Picking the right product

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.

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 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.

A quick quantity check

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 Wakefield: what helps

Tiles and slates arrive palletised and are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; battens and membrane rolls travel with them. Wakefield is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
  • On busy streets in Wakefield, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Questions about roofing materials delivery in Wakefield

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.

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.

Can I add other materials to my Wakefield 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 Wakefield?

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