Things to consider before buying

  • Check profile, size and colour against the existing roof before ordering, especially for repairs and extensions.
  • Gauge, headlap and overlap affect both coverage and roof pitch suitability.
  • Tile / slate coverage can change with roof pitch, exposure and fixing method, so allow for waste, cuts and breakages.
  • Confirm the correct fixings, battens, underlay, ridge and verge components for the roof system.
  • Colours and finishes can vary between batches and may weather over time, especially with clay and natural slate products.
