Before your Bootle delivery arrives

Tiles and slates arrive palletised and are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; battens and membrane rolls travel with them. Bootle is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• With roughly 7h 28m of daylight in Bootle around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

Getting the right 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.

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.

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.

Quantities: a worked example

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.

Questions about roofing materials delivery in Bootle

Do I need a breathable membrane?

Most new pitched roofs use a breathable (vapour-permeable) underlay, which helps control condensation in the roof space. Some designs use a non-breathable underlay with ventilation instead.

Do you deliver roofing materials to trades and homeowners in Bootle?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

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 Bootle?

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.
