Quality British made lightweight roofing tiles for DIY roofing or trade

“ After finishing the shed roof, I of course had some offcuts and spare tiles.

Working 5 days per week, so has been a Sunday afternoon project over the past 2 months, but so far, one Bird Table (or Cat Entertainment Center) for the front garden and an all weather Cat Pagoda for the back garden. ”

“ This old building in our garden is known to us as the Ranch House. It is known to be at least 75 years old and may well be more. The roof in particular was falling apart, it was covered in corrugated bitumen sheeting which was well past its used by date. We had two choices; demolish it or renovate it. We decided to renovate but felt that it deserved something better than corrugated sheeting on the roof. This was why we selected Lightweight Tiles after several email exchanges with Laura and Susan plus going to meet Laura at the Renovation Show in Birmingham.

The hard part was completely rebuilding the roof structure as we decided to change the pitch of the roof. Fitting the tiles was easy. Two of us fitted 70 tiles on the long side in 5 hours which included a leisurely lunch and several cups of tea. I fitted the remaining 30 on the other side on my own in about the same time. I have one tip though, it is worth drilling a small pilot hole for each screw, you can then fit the screws much more neatly.

We are very pleased with the transformation, I keep going down the garden to look at it! ”

“ Hi, please see photos of the transformation of my garage, using lightweight tiles. My house was built in the 1930s, when the building standards were not as stringent as today’s. The garage was literally in a state of collapse, due to the sheer weight of the roof, spreading the walls apart.
I discovered your product online and it was the perfect answer to the problem.
I didn’t employ a bricklayer; my brother-in-law and I carried out all the work and I’m extremely happy with the result.
The reduction in weight, compared to conventional tile, solves the problem of the walls being put under stress and I’m sure that the new roof will last for a long time to come.
The service that I got from your company was amazing, especially so, as we were in the middle of the Pandemic. I particularly want to thank Susan, for super customer service, when so many companies seem unable to function normally, due to the Pandemic. ”
