Working out quantities for your Herefordshire job

A 26 m² roof slope needs roughly 260 large-format interlocking tiles, or about 1,560 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.

How delivery works in Herefordshire

Tiles and slates arrive palletised and are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; battens and membrane rolls travel with them. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Herefordshire.

  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
  • Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around HR are priced to the exact address.

Choosing roofing materials

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.

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.

Common questions from Herefordshire

Do you deliver roofing materials to Herefordshire?

Yes. We deliver across Herefordshire, including HR. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Herefordshire. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.

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.

Do you deliver roofing materials to trades and homeowners in Herefordshire?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

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.
