Bat Tiles:
Provide help for our bats with our range of bat friendly roof tiles.
Did you know that all UK bats and their roosts are protected by law? The Wildlife and Countryside Act introduced in 1981, gave legal protection to all bat species and their roosts in England.
Distinct species of bats prefer differing places to roost. The two most usually found species of bat in the UK are the Pipistrelle and Brown Long-Eared Bat. Pipistrelle prefer confined spaces such as under tiles on roofs and hanging spaces. The Brown Long-Eared Bat prefer roof timbers and ridges inside lofts. Heritage Clay Tiles can provide purpose made access points within your roof tiles or ridge tiles. The Bat Tile Set can form part of a mitigation package required by law for existing roosts or as potential access where a roost had not previously been present.

Conservation Roof Tiles
Conservation roof tiles in a dark finish
The conservation roof tiles in a dark finish remain a firm favourite with our customers.
The beautifully darker hues that are present in our conservation roof tiles lend themselves perfectly to so many different applications. The conservation roof tiles can be perfectly at home on the main roof or vertically hung on the side of a building or a bay window.
The gorgeous darker hues of this conservation roof tile looks particularly good on the more rustic properties. Farm houses in particular are often clad in these attractive roof tiles.
A darker conservation roof tile
Although none of our conservation roof tiles are bright in colour, some customers just desire a darker hue to their handmade roof tile.
Like our red and weathered conservation roof tiles, the dark version is just as beautiful and robust.
The dark conservation roof tiles are handmade, incredibly durable and carry a fifty year guarantee for your added peace of mind.
The dark conservation roof tiles have a very pleasing fine sandy texture that will make any property stand out from the crowd.
Increase your curb appeal with dark conservation roof tiles
A new roof clad in dark conservation roof tiles can dramatically change the appearance of your home. Over time, roofing materials can fade, become discoloured, or show signs of wear and tear. A fresh, new roof brings a clean, look to your home, making it stand out from other properties in the vicinity.
A new roof covered in dark conservation roof tiles can significantly increase your home's market value. Potential buyers often see a new roof as a major selling point, as it means one less expense they will have to worry about in the future. Homeowners can expect to recoup a substantial portion of their roofing investment when they sell their home. This makes a new roof not only a practical upgrade but also a very sound financial decision.
A new roof will also provide far better protection against the elements than an old one. Our dark conservation roof tiles are resistant to wind, rain, hail, and other weather conditions that batter properties, particularly here in the United Kingdom, ensuring your home stays safe and dry. This improved durability can give you peace of mind, knowing that your roof can withstand harsh weather and protect your home from potential water damage, leaks, and structural issues.
So, if you are in the market for a new roof, consider the dark conservation roof tiles as the perfect way of achieving a high quality roof that will not only look amazing, add to your properties curb appeal, but last for generation.
A little information about Buckinghamshire
High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire
The Buckinghamshire town once had a Roman villa which has been excavated three times, most recently in 1954. Mosaics and a bathhouse were unearthed at the site on what is now the Rye parkland. The name Wycombe would appear to come from the river Wye and the old English word for a wooded valley, "combe", but according to the Oxford English Dictionary of Place-Names the name, which was first recorded in 799-802 as "Wichama", is more likely to be Old English "wic" and the plural of Old English "ham", and probably means "dwellings"; the name of the river was a late back-formation. Wycombe appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 and was noted for having six mills.
The existence of a settlement at High Wycombe was first recorded as 'Wicumun' in 970. The parish church was consecrated by Wulfstan, the visiting Bishop of Worcester, in 1086. The town was described as a borough from at least the 1180s, and built its first moot hall in 1226, with a market hall being built later in 1476.
Buckinghamshire mill trade was strong in High Wycombe
The Buckinghamshire town remained a mill town through Medieval and Tudor times, manufacturing lace and linen cloth. It was also a stopping point on the way from Oxford to London, with many travellers staying in the town's taverns and inns. The journey would have been fraught with danger, as footpads and other villains carried out their illegal activities along this busy route
The paper industry was notable in 17th and 18th century High Wycombe. The Wye's waters were rich in chalk, and therefore ideal for bleaching paper pulp. The paper industry was soon to be overtaken by the cloth industry.
The Buckinghamshire town's most famous industry was furniture, with particularly attention going to the Windsor chairs that were built in the town. Many terraced workers' houses were built to the east and west of town to accommodate those working in the furniture factories. In 1875, it was estimated that there were nearly five thousand chairs made per day in High Wycombe. When Queen Victoria visited the Buckinghamshire town in 1877, the council organised an arch of chairs to be erected over the High Street, with the words "Long live the Queen" printed boldly across the arch for the Queen to pass under. Wycombe Museum includes many examples of locally made chairs and information on the local furniture and lace industries.
The Buckinghamshire town takes an downturn
By the 1920s, many of the housing areas of Wycombe had aged badly and decayed into slums. A clearance scheme was initiated by Buckinghamshire council in 1932, whereby many areas were completely demolished and the residents rehoused in new estates that were situated above the town on the valley slopes. Some of the districts that were demolished were in a very poor state of repair, with one such area being Newland, where most of the houses were condemned as unfit for human habitation. However, some areas such as St. Mary's Street contained beautiful old buildings with fine examples of 18th and 19th century architecture. The new houses lifted the area and made it desirable to live in once again.
The RAF in Buckinghamshire
From 1940 to 1968 High Wycombe was the seat of the RAF Bomber Command. Moreover, during the Second World War, from May 1942 to July 1945, the U.S. Army Air Force's 8th Air Force Bomber Command, codenamed "Pinetree", was based at a former girls' school at High Wycombe. This formally became Headquarters, 8th Air Force, on 22 February 1944.
In the 1960s the Buckinghamshire town centre was redeveloped. This involved culverting the River Wye under concrete and demolishing most of the old buildings in Wycombe's town centre. Two shopping centres were built along with many new multi-storey car parks, office blocks, flyovers and roundabouts. To this day however, the hill that leads down into the Buckinghamshire town of High Wycombe remains incredibly steep and has led to some of the more faint hearted motorists refusing to drive down to the centre of town.
