It is advisable where possible to choose the best, especially as they will be in place for the life of the building and will be there for the world to see. A quality roof of plain clay tiles is an inexpensive way to add character and value forever. Look around and see for yourself that the concrete tiles of the last 70 years lose their colour. The natural burnt colours of clay are permanent and mellow and improve with age. Never skimp on the roof materials. Whether you are building from scratch, converting or extending your property or renovating your family home, Dreadnought clay roof tiles offer solutions to enhance any roof. If you wish to see some completed Dreadnought roofs please contact our office and we can provide you with a list of sites in the colours you are interested in.
