Tiles are the most common roofing material in this country and come in two main types - clay roofing tiles and concrete roofing tiles.
When compared to other roofing options, both clay and concrete tiles generally share the same advantages and disadvantages, with some slight differences.
Tiles come in a wide variety of colours and styles, from traditional to ultra-modern, and you will have no difficulty in selecting a suitable tile to compliment your building.
Tiles are both strong and durable - clay tiles can last over 100 years and concrete tiles will be good for up to 50 years.

Slate has been used as a roofing material for centuries, and is commonly found on older building around the Doncaster area.
Slate is available in a range of colours, but as it is a totally natural material, no two tiles are identical which adds to its charm.
A slate roof is not the cheapest option but certainly has a timeless quality.
Slate is a particulary hard-wearing material, and if installed correctly a slate roof with certainly stand the test of time.
Slate has very low porosity, so should not be affected greatly by moss or lichen, and is fire-resistant.

Traditional associated with industrial buildings, sheet metal roofs are made from metal panels which can either be flat or profiled.
The metals used tend to be either steel or aluminium.
Steel is heavier but is sturdier and can be coated with a range of finishes, to protect from corrosion and add colour.
Aluminium is lighter and will not rust but is softer and is more prone to denting etc.
A well installed metal roof will have a long lifespan and is resistant to the weather and fire.
Metal roofs can be installed with a minimal pitch and its hard, slippery surface sheds rain and snow effectively.

Flat roofs used to have a bad reputation, but with the introduction of modern high-performance building materials, flat roofs are gaining in popularity.
This popularity is helped by the affordability of flat roofs; a flat roof will help to keep the cost of a planned extension down for instance.
A flat roof can also provide addition useable outdoor space such as a sun-deck or roof garden.
A flat roof is also ideal when installing a lantern window.
It is important that flat roofs are well-maintained and inspected regularly, and water should not be allowed to pool on them.
