience. Tile roofs consistently outperform materials like asphalt, felt, and metal, making them a top choice for UK homeowners. 

These roofs stand the test of time.  

Tile roofs are among the most formidable roofing options. They last between 50 and 100 years when installed and cared for properly. A well-maintained tile roof can last longer than the building itself. This differs from asphalt or metal roofs, which often need replacing every 15 to 30 years. 

Did you know? Many historic UK buildings still feature clay tile roofs that are hundreds of years old. This is credit alone for their impressive longevity! 

Designed for the UK climate. 

The unpredictable British weather demands a roofing solution that can withstand extreme conditions. Tile roofs provide great protection from heavy rain, frost, and strong winds, making them perfect for homes in Hampshire and West Sussex. 

  • Low water absorption rate prevents leaks, dampness, and mould growth. 
  • It's storm-resistant and perfect for coastal properties in Portsmouth & Chichester, where high winds are common. 
  • Frost-proof design protects against cracking and structural damage during cold winters. 

A well-kept tile roof can handle winds over 100 mph, making it one of the best choices for storm-resistant roofing! 

Lower your heating bills. 

A tile roof helps regulate indoor temperatures, reducing energy consumption and heating costs. 

  • Natural insulation keeps homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer. 
  • Thermal mass effect reduces reliance on central heating, cutting energy expenses by up to 20% annually. 
  • Perfect for eco-conscious homeowners looking for an efficient roofing solution without costly modifications. 

Keep costs down while staying safe. 

Tile roofs are low maintenance compared to other materials. They also offer excellent safety benefits. 

  • Naturally resistant to rot, insect damage, and decay, ensuring long-term durability. 
  • Fireproof tiles provide added protection against house fires, meeting UK Building Regulations. 
  • Tiles retain their rich colours for decades, eliminating the need for repainting.

Tile roofs are available in various styles, textures, and colours, making them a versatile choice for modern and traditional homes.

  • Traditional, elegant, and perfect for heritage-listed properties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Tile roofs are one of the most eco-friendly roofing options available. Clay and concrete tiles last much longer than asphalt shingles, which need replacing every 15-30 years. Plus, tiles are 100% recyclable, so they help reduce landfill waste. Additionally, their natural insulation properties help reduce energy consumption, making homes more sustainable. 

If sustainability is a priority, we can recommend locally sourced or reclaimed tiles for your project. 

Tile roofs are heavier than materials like slate, felt, or metal. Most modern homes can support them, but older buildings or lightweight structures might need extra support. Our team performs detailed roof inspections to see if additional support is required before installation. 

We provide a tailored structural plan to ensure maximum safety and compliance if reinforcement is required. 

Tile roofs are durable but not designed to withstand foot traffic like flat or metal roofs. Walking on them without proper technique can cause the tiles to crack or loosen. 

If you need to access the roof for chimney maintenance, we advise using walkboards or getting professional help. This will help avoid damage. 

Tile roofs need little upkeep. However, regular checks can stop minor problems from turning into expensive repairs. 

Here are some essential maintenance tips: 

  • Inspect for cracked or loose tiles after storms or extreme weather. 
  • Keep gutters and drainage systems clear to prevent water pooling. 
  • Check for moss or algae growth, which can cause moisture retention. 
  • Schedule professional inspections every few years for early issue detection. 

Our experts offer roof maintenance services to keep your tile roof in top condition. 

This depends on your property’s structure and the existing roofing material. While some roofs can support a tile overlay, it’s not always advisable, as the added weight may exceed the roof's load-bearing capacity. 

Our team will evaluate your roof structure and recommend the best approach. To ensure safety, this could involve direct tile installation or a complete roof replacement.
