Picking the right product
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.
Getting roofing materials onto your Perth site
Tiles and slates arrive palletised and are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; battens and membrane rolls travel with them. Perth is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
- In summer Perth gets around 17h 43m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
A quick quantity check
A 48 m² roof slope needs roughly 480 large-format interlocking tiles, or about 2,880 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.
Roofing Materials in Perth: questions
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.
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.
Can I add other materials to my Perth 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.
Do you deliver roofing materials to trades and homeowners in Perth?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
