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.

Traditional clay tiles
Traditional clay tiles from Heritage Clay Tiles Ltd add value to your property
We all want to add value to our properties. After all, nobody wants a house that looks like it's ready to be condemned.
So many homeowners spend literally thousands of pounds on interior design, new kitchens, conservatories, summer houses and patios, but very few think to raise their gaze above the guttering and a shoddy, damaged roof can wipe many thousands off the value of a property.
Traditional clay tiles are a sure fire guaranteed way of adding beautiful aesthetics to your home, keeping you safe and secure from all the weather can throw at your house and add a considerable chunk of cash to the overall value of your property.
Although very few people consider the condition of their roof, you can rest assured that a surveyor or a prospective buyer will pay very close attention to it. Nobody wants to inherit a cracked or leaking roof when they buy a new property, so ensuring your roofing material is in a good state of repair is a vital step in the process of selling your home.
Traditional clay tiles last for many years
Traditional clay tiles have been used for many centuries, and when you consider that they can easily have a service life of well over a hundred years, it's worth making sure they are in good order before you put your property on the market.
Many houses demand a higher price tag if it can be shown that a new roof constructed from traditional clay tiles has recently been fitted, so you can easily recoup any money you have invested in having a new roof fitted.
Traditional clay tiles from Heritage Clay Tiles Ltd look the part
Traditional clay tiles look amazing on any property. The building doesn't have to be a period property to benefit from traditional clay tiles; they can look amazing on modern properties too.
Traditional clay tiles can make your property stand out from the crowd, or help your property to blend in perfectly with the existing properties in the immediate area.
Some areas will even insist of the use of traditional clay tiles for roofing projects, as modern alternatives would most likely go against local planning policies in areas with preservation or heritage orders in place.
Choosing traditional clay tiles is never a gamble, regardless of the location. They look great, last for a lifetime and keep all the elements where they should be, and that's outside!
A little information about Buckinghamshire
Wendover in Buckinghamshire
Wendover is a market town and civil parish at the foot of the Chiltern Hills in Buckinghamshire. It is situated at the point where the main road across the Chilterns between London and Aylesbury intersects with the once important road along the foot of the Chilterns. The Buckinghamshire town is only thirty five miles North West of London and is very popular with commuters working in London.
The Buckinghamshire parish has an area of 5,832 acres and had, at the time of the 2011 census, a population of 7,399. Outside the town of Wendover, the parish is mainly arable and also contains many hamlets that rest amongst the ancient woodlands on the surrounding hills. Although Wendover has a weekly market, and has had a market charter since medieval times, many of its inhabitants identify it as a village, and the parish council does not describe itself as a town council.
Where the Buckinghamshire town got its name from
The name of this Buckinghamshire town is of Brythonic Celtic origin. The first element, wen can mean "blessed" or "white". The second element, dussr or dwfr simply means water.
As such, the meaning of Wendover is often given as "White-water", and likely refers to the chalky stream that flows through the middle of the Buckinghamshire town. This stream rises in the adjacent hills, bringing white chalk deposits with it. The Buckinghamshire town has an abundance of spring water, which gave rise to the alternative interpretation of the town name as "Blessed-water", but this has never been officially accepted.
History of Wendover in Buckinghamshire
The first known documentary reference to Wendover in Buckinghamshire, then known as Waendofron, is in the will of Aelfheah, the ealdorman of Hampshire, and dates from between 965 and 971. Prior to the Norman Conquest, the manor, which at the time measured twenty four hides in area, was held by Edward the Confessor. The Buckinghamshire settlement appears to have been centred some 2,000 ft to the south of the present-day focus of the town, near the current location of the parish church of St Mary. By 1086, the manor of Wendovre was in the hundred of Aylesbury, with William the Conqueror as its tenant in chief.
The Buckinghamshire manor remained in royal ownership until 1154, and then passed back and forth between royal and private ownership several times. Wendover was granted a market charter in 1214, and had become a borough by 1228, although it does not appear to have achieved any degree of self-government.
The Civil war comes to Buckinghamshire
Both parliamentary and royalist forces visited the Buckinghamshire town during the Civil War, with looting reported by both sides. Many of the buildings in the town centre, and especially on High Street, Pound Street, and Aylesbury Road, dates from the 17th century. It is not known whether this is because they needed rebuilding after civil war damage, or is an indication of the prosperity of the town at the time.
In 1913, Alfred de Rothschild, invited the Royal Flying Corps to conduct manoeuvres on his land in the adjacent manor of Halton, and this Buckinghamshire land continued to be used by the British Army throughout the First World War. In 1916 the Royal Flying Corps moved its air mechanics school from Farnborough, Hampshire to Halton, and in 1917, and the school was permanently accommodated there, in what was to become the current RAF Halton. Whilst the base is not in the parish of Wendover, its close proximity impacted on the town, and the surrounding Buckinghamshire landscape, due to the associated population increases and deforestation to provide wood for construction work.
