High Quality Roof Tiles
Why choose high quality roof tiles from Heritage Clay Tiles Ltd?
As a proud homeowner, you know the importance of having a roof that looks good and is designed to protect your home from any weather conditions. Your home is the most expensive thing anyone is realistically likely to buy, so you'll want it to look its best. But have you ever considered what roof tiles are best for your house?
The answer is not that straight forward. The different styles and types of roof tiles can be mind boggling, the local restrictions may cause you a few headaches too, but one thing remains constant when it comes to roof tiles, the quality! Always, always invest in high quality roof tiles, as doing anything less, will cost you more in the long term.
Tiled roofs are still the most popular
A tile roof is simply a roofing system comprised of individual tiles, typically made from clay, concrete, or slate. Each tile is laid in an overlapping pattern, creating a protective layer that helps to keep out water and other elements. We have been using roof tiles for many hundreds of years and the quality does vary. A high quality roof tile will have an impressive lifespan and be very durable, cheaper ones tend to fail within a shorter space of time, costing the homeowner more money owing to repairs and replacements.
Also, high quality roof tiles can withstand extreme weather conditions, including high winds, heavy rain, and hail. In addition, high quality roof tiles are fire-resistant and provide excellent insulation, which can help to lower energy costs.
You can obtain high quality roof tiles in many different styles, colours, and materials, making them a very popular choice for homeowners who want to enhance the look and maybe the curb appeal of their homes. They can be designed to complement any architectural style, from traditional to modern, adding value to any property.

High quality roof tiles are known for their durability and long lifespan. Many roof tiles, such as clay and slate, can last well over fifty years with the proper installation and maintenance.
High quality roof tiles are energy efficient
High quality roof tiles can help reduce your energy costs by providing a natural insulation and reflecting sunlight. This can help keep your home cooler in the summer and much warmer in the winter.
High quality roof tiles from Heritage Clay Tiles Ltd always look great
High quality roof tiles offer a timeless, classic look that will never go out of style. A roof that has been clad in high quality roof tiles will also boost the overall value of the property too. A well cared for home will always have greater curb appeal than ones that have cheap roofing materials and have a neglected look.
High quality roof tiles are fire resistant
Many roof tiles, such as clay and concrete, are fire-resistant. This can help protect your home from fires. Remember that high quality roof tiles are better made and more robust, so are more likely to repel wayward fireworks that could damage or penetrate cheaper, weaker roof tiles.
High quality roof tiles from Heritage Clay Tiles Ltd are low maintenance
High quality roof tiles require very little maintenance compared to other roofing materials. Roof tiles are resistant to rot, insects, and different types of damage and can be easily replaced if the odd one becomes damaged.
What type of high quality roof tiles to buy?
High quality roof tiles made from clay have been used for many centuries owing to their durability and versatility. They are made from natural clay shaped and fired at high temperatures, these tiles are known for their ability to withstand harsh weather conditions and resist damage over time. From classic red terracotta to modern grey slate, clay tiles can add warmth and character to any property.
High quality roof tiles made from slate are not cheap, but are sought out by contractors for their supreme durability, versatility, and natural beauty. With their excellent resistance to water and other weather extremes, high quality roof tiles made from slate are a great roofing material. Factor in the variation in colour and texture among slate tiles, and you have a totally unique installation. When properly installed and maintained, high quality roof tiles made from slate can last for many years, making them a great investment for any renovation or construction project.
There are also concrete tiles available, but these are generally reserved for commercial properties due to their durability, affordability, and ease of installation. They are sometimes used on domestic properties, but they are not as aesthetically appealing as the high quality roof tiles made from slate or clay.
Be on the safe side and choose high quality roof tiles to ensure you enjoy many years of trouble free service from a robust roof with a long lifespan.
A little information about Oxfordshire
Abingdon in Oxfordshire
Abingdon-on-Thames, commonly known as Abingdon, is a historic market town in Oxfordshire. Historically, it was the county town of Berkshire, since 1974 Abingdon has been administered by the Vale of White Horse district within Oxfordshire. The area was occupied from the early to middle Iron Age and the remains of a late Iron Age and Roman defensive enclosure lies below the town centre. Abingdon Abbey was founded around 676, giving its name to the emerging town. Charters for the holding of markets and fairs were granted by various monarchs, from Edward I to George II.
Some facts about Abingdon in Oxfordshire
The Oxfordshire town survived the dissolution of the abbey in 1538. During the 18th and 19th centuries, with the building of Abingdon Lock in 1790, and the Wilts and Berks Canal in 1810, this made the Oxfordshire town a key link between major industrial centres such as Bristol, London, Birmingham and the Black Country. In 1856 the Abingdon Railway opened, linking the town with the Great Western Railway at Radley. The Wilts & Berks Canal was abandoned in 1906 but a voluntary trust is now working to restore and re-open it. Abingdon railway station was closed to passengers in September 1963. The line remained open for goods until 1984, including serving the MG car factory, which operated from 1929 to October 1980.
History of Abingdon in Oxfordshire
A Neolithic stone hand axe was found at Abingdon. Analysis in 1940 identified the stone as epidotised tuff from Stake Pass in the Lake District, 250 miles to the north. Stone axes from the same source have been found at Sutton Courtenay, Alvescot, Kencot and Minster Lovell. The Oxfordshire town has been occupied from the early to middle Iron Age and the remains of a late Iron Age defensive enclosure lies below the town centre. The oppidum was in use throughout the Roman occupation. A Neolithic causewayed enclosure was found in Abingdon in 1926, dating to the 36th or 37th century BC.
Abingdon Abbey was founded in Saxon times, possibly around 676, but its early history is confused by numerous legends, invented to raise its status and explain the place name. The name seems to mean 'Hill of a man named Aebba, or a woman namedAebbe', possibly the saint to whom St Ebbe's Church in Oxford was dedicated. However, Abingdon in Oxfordshire stands in a valley and not on a hill. It is thought that the name was first given to a place on Boars Hill above Chilswell, and the name was transferred to its present site when the Abbey was moved.
In 1084, William the Conqueror celebrated Easter at the Abbey and it is possible that his son Henry I received some schooling at the Oxfordshire abbey.
Oxfordshire's wool trade flourishes in Abingdon
In the 13th and 14th centuries, Abingdon in Oxfordshire was a flourishing agricultural centre with an extensive trade in wool and a famous weaving and clothing manufacturing industry. The abbot seems to have held a market from very early times and charters for the holding of markets and fairs were granted by various sovereigns, from Edward I to George II. In 1337 there was a famous riot in protest at the Abbot's control of this market in which several of the monks were killed. After the abbey's dissolution in 1538, the Oxfordshire town sank into decay and, in 1556, upon receiving a representation of its pitiable condition, Mary I granted a charter establishing a mayor, two bailiffs, twelve chief burgesses and sixteen secondary burgesses, the mayor to be clerk of the market, coroner and a JP.
The county hall and court house were built between 1678 and 1682, to assert this status. The building, now the Abingdon County Hall Museum, was reputedly designed by Christopher Kempster, who worked with Sir Christopher Wren.
