Quality British made lightweight roofing tiles for DIY roofing or trade

“ I had been looking for a few years for a new roof for my conservatory as it was too hot in summer and too cold in winter to use. I had had quotes over £11,000 for a new complete roof, removing the glass, which I thought was pointless. The glass acts as insulation and would be a huge waste of money because it would of been just thrown in the bin.

Being a Mechanical Engineer, I worked out that if I could find something lightweight and looked like the roof fitted to my house, it would be a great idea for the new roof. The weight loading for the conservatory was worked out to withstand the extra load of a few feet of snow, turned to ice, so I knew the extra weight of a lightweight roofing system would be fine.

I found Light Weight Tiles, http://www.lightweighttiles.co.uk/ by chance, on searching the net. When I saw that the tiles weighed in at 6 kg per square metre, I knew they were not a problem for my conservatory and with the choice of different finishes, I was able (having purchased the sample pack) to choose a tiles that matched my house roof.

I could of fitted the tiles myself but felt it was a better idea to use one of their recommended fitters.

After striking a great deal with the fitters, they came and did the job. It only took 6 hours to do my 28 square metre conservatory and it looked fantastic. I did have the inside done at the same time with simple white panelled pvc covering, which helped with deflect ting the light and finished the job off perfect.

I am so pleased with the finished roof and it has made our conservatory useable all year round.

I would highly recommend Light Weight Tiles to anyone wanting a simple, cheap and beautiful way to turn their conservatory into a useable room.

And the added bonus is, the tiles are made from recycled materials. ”

“ 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 Susan. Just wanted to let you know that I’ve finished the Customer's job. We are both very pleased with the roof and how it looks. As a joiner you come across different materials and ideas and I have to say yours was a pleasure to fit. The calculations of the amount of gear we needed, as done by yourself, was bob on and I had no waste. I will certainly use the tiles again and advise others to as well. Many thanks ”
