Quantities: a worked example
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 Paisley
Tiles and slates arrive palletised and are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; battens and membrane rolls travel with them. Paisley is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
- With roughly 6h 59m of daylight in Paisley around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
Before you order 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 Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.
Roofing Materials questions
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.
How soon can roofing materials be delivered in Paisley?
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.
Can I add other materials to my Paisley delivery?
Yes. Put everything on one list, from roofing materials to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.
What battens should I use?
Roofing battens graded for roofing work, of the size the tile maker and BS 5534 call for, normally treated.
