Roofing Materials we supply in Harlow

  • Ridge, hip and verge systemsDry-fix and mortar-bedded options, with vents and fixings.
  • Flat roof materialsFelt, EPDM and GRP systems for porches, garages and dormers.
  • Clay tilesPlain and pantile clay tiles for traditional roofs and matching.
  • Breathable membranesUnderlays that keep wind-driven rain out but let vapour escape.

Quantities: a worked example

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

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.

Getting roofing materials onto your Harlow site

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

  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

Roofing Materials in Harlow: questions

How many roof tiles do I need?
