High Quality Roof Tiles in Cambridgeshire
High Quality Roof Tiles
High quality roof tiles from Heritage Clay Tiles Ltd save you money
While roof tiles are designed to withstand the weather, constant exposure to the elements eventually takes its toll. No matter how resilient, all roof tile materials are susceptible to cracks and deterioration over time.
If left unchecked, rainwater can leak through the cracks and cause structural damage to your home. In short, if your tiles have been damaged either during or after installation, it's best to get them replaced without delay. While the cost of individual tiles may be cheap, the job of replacing them requires skill and specialist equipment such as scaffolding. Choosing high quality roof tiles will mean that repairs and replacements will be less likely than if you chose cheaper roof tiles.
The average roof tile replacement cost can be near to £200 for up to about five broken tiles. Now, this is also assuming the replacement tiles can be easily sourced and there are no access issues, if not, it can be even pricier, so another good reason to go for high quality roof tiles.
Depending on the condition of your roof and your budget, you may choose to have the entire roof replaced or simply have a tradesperson replace the damaged tiles. As well as the cost of materials, the quote provided will reflect the amount of work needed and how easy your roof can be accessed. When hiring a roofer, it might make sense for them to carry out a full inspection in case there are other areas that need attention. For example, if roof tiles at the bottom of your roof have been damaged, the fascia board that sits underneath them will get damp as a result and begin to decay. This is especially concerning for older properties that have wooden soffits and fascias.
Roof tiles may be tough by design, but roof tiles can be rather fragile and can get damaged or broken in a number of ways. Exposure to adverse weather such as heavy winds and harsh frost, long-term usage and moisture eventually causes the asphalt to weaken and the protective coating to wear away. Often, high winds can dislodge tiles completely from the wooden batten they sit on. The cost to repair a slipped roof tile professionally can be pretty steep, so having high quality roof tiles that are more durable than cheaper alternatives is always a good plan. The initial saving you make with cheaper tiles will cost you a lot further down the road when things start to go wrong.
What faults to look for on roof tiles
Upon inspection, the roofer may notice tiles with hairline cracks. The most common causes for these are protruding nails from under the tiles or weather damage during severe storms. Cracks can easily be overlooked, but the more they widen, the more vulnerable the interior of your roof will become to water damage. When the crack runs across the length of the tile, it's advisable to get them replaced rather than repaired.
The cost of replacing roof tiles will depend on the level of work required and whether they are high quality roof tiles or cheaper ones. For a complete replacement of a tiled roof, you can expect an average total cost of about £10,000. Quotes will be calculated upon inspection as there may be access issues that could potentially increase the total cost.
When hiring a roofing contractor to repair or replace roof tiles, the total roof tile replacement cost they quote for the job will be determined by several key factors. Ease of access to the roof is one, and it depends on the size of your property and the accessibility of your roof. It may also be necessary for health and safety precautions for roofers to use cement bedding and roof ladders to complete the job.
In some cases, it may be necessary to erect scaffolding, and this is not cheap, increasing the time taken as well as increasing the final price too. Your geographical location can make a difference to the cost of having high quality roof tiles fitted. Clearly, the centre of London will most probably cost a lot more than a comparable property out in the countryside somewhere. This scenario is not unusual, as with most home renovation or repair work, you can expect high quality roof tiles replacement costs to be higher in London than the regional average.
It goes without saying that the more tiles that need replacing, the higher the total cost is likely to be. If the budget allows and your roof is in particularly poor condition, it might be worthwhile to have the roof replaced entirely to give you peace of mind in the future. This is the perfect opportunity to choose some high quality roof tiles. The extra initial cost will more than pay for itself in the long term.
Save yourself a good deal of time and money by choosing high quality roof tiles. Opting for a great deal on some cheap roof tiles will not always be a great idea, as it could end up costing you more in the long term with repairs and replacements.
A little information about Cambridgeshire
The University of Cambridge, Cambridgeshire
The University of Cambridge is a collegiate research university in Cambridge, United Kingdom. Founded in 1209 and granted a royal charter by Henry III in 1231, Cambridge is the second oldest university in the English speaking world and the worlds fourth oldest surviving university.
The Cambridgeshire university grew out of an association of scholars who left the University of Oxford after a dispute with the local population. The two English ancient universities share many common features and are often jointly referred to as Oxbridge.
Cambridge is formed from a variety of institutions which include thirty one semi autonomous constituent colleges and over one hundred and fifty academic departments, faculties and other institutions organised into six schools. All the colleges are self governing institutions within the historic Cambridgeshire university, each controlling its own membership and with its own internal structure and activities.
All students at the Cambridgeshire based university are members of a college. The university does not have a main campus, and its colleges and central facilities are scattered throughout the city of Cambridge. Undergraduate teaching at Cambridge centres on weekly small group supervisions in the colleges in groups of typically one to four students. This intensive method of teaching is widely considered the most important part of an Oxbridge undergraduate education, a practice that sets the universities apart from all others.
In addition, lectures, seminars, laboratory work and occasionally further supervisions are provided by the central university faculties and departments. Postgraduate teaching is provided predominantly centrally.
Cambridge University Press and Assessment combines the oldest and second largest university press in the world with one of the worlds leading examining bodies, which provides assessment to over eight million learners globally every year. The university also operates eight cultural and scientific museums, including the Fitzwilliam Museum, as well as a botanic garden. Cambridges libraries, of which there are over one hundred, hold a total of around sixteen million books, around nine million of which are in Cambridge University Library itself, a legal deposit library.
High tech Cambridgeshire business and the university
The Cambridgeshire based university is home to, but independent of, the Cambridge Union, which is the worlds oldest debating society. The university is closely linked to the development of the high tech business cluster known as the Silicon Fen, so called as it sits within the fenland district of Cambridgeshire. It is the central member of Cambridge University Health Partners, an academic health science centre based around the Cambridge Biomedical Campus.
By endowment size, Cambridge is without doubt the wealthiest university in all of Europe. In 2019, the central university, excluding colleges, had a total income of £2.192 billion, of which £592.4 million was from research grants and contracts. At the end of the same financial year, the central university and colleges together possessed a combined endowment of over £7.1 billion and overall consolidated net assets of over £12.5 billion.
The Cambridgeshire university with an enviable academic alumni
As a member of numerous associations and part of the golden triangle of English universities, the Cambridgeshire university has educated many notable alumni, including respected mathematicians, scientists, politicians, lawyers, philosophers, writers and actors. As of October 2020, one hundred and twenty one Nobel laureates, eleven Fields Medalists, seven Turing Award winners, forty seven heads of state, and fourteen British prime ministers have been affiliated with Cambridge as students, alumni, faculty or research staff. As of 2016, University alumni had won one hundred and ninety four Olympic medals.
