Delivery to Didcot: what helps

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

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• On busy streets in Didcot, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.

Sizing your order

A 22 m² roof slope needs roughly 220 large-format interlocking tiles, or about 1,320 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.

Getting the right roofing materials

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.

Common questions from Didcot

How soon can roofing materials be delivered in Didcot?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

What battens should I use?

Roofing battens graded for roofing work, of the size the tile maker and BS 5534 call for, normally treated.

What is dry-fix ridge?

A mechanical system that fixes ridge and hip tiles without mortar, which avoids mortar cracking and is now common on new roofs.

Can I add other materials to my Didcot 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.
