Tiled Roof Repairs and Re-Tiling in Hitchin

Clay tiles weather to a warm, varied colour that suits many older streets, and plain tiles give a fine, textured finish. When part of a roof like that needs work, keeping its look matters. TNR Roofing Services repairs and re-tiles roofs in Hitchin in clay, plain and concrete tiles, matching existing tiles as closely as current products allow.

Tiled roofs across SG4 and SG5 are surveyed and repaired from our base in Hemel Hempstead. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, North Hertfordshire District Council can tell you what is expected of a new covering, and we can advise on tiles that keep the roof looking right for the house.

What's included

Our Tiled Roof Services in Hitchin

The main parts of the job, each listed in your quote.

  • Cracked, slipped or missing tiles replaced and matched to your roof as closely as current products allow.
  • Concrete interlocking tiles laid where a durable covering at a sensible cost is the priority.
  • Clay and plain tiles fitted where the building's age or a conservation setting calls for a traditional finish.
  • Worn tiles, perished felt and tired battens stripped, with new underlay and battens fixed at the gauge the tile needs.
  • Ridge and hip tiles refixed or renewed and valleys formed so the joins between slopes shed water cleanly.
  • Rafters checked before re-tiling, and strengthened where a heavier tile is going on.

Pricing

What Drives the Cost of a Hitchin Tiled Roof

Several factors set the price of tiled roof work in Hitchin, and we assess each at the survey:

  • The tile chosen, as concrete interlocking tiles usually cost less to buy and lay than clay or plain tiles
  • How many tiles are needed per square metre, since small plain tiles take far more pieces and fixings
  • 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
  • The length of ridges, hips and valleys, plus abutments against walls and chimneys that need flashing

How it works

What Happens During Hitchin Tiled Roof Work

What happens from your first call to the finished work.

  1. Free Tiled Roof Survey

    We look at the tiles, ridges, hips and valleys, measure the pitch and check the rafters and battens, so the quote is based on the whole roof and not only the damage you can see.

  2. Repair or Re-Tile Quote

    You get a no-obligation quote that says plainly if a repair will do or a re-tile is due, with our advice on concrete, clay or plain tiles for your roof and budget.

  3. Tiling the Roof

    For a re-tile, the old covering comes off, the roof is kept covered while open, new underlay and battens go on, and tiles are laid from the eaves up with ridges, hips, valleys and flashings formed.

  4. Final Review

    Old tiles and battens are cleared from site, then we review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my old tiles are no longer made?

Some older tile designs have been discontinued. In that case we look for the closest match in profile and colour, and explain the options before any work starts so you can decide what you are happy with.

Are clay tiles worth the extra cost?

Clay tiles cost more than concrete but hold their colour well and suit older properties and conservation settings. On a modern home, concrete interlocking tiles may be the more sensible choice. We give you an honest view for your Hitchin property.

Why do plain tiles need a steeper roof?

Plain tiles rely on a generous overlap rather than interlocking edges to keep water out, so they need a steeper minimum pitch than most interlocking tiles. We measure your pitch at the survey before recommending a tile.

Can you tile an extension to match the main house?

Yes. We choose tiles that match the profile and colour of the main roof as closely as current products allow, and check the extension pitch suits the tile before we start.
