“ 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! ”

“ Good Evening.
I thought you might like to see some of the sheds in my garden that have been re-roofed with your lightweight tiles. In some of the pictures, you can see how use has been made of your eaves guard as a sill for the glazing units.
You have a first class product and I would recommend it, At 75 years old I was able to re-roof all of the sheds my self as they are so light and easy to use. As you can see there is one more shed to be done, and with a few leftovers from the other sheds, I was able to make a shelter for the robo mower!
A pleasure to do business with you all.
Regards, ”

“ Hi Amanda
I just wanted to let you know that I contacted Garry Probert re fitting tiles etc. He and his brilliant team have done a fantastic job of renovating a workshop and putting your tiles on the roof. It looks great and the colour of the tiles match in well with my house roof tiles.
Many thanks for all your help.
Best wishes
Jackie

“ The materials a joy to work with, so long as you adhere to the fitting instructions on small planets website you can not go wrong. The tiles slot together effortlessly. And the overall finished job looks stunning. Shortly after I had finished the job the heavens opened with hail stones. I was stood in the conservatory and barely heard a thing. Thank you to all personal whom I spoke to when purchasing the materials. You were all very helpful. Looking forward to summer now in our transformed conservatory! ”
