Clay Roof Tiles in Hampshire
Clay Roof Tiles
Clay roof tiles have always been the perfect way to cover your roof. They keep the elements at bay and are a natural product. The longevity of good quality clay roof tiles is superb and they always look the part, enhancing the look of any property.
clay roof tiles from Heritage Clay Tiles Ltd are the perfect choice where the many benefits of a new clay tile is needed but with the great looks of a natural product that will only look better over the passage of time.
The textured finish will encourage lichen, thus speading up the weathering process without diminishing the strength or longevity of the product. This also helps the clay roof tiles to blend into the natural surroundings of the property. This is even more noticeable when our clay roof tiles are used in more rural settings where a weathered appearance is more desirable.
Our clay roof tiles really do have a wonderful character and are perfectly suited for use on projects such as barn conversions or mixing in with existing tiles on any other type of property.
Our clay roof tiles show a range of fantastic tones with subtle variation within each of our tiles. They can be used for new developments, just as much as the more traditional country properties.

A world famous Victorian, who became known as the lady with the lamp, returned home to Hampshire for her burial at East Wellow. She was better known as the nurse Florence Nightingale.
Florence Nightingale was an English social reformer, statistician and the founder of modern nursing. She came to prominence while serving as a manager and trainer of nurses during the Crimean War, in which she organised care for wounded soldiers. She gave nursing a favourable reputation and became an icon of Victorian culture whilst making her rounds by lamp light to care for the wounded soldiers at night.
