Choosing your tiles
- Look at the surrounding buildings - your roof covering will need to be sympathetic
to the local style
- Find out what material is in use on surrounding roofs: ie clay; concrete, or
natural slate
- Consider if you want natural products that will add value or 'saleability' in
the future
- Choose a suitable tile for the design of the roof: consider minimum pitch, curves,
cones, etc. If the roof has intricate shapes such as dormers then a small-scale
tile may be the most suitable. If the roof is a simple gable-to-gable design,
then a tile with a large profile, such as a clay pantile or roman tile would be
more economical
- Most importantly, ask your local planning authority for advice before you decide.
Authorities have rules and policies and are best consulted at the design stage
- Once you have made a decision, check again with local planners - submit samples
