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.

Georgian Roof Tiles
The longevity of our Georgian roof tiles
One of the main advantages of flat tile roofs covered in our Georgian roof tiles is their exceptional longevity and durability. When properly installed and maintained, our Georgian roof tiles can last for several decades, with some materials lasting for over fifty to one hundred years or more.
Our clay Georgian roof tiles are world renowned for their longevity, with life spans averaging up to a century or more under optimal conditions. Concrete tiles can also offer good durability, with life spans of up to fifty years. Slate tiles tend to be the most durable option, capable of lasting for a century or more with minimal maintenance. Slate is a natural, yet finite resource, which is another reason why they are so expensive in the first place.
Composite tiles, while relatively new to the market, are designed to offer long-term performance comparable to natural materials, with life spans reaching up to fifty years. Regular inspections, maintenance, and prompt repairs can help extend the lifespan of flat tile roofs and ensure optimal performance over time.
If you have had our Georgian roof tiles fitted to your property, the following procedures will ensure you will be able to enjoy them for a very long time to come.
Some maintenance tips for Georgian roof tiles
Proper maintenance is absolutely vital to preserve the beauty of our Georgian roof tiles and also to maximize their lifespan. By following a few simple tips, you will be able to get the best return on investment on your Georgian roof tiles.
Regular inspections are key to a long life of your Georgian roof tiles
Now, these inspections don't mean that you have to hire someone every month to climb up onto your roof to inspect your Georgian roof tiles. An annual inspection by a qualified roofing professional to assess the condition of your Georgian roof tiles, and to identify any issues, and address them promptly will be all that you need to do.
Many professionals now save you the cost of scaffolding hire by using high tech drones to inspect the roof.
Cleaning guttering can also help maintain your Georgian roof tiles
Ensuring that gutters and drainage systems are free from debris such as leaves and other obstructions to prevent any water build up that could potentially damage the Georgian roof tiles is very important.
Periodically remove debris, such as leaves, branches, and dirt, from the surface of the roof to prevent moisture retention and potential mould or algae growth. Some people actually like the build up of lichens, moss and algae, as they think it enhances the patina of the Georgian roof tiles, making them look naturally weathered. A small accumulation is fine, but this will build up year on year, eventually compromising the effectiveness of the Georgian roof tiles.
Trim back overhanging tree branches to prevent them from rubbing against the surface or causing damage to your Georgian roof tiles.
A stitch in time saves nine!
If you notice any cracked, broken, or dislodged Georgian roof tiles, or signs of water infiltration, such as stains or leaks, contact a roofing professional to assess and repair the damage as quickly as possible.
If the roof has to be accessed, always use a professional and ensure they use crawling boards, as flat Georgian roof tiles can be fragile and prone to breakage if subjected to heavy foot traffic. The last thing you want is your Georgian roof tiles to be damaged by someone walking on the roof.
Keep your Georgian roof tiles as clean as possible
We don't recommend pressure washing, as this can dislodge your Georgian roof tiles. Periodic professional cleaning and maintenance can help remove stubborn stains, algae growth, or mineral deposits, restoring the appearance and performance of your Georgian roof tiles. The market is awash, pun intended, with many different spray and leave solutions. Some are just that, spray and leave and the cleaning action continue to work over time, while others require rinsing off after a few minutes. These are often high bleach content products, so car should be taken with pets until the residue is fully washed away and the area dry.
Stick to these few simple practices and your Georgian roof tiles will serve you well for many years to come.
