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 for restoration projects
If you have a restoration project planned, the last thing you want is to settle for modern, mass produced clay roof tiles. You are looking to recreate the original aesthetic of the property and remain as true to the original architecture as when the building was first built.
Traditional clay tiles are clearly the right choice for the roofing material on any restoration project. Traditional clay tiles are also a must if you happen to be repairing or replacing a section of any existing roof on a property of a certain age.
Stark lines and a definite machine made look will be noticeably out of place if you opt for machine made clay tiles on a restoration project.
There is little point in remaining true to the original bricks, timber and window specification, if you deviate from the traditional clay tiles that adorned the property when it was first built.
Reclaimed tiles can be expensive
Reclaimed clay tiles are not only expensive, but the amount you can get for a project can be quite limited. Buying quality traditional clay tiles from us will ensure you get the right look and feel for your restoration project, as well as getting the right amount to complete the job and at the right price.
Get the right look with Heritage Clay Tiles Ltd traditional clay tiles

Our traditional clay tiles offer a wide range of shape, texture and colour options, to allow your restoration project to run as smoothly as possible.

A little information about Suffolk
Beccles in Suffolk
Beccles is a typical market town and civil parish in the county of Suffolk. The town is shown on the milestone as 109 miles from London via the A145 and A12 roads, 98 miles north-east of London as the crow flies, 16 miles south-east of Norwich and 33 miles north-northeast of the county town of Ipswich. Nearby towns include Lowestoft to the east and Great Yarmouth to the north-east. The town lies on the River Waveney on the edge of The Broads National Park.
History of Beccles in Suffolk
The name is conjectured to be derived from Becc-Liss, meaning Small-court, as well as Bece-laes, meaning Meadow by Stream, as well as a contraction of Beata Ecclesia, the name of the Christian temple erected in about 960 by the monks of the monastery of Bury. Once a flourishing Anglian river port, it lies in the Waveney valley and is a popular boating centre. The town was granted its Charter in 1584 by Elizabeth I.
Sir John Leman, who died in 1632, was a tradesman from Beccles who became Lord Mayor of London.
Long associated with Beccles is the Peck family. Among those Pecks who have made a place in history is the Rev. Robert Peck, described by Blomfield in his history of Norfolk as a man with a 'violent schismatic spirit' who led a movement within the church of St Andrew's in nearby Hingham, Norfolk, in opposition to the established Anglicanism of the day. The Puritan Peck was eventually forced to flee to Hingham, Massachusetts, founded by many members of his parish, where he resided for several years, until King Charles I had been executed and Oliver Cromwell had taken the reins of government. Robert Peck then elected to return to Hingham, Norfolk, and resumed as rector of St Andrew's Church. He died in Hingham but left descendants in America.
In 1794, Francois-Rene de Chateaubriand, while in exile, taught French language and literature in the Suffolk town of Beccles. He fell in love with Charlotte Ives, daughter of Bungay's reverend.
Under the Municipal Corporations Act 1835 the Suffolk borough was reformed, Beccles retaining municipal borough status until the reorganisation of local government in 1974, when it was merged with surrounding authorities to become Waveney District. The successor civil parish has adopted town status.
