Types of Tiled Roofing We Install & Repair

Concrete Tile Roofing

Concrete tiles are popular across Glasgow suburban properties built from the 1960s onwards. They're durable, affordable, and weather well in the Scottish climate. We repair cracked or broken concrete tiles, replace deteriorated sections, and install new concrete tile roofs with proper ventilation and underlayment.

Clay Tile Roofing

Traditional clay tiles offer excellent longevity and a classic appearance. While less common than concrete in Glasgow, we have experience with clay tile installation, repair, and re-roofing. Clay tiles are particularly suitable for listed buildings and period properties.

Slate Tile Roofing

Natural slate is the traditional roofing material for Glasgow tenements. We specialise in slate roof repairs, replacements, and full re-roofing projects. This includes sourcing period-appropriate slate that matches existing roofs and working on shared tenement roof arrangements.

Modern Composite & Synthetic Tiles

Modern alternatives to traditional tiles offer improved durability, lighter weight, and sometimes better thermal performance. We can advise on the best modern tile solutions for your property and handle installation and repair of these contemporary materials.

Tiled Roof Maintenance Tips

Regular maintenance can significantly extend the life of a tiled roof:

Annual Inspections: Have your tiled roof inspected at least once per year, and always after severe storms or high winds.
Gutter Cleaning: Keep gutters and downpipes clear of debris to prevent water backing up and damaging tiles and underlying structures.
Moss & Algae Removal: Glasgow's damp climate encourages moss growth. Regular cleaning prevents moss from trapping moisture and damaging tiles.
Prompt Repairs: A single broken or missing tile may seem minor, but it can lead to water ingress and structural damage. Repair issues quickly.
Flashing Maintenance: Ensure flashing around chimneys, valleys, and edges is in good condition and properly sealed.

What Our Customers Say

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do tiled roofs last?

Concrete tiles typically last 40–50 years, while clay tiles can last 50+ years or even a century with proper maintenance. The lifespan depends on the tile quality, climate exposure, and how well the roof is maintained. Glasgow's high rainfall and winds can accelerate wear, making regular maintenance essential.

What's the difference between concrete and clay tiles?

Concrete tiles are more affordable, lighter weight, and easier to mass-produce, making them common on post-war Scottish properties. Clay tiles are traditional, more durable, and offer a classic aesthetic. Both perform well in Glasgow's climate, but clay tiles tend to age more gracefully and are better for listed buildings.

Can I repair just a few broken tiles instead of replacing the whole roof?

Yes. If your roof is still in good condition overall, we can replace individual broken or missing tiles. However, if the roof is older or has multiple issues, a full replacement may be more cost-effective and longer-lasting. We'll assess your roof and recommend the best option.

How much does a new tiled roof cost in Glasgow?

Costs vary depending on roof size, complexity, tile type, and any underlying structural work needed. Concrete tile roofs are typically the most affordable, while clay or natural slate tiles are more expensive. We provide free, fixed-price quotations — contact us on 0141 336 0013 or submit your details online.

Do you replace tiles on high or steep roofs?

Yes. We have experience working safely on roofs of all pitches and heights. We use appropriate safety equipment and follow all health and safety protocols. Glasgow's high winds can make working on steep roofs challenging — we ensure work is done safely and to the highest standards.

What causes tiles to crack or break?

Common causes include impact from falling branches or debris, age and deterioration, poor installation, settlement of the building, and freeze-thaw cycles in winter. Glasgow's strong westerly winds and regular rainfall can accelerate tile wear. Regular inspections help catch problems early.

Can you match my existing tiles on a partial replacement?

We'll do our best to match existing tiles for partial replacements. However, if your tiles are discontinued or very old, exact matching may not be possible. We can source close alternatives or, for visible areas, suggest a full roof replacement. We'll discuss options in your quotation.

How long does a tile roof replacement take?

A typical residential tile roof replacement takes 5–10 days, depending on roof size and complexity. We'll provide a clear project timeline in your quotation and keep you informed throughout the work. We aim to complete projects efficiently without compromising quality.

Are tiled roofs suitable for Glasgow's climate?

Yes. Tiled roofs perform well in Scotland's wet, windy climate when properly installed and maintained. Concrete and clay tiles are durable and weather-resistant. The key is ensuring proper underlayment, ventilation, flashing, and guttering — areas where our team specialises.
