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.

Quantities: a worked example

A 36 m² roof slope needs roughly 360 large-format interlocking tiles, or about 2,160 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 Grays

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

• On busy streets in Grays, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• In summer Grays gets around 16h 38m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Common questions from Grays

Can you match old clay tiles?

We can look for close current matches. Reclaimed tiles are another route for very old roofs; ask and we will tell you what we can source.

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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Grays?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

How soon can roofing materials be delivered in Grays?

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.
