Tile roofing remains a timeless and durable choice for residential homes and heritage buildings across London. Combining traditional charm with exceptional longevity, tile roofs offer not only aesthetic appeal but also robust protection against the UK’s unpredictable weather.
Unlike modern synthetic materials, clay and concrete roof tiles provide natural thermal insulation, helping to regulate indoor temperatures year-round. Their high resistance to wind, rain, and frost ensures minimal maintenance and long-term reliability.
With various styles, colours, and finishes available, tile roofing can complement both period properties and more contemporary designs. It’s also a sustainable option—many tile materials are recyclable and have a lifespan of 50 years or more.
Whether you're restoring an older property or upgrading an existing tiled roof, hiring experienced tile roofers is essential. Certified professionals will ensure proper installation, structural safety, and full compliance with building regulations—ultimately preserving both the beauty and value of your home.

Often caused by impact (e.g. falling branches or foot traffic), cracked tiles can allow water to penetrate the underlayment
High winds, faulty installation, or age can cause tiles to move out of place, exposing the roof to water ingress.
Over time, damp tiles—especially in shaded areas—can accumulate moss or algae, which retains moisture and can degrade the tiles.
The mortar holding ridge or hip tiles can deteriorate, leading to loose tiles or water leakage at roof junctions.
Even a single broken tile can lead to significant leaks, particularly during heavy rain, compromising the roof’s structure.
The waterproof membrane beneath the tiles can degrade over time, especially if exposed due to slipped or missing tiles.

Common tile roof problems include cracked or slipped tiles, mortar deterioration, moss buildup, and underlayment failure. Regular inspections help catch these issues early before they lead to leaks or structural damage.

Preventing leaks starts with routine inspections, replacing cracked or missing tiles, and ensuring proper flashing and underlayment are in place. Annual maintenance can help extend the life of your tile roof.
