Local Tile Roofers For Harrow & Surrounds

Trusted Roof Tilers For Replacement & Installation

A pitched roof is defined as a roof that slopes downward towards the ground, and they are some of the most common and traditional roofing structures in the UK. We are local tile roofers with over a decade of roof tile replacement experience, and installing new tiled roofs, in a range of materials, all over Harrow and the surrounding areas. And although the lack of a sufficient foothold can make pitched roofs slightly more challenging to service, our roof tilers have the experience to handle even the most challenging projects, and roof designs with even the most steepest pitches.

Types of roof our local tile roofers can install

There are a number of ways a tiled roof can be configured and so it is often said that every pitched roof has its own 'personality'. The most straightforward form is a 'coupled roof' because each side rises to the peak at the centre of the structure. But there are plenty of other designs that our local tile roofers have installed, including:

• An offset coupled roof (where the roof peak is off centre)
• Mono pitched roofs (one side slopes to another side of a building e.g to an extension)
• Collar roofs (that increase internal loft space)

These are just a few of the configurations that our roof tilers can install. If you have something else in mind don't hesitate to contact us. Our expert team can accommodate all designs and projects and we can discuss this with you.

Tile roof material options

For pitched roofs there are several options that you can choose to cover it with. The most requested amongst our clients are ceramic roof tiles, slate roof tiles and reed. Give us a call and let us walk you through the different types of tiles and their cost, to help you make the right decision for you.

Slate tiles

Slates roof tiles are a very popular option amongst homeowners because of their incredible aesthetics. Whether you're considering a slate tile roof for a new build or for an existing property, the timeless natural beauty of them looks great on both modern buildings and period properties. Slate is extremely durable and long-lasting and resistant to fire, moisture, and extreme temperatures. In fact, a tiled roof with well installed slate tiles can last well over 50 years and can sometimes last up to 100 years with little more maintenance required than a biannual clean.

Installing slate tiles does require more expertise but our specialist local tile roofers can handle any slate tile roofing project. Because installing a slate roof is more labour-intensive however, installation costs can be higher, as well as slate roof tile replacement.

Clay tiles

Natural clay tiles have an innate beauty because of how they retain a natural colour before maturing over time to develop into a darker and richer shade. And how much the colour deepens depends on the nature of the tile and the environment around it.

You can opt for machine made tiles which are dense, durable and more resistant to changing colour so that the colour remains largely the same, or just slightly darken over time. Because of how clay tiles are produced, you can expect slight colour variations in the tiles and this adds to their aesthetic to enhance the look of your roof.

Concrete tiles

Most concrete roof tiles made across the world are surface treated to protect the tile during its early stages. And unlike clay tiles that keep their natural colour, concrete ones are coloured to suit. However over time the colour can fade although some manufacturers make sure that the tiles they produce are colour-fast, by adding colour throughout the tile instead of just the surface.

There are several benefits to concrete tiles that have been treated, including improving the intensity of tile colours, minimising dust, dirt, lichen and moss contamination, extending the durability of the tile surface and protecting it from water damage. And the benefit of coloured concrete tiles is that there is consistency in the colouring throughout your roof.
