Before your Eltham delivery arrives

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

• In summer Eltham gets around 16h 38m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• With roughly 7h 50m of daylight in Eltham around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

Picking the right product

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.

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.

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.

How much will you need?

An 18 m² roof slope needs roughly 180 large-format interlocking tiles, or about 1,080 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.

Roofing Materials questions

How soon can roofing materials be delivered in Eltham?

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.

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.

How many roof tiles do I need?

It depends on the tile and its gauge (the spacing of the battens). Manufacturers quote tiles per square metre for each product; send us the roof area and the tile and we will work it out with ridge, hip and verge pieces.

Can you deliver roofing materials to a site with restricted access in Eltham?

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.
