Tiled Roofing

What is a Tiled Roof?

Tiled roofing is one of the most popular (and traditional) choices for residential and commercial buildings. A tiled roof is usually made up of clay, concrete or slate tiles.

Depending on the materials chosen, tiled roofing can actually be a very cost-effective option. Tiles come in a wide variety of colours and styles to suit the aesthetic of any property. Whether you’d like an entirely new roof or simply need minor repairs to blend new tiles into existing ones, our expert roofing contractors are here to help.

Tiles come in all patterns and sizes which is why we provide solutions to suit a range of roof types. Our expert roofing contractors install tiled roofs to the highest standard to ensure the end result is as durable and beautiful as possible. Before we start working on any roofing project, we undertake a full roof inspection and survey to understand your requirements.

Benefits of a Tiled Roof

Durability: Tiled roofing is known for its exceptional durability, lasting several decades with proper maintenance. Tiles are resistant to rot, insects, and fire, providing long-term protection to your property.

Aesthetic Appeal: Tiled roofs offer a timeless and elegant look to any building. They come in a variety of colours, styles, and materials such as clay, concrete, or slate, allowing for customisation to match the architectural style of the property.

Low Maintenance: Tiled roofs are relatively low maintenance compared to other roofing materials. Periodic inspections and basic upkeep such as cleaning gutters and replacing damaged tiles can keep the roof in good condition for years.

Environmentally Friendly: Many tile materials are eco-friendly and recyclable, reducing environmental impact. Additionally, the longevity of tiled roofs means less waste from frequent replacements.

S&J re-roofed our 1960’s house during September. The service was excellent from start to finish. Everyone we dealt with at S&J was polite, courteous and helpful. We chose them because they were a long established local family business with a good track record offered a 25yr guarantee and they had done a good job on a neighbour house . On our house they removed the existing tiles, battons very damaged felt liner. They installed a new breathable lining, new battons and we opted for new tiles.. we are very pleased with the outcome. Thanks to Lee, Naomi, Tom, James, Kye, Scott, Cam and Jay…. You made it a painless experience

If it were possible to give a higher than 5* review, I would be more than happy to do so. Prior to instructing a company to do my roof renewals, I obtained five quotes. These quotes were from reputable Bath specialist roofing companies, all with a minimum of 4.6 plus reviews. S&J Roofing were the last company I met with, by this time I had already instructed another company. I was so impressed after meeting with the Director of S&J, Lee Shellard, that I cancelled the other company I’d already instructed (forgoing my deposit.) Before starting the work Lee encouraged me to come into the Walcot Street shop, so I could see all the materials that would be used on my roof and check I was happy before the work commenced. Throughout the project I could not have been happier with how the work was carried out. The S&J team were, polite, tidy on site, worked extremely hard even in the summer heatwave. They were always happy to answer questions and kept in constant communication regarding the work that had been done and completion timings. They completed the work on time and left the site immaculately tidy. I’m so grateful that I decided to instruct S&J and would not hesitate to recommend them. They are absolute professionals and a brilliant example of a specialist family-run company, who really care about the work they do and how they conduct their business. My sincerest thanks, to all the S&J team.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ S&J Roofing Bath recently carried out work on my property and I couldn’t be happier with the result. The workmanship was exceptional, and the communication was excellent from the moment I first made an enquiry right through to the finished project. Everything was handled professionally, the work was completed to a very high standard, and I was kept informed throughout the whole process. Highly recommend!

S&J re-roofed our Grade I listed roof with real expertise and professionalism. The project could genuinely not have gone any better. The attention to detail of tricky construction interfaces showed real care and the weekly progress updates kept us informed along the whole process. Thanks to Lee and the whole S&J team to a tricky job very well done.

What an amazing experience dealing with Lee and his team at S&J Roofing in Bath. Not only were they responsive from the first contact but kept me in the loop on every aspect of the tricky historical roof. Which they repaired, with like for like materials and even went above and beyond by going to a reclamation yard to get historical coping stones that had been broken by the previous roofers. My new neighbours have all commented on how professional his team were and have all told me they filed away S&J’s contact details, As they wouldn’t think of using any other roofing company in Bath. Their work is simply superb And I wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend them to anybody. Thank you, Lee and the team. ❤️

Great workmanship from this company with before and after videos provided. Constant communication throughout the process so we knew exactly what was happening. Did a great job from start to finish and would use them again without hesitation. In fact I wouldn’t use anyone else for roofing work!

Tiled Roofing FAQs

How long should a tiled roof last uk?

In the UK, a tiled roof should typically last 50 to 70 years for concrete tiles and 60 to 100 years for high-quality clay tiles. Lifespan depends on installation quality, weather exposure, and ongoing maintenance. Regular inspections help maximise durability.

How to repair a tiled roof?

Tiled roof repairs typically involve:

  • Replacing cracked or slipped tiles
  • Re-bedding ridge tiles
  • Fixing damaged underlay or battens

While minor tile replacements can be straightforward, professional repairs ensure the roof remains watertight and structurally sound. S&J Bath offers tiled roof repairs across Bath and surrounding areas.

How can I tell if my tiled roof needs replacing?

Signs your tiled roof may need replacement include:

  • Frequent leaks
  • Large numbers of cracked tiles
  • Sagging roof lines
  • Deteriorated underlay

A professional inspection can determine whether repair or full replacement is the best solution. If you think you need roof repairs or a full roof replacement get in touch with our expert team today.

Do tiled roofs need maintenance?

Yes, although tiled roofs are low maintenance, they should be inspected every few years. Common maintenance includes replacing cracked tiles, checking ridge mortar, and clearing debris from valleys and gutters.

What is the minimum pitch for a tiled roof?

The minimum pitch for a tiled roof usually ranges between 17.5° and 22.5°, depending on the tile type and manufacturer specifications. Installing tiles below the recommended pitch can lead to water ingress. A professional roofer will assess your roof angle before installation. Get in touch with us at S&J Roofing Bath if you need your roof assessed by trusted roofing experts.

Is it cheaper to slate or tile a roof?

In most cases, tiled roofing is cheaper than natural slate roofing. Concrete and clay tiles are more affordable in terms of materials and installation. However, slate can last longer, making it a higher upfront investment but potentially better long-term value.

How to fit a Velux window to a tiled roof?

Fitting a Velux window to a tiled roof involves:

  • Measuring and marking the opening
  • Removing tiles and cutting the roof structure
  • Installing the window frame
  • Adding flashing kits designed for tiled roofs
  • Re-fitting surrounding tiles

Because the installation affects structural integrity and waterproofing, it should always be completed by experienced roofing professionals. Get in touch with S&J Roofing today and our team of experts can offer personalised advice.

What are the different types of roof tiles?

The most common types of roof tiles in the UK include:

  • Concrete roof tiles
  • Clay roof tiles
  • Interlocking tiles
  • Plain tiles

Each type varies in appearance, lifespan, and cost. Our experts at S&J Roofing Bath can recommend the best roofing material options based on your property style and budget.

Are clay or concrete roof tiles better?

Clay tiles typically last longer, around 50 -100 years, and retain their colour better over time. Concrete tiles are more affordable and durable but may fade faster. Concrete tiles typically last around 50- 70 years. The best option depends on your budget and the look you want to achieve.
