“ 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! ”

“ Your tiles are so easy to install, and quick too! I have been surprised by how easy they have been to work with. ”

“ We wanted a covered patio area and discovered the website. The tiles are light and were put up in just a few hours compared with a couple of days for concrete tiles. The infrastructure is a lot lighter and the whole project was completed far quicker than if we had used conventional tiles.
Result, very noticeable reduction in solar heating on sunny days, retains heat better when heated on cool days, and is much quieter, rain and road noise greatly reduced. Had a bit of a struggle with the Ubiflex, found it to be ‘floppier’ than traditional lead, more difficult to feed a long length into slot cut in mortar. Once in place, Ubiflex sealants worked well, and it was easy to mould the flashing to fit the tiles. ”

“ 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. ”

“ Having recently purchased your lightweight tiles I wanted to say how pleased I am with the result.
I set battens in between the existing glazing bars leaving the polycarbonate roof in place. This left less of a drop into the gutter.
Your products are excellent and straightforward to fit.
I attach some before and after shots to show the vast improvement.
Kind regards
