Getting the right roofing materials
Fixing requirements
BS 5534 sets out how tiles must be fixed against wind uplift, which in most cases means every tile is mechanically fixed. Ask for the fixing specification with your tiles.
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.
In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.
Planning the drop in Barrhead
Tiles and slates arrive palletised and are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; battens and membrane rolls travel with them. Barrhead is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- On busy streets in Barrhead, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
- Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
Quantities: a worked example
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.
