Tiled roof refurbishment in the UK.
Tiled roof refurbishment in the UK.
Tiled roof refurbishment in the UK encompasses a broad range of applications - from small-scale domestic upgrades to large heritage or conservation projects where planning and technical accuracy are critical. Clay and concrete tiles dominate the market, with traditional handmade clay tiles often specified for listed buildings and properties within conservation areas to maintain historic character. Larger-scale refurbishments, such as those on schools, churches, or estate housing, present logistical and technical challenges around access, sequencing, and maintaining watertightness throughout the works. Achieving compliance with current fixing specifications is essential - BS 5534 outlines modern standards for mechanical fixing, tile overlap, batten spacing, and underlay performance, all of which must be carefully coordinated with existing roof geometry. On heritage projects, this often involves blending traditional craftsmanship with discreet modern interventions to meet both aesthetic and structural requirements. Attention to detail in verge, ridge, and eaves detailing, along with proper ventilation and load considerations, ensures that refurbished tiled roofs meet today’s expectations for durability, performance, and visual integrity.
