Choosing from our roofing materials range

- Clay tilesPlain and pantile clay tiles for traditional roofs and matching.
- Roofing battensTreated battens graded for roofing.
How much will you need?
A 36 m² roof slope needs roughly 360 large-format interlocking tiles, or about 2,160 small plain tiles, before ridge, hip and verge pieces. The exact count comes from the tile's gauge, so send us the roof measurements and pitch and we will work it out with the battens and membrane.
Before your Antrim delivery arrives
Tiles and slates arrive palletised and are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; battens and membrane rolls travel with them. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
- On busy streets in Antrim, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
- In summer Antrim gets around 17h 18m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
Before you order roofing materials
Check the minimum pitch
Every tile and slate has a minimum rafter pitch set by the manufacturer. A shallow extension roof may rule some tiles out.
Matching an existing roof
The profile, size and colour all matter. A photo of the tile and a measurement of its exposed face help us find the closest current product.
In Northern Ireland building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland), with guidance in the Technical Booklets, and applications go to the council's building control team.
Common questions from Antrim
Do you supply flat roof materials?
Yes, felt, EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass systems for smaller roofs. Tell us the roof size and what is underneath.
Can you deliver roofing materials to a site with restricted access in Antrim?
Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.
How many roof tiles do I need?
It depends on the tile and its gauge (the spacing of the battens). Manufacturers quote tiles per square metre for each product; send us the roof area and the tile and we will work it out with ridge, hip and verge pieces.
Can I add other materials to my Antrim delivery?
Yes. Put everything on one list, from roofing materials to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.
