Roofing materials explained
An overview of common pitched and flat roof coverings used on UK properties.
Concrete tiles
A widely used, practical covering available in many profiles and colours.
Clay tiles
A traditional look that suits many older properties. Plain clay tiles are common on period homes.
Slate
Natural slate gives a classic finish; man-made slates offer a similar appearance with different characteristics.
GRP fibreglass (flat roofs)
A seamless resin and glass-fibre system with a coloured topcoat, popular for extensions and garages.
Choosing the right material
Roof pitch, weight, planning considerations, appearance and budget all affect the choice. A roofer can advise on what suits your roof.
