How much will you need?
A 55 m² roof slope needs roughly 550 large-format interlocking tiles, or about 3,300 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.
How delivery works in Bedfordshire
Tiles and slates arrive palletised and are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; battens and membrane rolls travel with them. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Bedfordshire.
- If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
Picking the right product
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.
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 England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.
