Handmade Clay Tiles in Buckinghamshire
Handmade Clay Tiles
Why are handmade roof tiles more expensive?
A handmade roof tile will typically cost up to fifty percent more than its machine-made counterpart but will in return offer more shape, texture and colour variation. The benefits of a handmade clay tile are all in the aesthetic and for period properties and those of character there really is no alternative.
Quality, tradition and labour costs more
The extra time taken to hand shape, press and detail our handmade roof tiles will clearly attract a higher price tag. However, more and more people seem to be moving away from mass produced produce in favour of handmade and traditional products.
Handmade roof tiles take time to produce
The time it takes to craft a high quality handmade roof tile will naturally be longer than that of a tile that is produced by a highly automated and efficient machine. As good as these tiles can be and as uniform as they are in shape and size, nothing can compete with the aesthetic beauty, or even the slight irregular shape of a handmade roof tile.
Arts and crafts taken from a bygone era are seeing a revival; the solid fuel stove is coming back with a vengeance and the handmade roof tiles are often being chosen over the machine made variety, but why?
The reason is simple, people want the quality and aesthetic beauty of something that is different from the norm, a product that is designed and manufactured in a traditional way that exudes quality and heritage. Although the modern world has brought us speed and convenience in so many things, the old ways give us unrivalled quality and take us back to a time when speed and getting the cheapest option wasn't as important.
Handmade roof tiles to bring back the quality of yesteryear
One only has to visit one's grandparents to see that they still use some things from before the war. This was when products were built to last and our handmade roof tiles are manufactured with the same professional care as they were back when there were no machines to do it.
So, if you want a totally unique product to make your home stand out from the rest, handmade roof tiles will be the choice to make.
A little information about Buckinghamshire
History of Beaconsfield in Buckinghamshire
This Buckinghamshire parish comprises Beaconsfield town and land mainly given over arable land. Some beech forest remains to supply a well established and celebrated beech furniture industry in the nearby Buckinghamshire town of High Wycombe.
The Buckinghamshire town is recorded under a different spelling in property returns of 1185 where it is spelt Bekenesfeld, literally beechen field which would allude to a clearing in the beeches. The nearby Buckinghamshire town of Burnham Beeches is a forest named after the same beech trees. Although, it is often incorrectly contested that Beaconsfield derived its name from a street called Beacon Hill in neighbouring village, Penn, which was a lookout point and beacon originating in Saxon times. Local men were called to defend an island fort as the beacon was part of a chain from the naval base at Portsmouth via Butser Hill Hindhead, Hogsback and Windsor.
An annual charter fair is traditionally held on 10 May and has been held every year since 1269 in the Buckinghamshire town, celebrating its 750th year in 2019.
In the Victorian era the Buckinghamshire town was the home constituency of Benjamin Disraeli, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in 1868 and then again from 1874 until 1880. In 1876 he was made the 1st Earl of Beaconsfield by Queen Victoria with whom he was a favoured politician. It was due to this that Beaconsfield became a popular road name in industrial cities across the country in the late Victorian era.
The Buckinghamshire town has the first model village
Beaconsfield is the home of Bekonscot model village, which was the first model village in the world; and Beaconsfield Film Studios becoming the National Film and Television School. The Buckinghamshire town is the birthplace of Terry Pratchett, author of the Discworld series of fantasy novels.
The Buckinghamshire town of Beaconsfield has often been used as a location for the TV murder mystery series, Midsomer Murders and the Inspector Morse spinoff Lewis.
The Buckinghamshire town is famed for its thespian activities
Beaconsfield is also home to the Chiltern Shakespeare Company, which annually holds amateur performances of Shakespeare plays, Beaconsfield Theatre Group, Beaconsfield Musical and Operatic Society and to The Young Theatre, a theatre company run by young people for young people.
