Tiled Roofs
Tiled Roofs from Oakcrest Roofing
Concrete interlocking tiles cover a large share of post-war and modern houses, while clay plain tiles and pantiles turn up on older and character properties. Each type has its own minimum pitch, headlap and fixing pattern, and getting those details wrong is a common reason tiled roofs leak long before the tiles themselves wear out. We work to the manufacturer's requirements for the tile you choose, which keeps any product guarantee valid.
Re-tiling makes sense when the tiles have become porous, lost their surface, or are held on by corroded nails and perished underlay. Sound tiles can often be reclaimed for small repairs elsewhere, or we can offer a close match from current ranges so the roof sits comfortably next to the neighbours. You get samples where the colour matters, and a written quote that names the exact tile.

The process
How we carry out tiled roofs
From the first look at the roof to the final clear-up, this is how the job runs.
- 1
Step 1 of 4
Tile and pitch check
We measure the pitch, identify the existing tile and confirm whether a like-for-like or alternative tile suits the roof.
- 2
Step 2 of 4
Strip and prepare
Old tiles and battens are removed, timbers inspected and photographed, and breathable membrane laid over the rafters.
- 3
Step 3 of 4
Batten and lay
Battens are set to the gauge the chosen tile needs, then tiles are laid from the eaves up, with clips and nails to the fixing schedule.

Step 4 of 4
Finish the edges
Ridges, hips, verges and abutments are completed, valleys lined, and gutters cleared of debris before we leave.
Why choose us
Why homeowners choose Oakcrest for tiled roofs
A written price first
You get an itemised quote before any work starts, so you know what you are paying for and nothing changes once the scaffold is up.
Photos of what we find
We photograph the parts of the roof you cannot see from the ground, so you can judge the problem for yourself rather than take our word for it.
Repair or replace, honestly
If a repair will see the roof through, that is what we quote. When a roof is at the end of its life we tell you, so you can plan instead of paying twice.
Tidy sites, waste removed
Your garden, drive and windows are protected while we work, and every old tile, batten and offcut leaves with us at the end of the job.
Pricing
What affects the cost of tiled roofs
A tiled roof is priced on a few key points:
- Concrete or clay tile, and the specific range chosen
- Roof area and the number of hips, valleys and abutments
- Whether any existing tiles can be reused
- Ridge and verge finish: mortar bedded or dry fixed
No hidden extras
Scaffold and waste in the price

Aerial inspections
Drone roof surveys
Our drone roof survey and aerial inspection service provides an instant, efficient and safe way to assess the condition of your roof. Using HD drones, we capture detailed images and videos of hard-to-reach areas, identifying potential issues like leaks, cracks, and structural damage.
This non-invasive method reduces risks and disruption and results in accurate data without the need for roof ladders or expensive scaffolding. Ideal for residential, commercial or industrial properties, this service ensures thorough, cost-effective inspections every time.
We advise that you get your roof professionally surveyed every 2-3 years to keep up with any potential damage and early signs of wear and tear. If we catch minor repairs early, they will not become a more serious problem in the future.
