Choosing the Right Roofing Materials for Your Property

The right roofing material depends on your property's age, style, budget and what you want the roof to do — here's how to weigh it up.

Matching period properties

Older and listed properties often benefit from, or require, natural slate or clay tile to stay in keeping with the property's character and any conservation requirements.

Concrete tile for value and durability

Concrete tiles are a cost-effective, long-lasting option for most modern and standard properties, without the premium price tag of natural slate.

Weight and structural considerations

Some materials are considerably heavier than others, which matters for older roof structures that weren't necessarily designed for the heaviest options.

Thinking beyond just appearance

Lifespan, maintenance needs and how the material performs in your specific local weather conditions all matter as much as how it looks on day one.

Our installation team will talk through the realistic options for your specific property, not just push the most expensive choice.
