Before you order 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 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.

Estimating your roofing materials

A 42 m² roof slope needs roughly 420 large-format interlocking tiles, or about 2,520 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.

Delivering roofing materials in Chapeltown

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• On busy streets in Chapeltown, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
