Clay Tile Roof Installation In Woodhall Spa

Installing a clay tile roof is a craft that demands precision and expertise. At Foster and Son, our fully-certified professionals follow a meticulous process that guarantees a watertight, long-lasting, and beautiful finish. We start by carefully assessing your existing roof structure, ensuring it's robust enough for the inherent weight of clay tiles. After safely stripping away the old covering, we inspect and repair any underlying timber work, such as rafters and trusses. Crucially, we then install a high-quality, breathable roofing membrane – often referred to as roofing felt or underlayment – which acts as a vital secondary barrier against water ingress. Next, treated timber battens are precisely fixed, ready for the tiles. Each clay tile is then carefully laid, overlapping correctly to ensure optimal drainage and weather protection. We pay close attention to critical areas like valleys, verges, and ridges, using appropriate fixings and, where needed, traditional leadwork or modern dry ridge and dry verge systems for maximum performance. This systematic approach means your new clay tile roof is not just installed, it’s engineered to perform.
