Clay & Concrete Tiled Roofs for Your Home
Tiles are one of the most common roof coverings on houses across Inverness and the Great Glen. Concrete tiles are hard-wearing and cost-effective, while clay tiles keep their colour well and suit older and character properties. We lay both, fixing each tile to battens over a breathable underlay so the roof sheds rain and stands up to wind.
Interlocking tiles overlap at the sides and are quick to lay on larger roofs. Plain tiles are smaller and double-lapped, giving a neat, traditional finish that works well on steeper pitches. We explain which profile suits your roof pitch and the look you want, so you know what you are paying for before any work starts.
Where tiles meet ridges, hips and valleys, the detail matters most. Tiles are cut cleanly, fixed securely and finished so water is carried off the roof rather than into it. Every tiled roof starts with a FREE, no-obligation quote, so you can compare clay and concrete before deciding.

Clay or Concrete
Clay tiles usually cost more than concrete, and plain tiles take longer to lay than interlocking ones.
Roof Area & Pitch
The size of the roof sets the number of tiles needed, and the pitch decides which tiles and fixings can be used.
Hips, Valleys & Dormers
Every change in direction means extra cutting and detail work compared with a plain gable roof.
Timber Repairs
Rafters or boards found rotten once the old tiles are off need repairing before the new tiles go on.

Laying a Tiled Roof, Eaves to Ridge
- Step 1
Assessing the Roof
We check the roof pitch, the timbers and the existing tiles to confirm which tile profiles your roof can take.
- Step 2
Preparing the Roof Deck
Old tiles and battens are removed, and a breathable underlay and new battens are fixed at the spacing the chosen tile needs.
- Step 3
Laying the Tiles
Tiles go on from the eaves upwards, each one fixed so courses stay straight and lapped correctly, with clean cuts at hips and valleys.
- Step 4
Completing the Roof
Ridge and hip tiles are fixed and the verges finished. We then review the roof with you and confirm everything is done as agreed.
