Materials Used

• Terracotta Mendip concrete roof tiles
• Breathable felt membrane
• Treated roofing battens
• Dry ridge and dry verge systems

Challenges & Solutions

As a corner plot property, the rooflines were highly visible from multiple angles, making visual consistency a top priority. We paid extra attention to detailing and alignment to ensure a flawless finish. Additionally, care was taken to protect neighbouring structures and boundaries during the removal and installation process.

Outcome

The new terracotta tiled roof has dramatically enhanced the property's appearance and is fully compliant with modern building regulations. The Mendip profile provides depth and dimension to the roofscape, while the durable concrete material ensures long-term performance with minimal upkeep.
