What tiled roofing should give you
Tiles matched to the roof
Pitch, profile and weight are considered before any tiled system is specified.
Junctions finished properly
Valleys, ridges and penetrations are detailed to keep rain moving the right way.
Consistent final appearance
Compatible tiles help repairs and renewals sit neatly across the whole slope.
Tiles selected to suit the roof, not fashion
Tiles need to suit the roof they are going on, not just the colour of the brickwork. The pitch, tile profile, covering weight, weather exposure and overall appearance all affect which system makes sense and how it should be fixed. In Banbury, we work on tiled roofs for new projects, repairs and wider renewal, dealing with faults such as cracked or slipped tiles, worn fixings, failed ridges, defective underlay and deteriorated battens. With LG ROOFING & UPVC LTD, tiled roofing is specified and repaired with the whole slope in mind.
Neat setting out and sound roof details
Good tile work depends on accurate setting out, proper overlap, secure mechanical fixing, ventilation and sound detailing around valleys, hips and penetrations. Choosing LG ROOFING & UPVC LTD means we look at whether isolated tile replacement will restore protection or whether the roof has enough widespread wear to justify more extensive re-tiling. Using compatible tiles and finishing the junctions neatly helps the roof shed rain properly and avoids the patchwork look that tells its own story after a repair.
Frequently asked questions
Can a few cracked tiles be replaced on their own?
Yes, if the damage is local and the rest of the roof is still sound. We still check the surrounding tiles, fixings, underlay and battens, because one cracked tile can be a sign of movement or wear nearby. The best repair is the one that restores the whole area, not just the visible gap.
What decides which tiles are right for a roof?
The roof pitch, tile profile, structural loading, weather exposure and the appearance of the property all help decide that. Clay tiles are one option for new roof work, but the important thing is choosing a covering that suits the slope, fixes securely and works well with the rest of the roof details.
Why do tiled roof ridges start failing?
Ridges can fail through age, weather exposure, worn bedding, movement in the roof or weak fixings. Once the ridge line starts breaking down, water and wind can work into other parts of the roof. That is why ridge faults should be checked early rather than left to spread along the top of the slope.
