What are the best tiles for my roof?

Customers often ask what are the best tiles for their roof? Well, it all depends on your requirements and budget. The most cost effective tiles are generally concrete tiles which have a lifespan of around 60 years which makes them a popular choice with homeowners. What’s more, they provide performance and durability.


Clay roof tiles are often chosen because of their looks and durability. A new roof made from clay tiles can last around 90 years or more. Clay tiles are heavy which means that your roof supports must be able to take their weight. Our roofing experts can advise on this.


Natural slate tiles are one of the longest lasting roofing materials and have been known to last up to 200 years provided the roof has been well maintained. However, slate is a more expensive option and is also heavier than other rofing materials which can limit where it can be installed.

We deliver quality flat roofing solutions

Leicestershire's flat roof specialists Tradewise offer a range of quality flat roof solutions for all requirements and budgets. Traditional felt applied with hot bitumen remains one of the most common types of flat roof materials in use today. That’s because it is the most cost-effective flat roofing solution, certainly in the short term. A professionally installed felt roof can last between 15 to 25 years or so before needing to be replaced. However, if you are looking for a longer lasting flat roof alternative, Tradewise also install rubber and fibreglass flat roofing. Both rubber and fibreglass are highly water resistant, fibreglass is used on boats for that reason. Both have a lifespan more than double that of traditional felt, so whilst it more expensive than felt, it works out more cost effective over the longer term. Not sure which material to choose for your flat roof? Ask our professional roofing team. They’ll be happy to advise on the best flat roofing solution for your needs and your budget. Ask for a free, no-obligation quote today.

Like your roof, chimneys are especially vulnerable to storm damage especially older chimneys where the mortar has started to deteriorate with age. Repointing the mortar cement between the bricks of the stack and which holds in place the chimney pots is something which should be done every 15 to 20 years or so.
