Order roofing materials for delivery in Limavady

What roofing materials can we deliver to Limavady?

• Breathable membranesUnderlays that keep wind-driven rain out but let vapour escape.
• Roofing battensTreated battens graded for roofing.
• Clay tilesPlain and pantile clay tiles for traditional roofs and matching.
• Ridge, hip and verge systemsDry-fix and mortar-bedded options, with vents and fixings.

How much will you need?

A 55 m² roof slope needs roughly 550 large-format interlocking tiles, or about 3,300 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.

Delivery to Limavady: what helps

Tiles and slates arrive palletised and are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; battens and membrane rolls travel with them. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

• 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 BT49 are priced to the exact address.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Things to check before you order

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.

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.

In Northern Ireland building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland), with guidance in the Technical Booklets, and applications go to the council's building control team.

Ordering roofing materials for Limavady: FAQs

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.

Do I need a breathable membrane?

Most new pitched roofs use a breathable (vapour-permeable) underlay, which helps control condensation in the roof space. Some designs use a non-breathable underlay with ventilation instead.

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

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.

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

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