Conservation Roof Tiles
Conservation roof tiles for strength and durability
The aesthetic appeal and unique appearance of handmade conservation roof tiles are unmatched. Each tile in our conservation roof tiles range has its own character, with very slight variations that add to its charm and authenticity. The naturally earthy colours and natural variations in tone create a visually appealing and a very organic looking roof that adds character to any building. Homeowners and architects have appreciated the individuality and artistic end result that is achieved by handcrafted conservation roof tiles for many years.
What makes our conservation roof tiles so durable?
The traditional firing process used in crafting our conservation roof tiles results in a very dense and strong end product that lasts for many years. This enhanced strength allows them to withstand the United Kingdom's harsh weather elements, such as heavy rain, extreme temperatures, and high winds, without losing any of their aesthetic appeal.
Our conservation roof tiles give you a roof like no other
Handmade conservation roof tiles have distinct advantages in craftsmanship, quality, aesthetics, and durability over machine made roof tiles. While machine made tiles provide efficiency and uniformity, the artistry and unique characteristics of handcrafted conservation roof tiles make them a far superior choice for those who want a bespoke and long lasting roof for their property.
We adhere to tradition with our conservation roof tiles
Traditional craftsmanship is a key aspect that sets handmade conservation roof tiles apart from the rest. Skilled craftsmen meticulously shape each tile by hand, paying attention to even the smallest of details. This handmade crafting of a natural product results in roof tiles with very subtle variations, giving roofs a rich texture and depth that machines cannot replicate. The level of dedication and precision put into crafting each one of our conservation roof tiles ensures a higher level of quality and craftsmanship.
Our conservation roof tiles are better for the environment
Our handmade conservation roof tiles also have a distinct environmental advantage. The use of natural clay materials will keep our carbon footprint associated with the production process to a minimum. Our conservation roof tiles are free from harmful chemicals and pollutants, making them eco-friendly compared to machine-made alternatives that often involve synthetic materials, colourings and energy intensive manufacturing techniques.
So, hand-made conservation roof tiles offer superior craftsmanship, a unique look and feel, unparalleled durability, and environmental benefits over machine made roof tiles. Their individuality, visual appeal, and long-lasting quality make them a superb choice for those who value authenticity, beauty, and sustainability in their lives. With handcrafted conservation roof tiles, you can enjoy a roof that is a testament to the timeless skill and practicality of traditional construction methods.

A little information about Suffolk
Suffolk Pink for Suffolk buildings
Villages and towns throughout the county of Suffolk are renowned for historic pink-washed halls and cottages, which has become known far and wide as "Suffolk Pink". Decorative paint colours found in Suffolk can range from a pale shell shade, to a deep blush brick colour.
According to considerable research, the use of Suffolk Pink dates back to the 14th century, where these shades were developed by local dyers by adding natural substances to a traditional limewash mix. Additives used in this process include pig or ox blood with buttermilk, elderberries and sloe juice.
Suffolk Pink: Get it right or repaint it!
Well informed local people and historians often state that a true Suffolk Pink should be a "deep dusky terracotta shade", rather than the more popular pastel hue seen today on many Suffolk buildings. This has caused controversy in the past when home and business-owners alike have been reprimanded for using colours deemed incorrect, with some being forced to repaint their property with an acceptable shade of paint. In 2013, famous chef Marco Pierre White had his 15th century hotel, The Angel, in Lavenham, decorated a shade of pink that was not traditional Suffolk Pink. He was required by local authorities to repaint it at his own expense.
Suffolk Pink: More than just a colour
To demonstrate how Suffolk takes its colours so seriously, a home-owner in Lavenham had to paint their Grade 1 listed cottage Suffolk Pink, to make it match a neighbouring property. The local council said it wanted all of the cottages on that particular part of the road to be the same colour, because they were originally a single building three hundred years earlier.
County landmarks that are painted Suffolk Pink include the cottages in front of St Mary's Church in the village of Cavendish.
The historic Suffolk Pink colour has also inspired the name of a British apple.
