Tiled Roofs
Concrete, Clay and Plain Tile Roofing Explained
Tiles are the most common roof covering on houses across Hertfordshire, Hampshire and Surrey, and they come in more forms than most people expect. Concrete tiles, often interlocking, cover large areas quickly and are usually the most economical choice. Clay tiles weather to a warm, varied colour that suits many older streets. Plain tiles, small and flat, are laid in closely overlapping courses that give a fine, textured finish. Each type behaves differently once it is on the roof.
We re-roof and install new tiled roofs on homes, extensions and commercial premises from our base in Hemel Hempstead. The tile you choose affects the weight the rafters carry, the minimum pitch it can be laid at and how the roof sits beside its neighbours, so we discuss all three during a free survey. Concrete tiles commonly last several decades and good clay tiles often longer, although the underlay, battens and fixings matter as much as the tiles.

What's included
Our Tiled Roof Work in Detail
The main parts of the job, each listed in your quote.
- Stripping worn tiles, perished felt and tired battens so the new covering starts from sound rafters.
- Laying concrete interlocking tiles where a durable covering at a sensible cost is the priority.
- Fitting clay or plain tiles where the building's character or a conservation setting calls for a traditional finish.
- Setting out the batten gauge and tile courses so coverage stays even from the eaves to the ridge.
- Fixing ridge and hip tiles and forming valleys so the joins between slopes shed water cleanly.
- Replacing cracked or slipped tiles on an otherwise sound roof when a full re-tile is not needed.

Why choose us
Reasons to Choose TNR for a Tiled Roof
Concrete, Clay and Plain Tiles
We work with all three, so the recommendation follows your building, budget and street rather than a single product.
Timbers Checked Before Tiling
The free survey looks at rafters and battens, because a heavier tile or a tired structure changes what the roof needs.
Repairs as Well as Re-Roofs
If most of your tiles are sound, we say so and quote for repairing the failed areas instead of a complete re-tile.
Public Liability Cover in Place
TNR is fully insured and a vetted Checkatrade member, so you can check our standing before the scaffolding goes up.

Pricing
What Decides the Price of a Tiled Roof
Every tiled roof is priced after a free survey, and these are the points that move the figure most.
- The tile chosen, as concrete interlocking tiles usually cost less to buy and lay than clay or plain tiles.
- Tiles needed per square metre, since small plain tiles take many more pieces and fixings than large interlocking ones.
- The roof pitch, which limits the tiles that can be used and affects how quickly they can be laid safely.
- Any strengthening the rafters need if the new tiles are heavier than the old covering.
- Ridge, hip and valley lengths, plus abutments against walls and chimneys that need flashing.
The work
How a Tiled Roof Is Installed
The main stages of the job, from the first inspection to the final check.
Survey and Tile Selection
We measure the roof, check its pitch and timbers, and help you compare concrete, clay and plain tiles against the look and budget you have in mind.
Stripping Back and Battening
Once scaffolding is in place the old tiles come off, the roof is kept covered while it is open, and new underlay and battens are fixed at the gauge the chosen tile requires.
Tiling, Ridges and Valleys
Tiles are laid course by course from the eaves upwards, with ridges, hips and valleys formed and flashings fitted where the roof meets walls or a chimney.
Completion Review with You
When the old tiles and battens have been removed from site and the scaffolding is clear of debris, we review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.
