Roofing Materials for Tonbridge, delivered to site

What roofing materials can we deliver to Tonbridge?

• Natural and fibre-cement slatesSlate for new roofs and repairs, with hooks or nails.
• Concrete interlocking tilesEconomical tiles in many profiles and colours; low pitches possible with some profiles.
• 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 42 m² roof slope needs roughly 420 large-format interlocking tiles, or about 2,520 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.

Planning the drop in Tonbridge

Tiles and slates arrive palletised and are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; battens and membrane rolls travel with them. Tonbridge 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.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• In summer Tonbridge gets around 16h 35m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Choosing roofing materials

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.

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.

What battens should I use?

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.
