Tile Roofing in Ascot
Tiles cover the majority of roofs in and around Ascot, from small clay plain tiles on older houses to large concrete interlockings on post-war estates. Each profile has its own fixing pattern, minimum pitch and detailing requirements.
We lay and repair tiled roofs to those requirements, using dry-fix systems at ridge, hip and verge where it will reduce future maintenance.

Local context
Tile Roofing in Ascot
Clay plain tiles are common on older Ascot and Winkfield properties, while much of the later housing around Bracknell and North Ascot uses concrete interlocking tiles. Matching what is already there matters when only part of a roof is being renewed.
