Clay Roof Tiles in Surrey
Clay Roof Tiles
The beautiful appearance and reputation of our clay roof tiles is well deserved. We manufacture and supply only the best clay roof tiles at Heritage Clay Tiles Ltd, we are well known in the roofing industry and we are market leaders for the simple reason that our clay roof tiles stand out as the best you can buy and at a very competitive price.
Our clay roof tiles will take on a fantastic weathered appearance that will only add to the aesthetic appeal of any property. Our clay roof tiles will allow your building project to blend in with the natural surroundings as time passes and the natural elements age and weather these wonderful natural clay roof tiles.
Some older properties just do not look quite right with brand new tiles. They can even ruin the overall look of the entire property too. Clay roof tiles sourced from us will only enhance the build with their natural patina, that will only improvewith the passage of time.
Nature is the key to a great looking clay roof tile, with a little help from quality materials and a sound manufacturing process. The slow and gradual build up of lichen on the clay roof tiles will just make them look even more attractive. Our clay roof tiles never look out of place on any property.
A little information about Surrey
The longest river to enter the county of Surrey is the Thames, which historically formed the boundary between the county and Middlesex. As a result of the 1965 boundary changes, many of the Surrey boroughs on the south bank of the river were transferred to Greater London, shortening the length associated with the county. The Thames now forms the Surrey and Berkshire border between Runnymede and Staines upon Thames, before flowing wholly within Surrey to Sunbury, from which point it marks the Surrey and Greater London border as far as Surbiton.
The River Wey is the longest tributary of the Thames. Other tributaries of the Thames with their courses partially in Surrey include the Mole, the Addlestone branch and Chertsey branch of the River Bourne, and the Hogsmill River, which drains Epsom and Ewell. The upper reaches of the River Eden, a tributary of the Medway, are in Tandridge District, in east Surrey. The River Colne and its anabranch, the Wraysbury River, make a brief appearance in the north of the county to join the Thames at Staines.
A little history about Surrey
Ancient British and Roman periods
Before Roman times the area today known as Surrey was probably largely occupied by the Atrebates tribe, centred at Calleva Atrebatum, which is now Silchester in the modern county of Hampshire, but eastern parts of it may have been held by the Cantiaci, based largely in Kent. The Atrebates are known to have controlled the southern bank of the Thames from Roman texts describing the tribal relations between them and the powerful Catuvellauni on the north bank.
In about AD 42 King Cunobelinus of the Catuvellauni died and war broke out between his sons and King Verica of the Atrebates. The Atrebates were defeated, their capital captured and their lands made subject to Togodumnus, king of the Catuvellauni, ruling from Camulodunum, now the town of Colchester. Verica fled to Gaul and appealed for Roman assistance. The Atrebates were allied with Rome during the invasion of Britain in AD 43.
During the Roman era, the only important settlement within the historic area of Surrey was the London suburb of Southwark, which is now part of Greater London, but there were small towns at Staines, Ewell, Dorking, Croydon and Kingston upon Thames. Remains of Roman rural temples have been excavated on Farley Heath and near Wanborough and Titsey, and possible temple sites at Chiddingfold, Betchworth and Godstone. The area was traversed by Stane Street and other Roman roads.
