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 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.
Before your Sheffield delivery arrives
Tiles and slates arrive palletised and are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; battens and membrane rolls travel with them. Sheffield is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
- Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around S1 are priced to the exact address.
Working out quantities for your Sheffield job
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 questions
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 Sheffield?
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 Sheffield?
Yes. We deliver across Sheffield, including S1, S2, S3, S4. Sheffield is inside our standard mainland delivery area. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.
What battens should I use?
Roofing battens graded for roofing work, of the size the tile maker and BS 5534 call for, normally treated.
