Tiled Roofs In Harwich
Harwich has two quite different tiled roofs side by side. Old Town cottages often wear small clay plain tiles, while the post-war homes further out mostly carry larger concrete interlocking tiles. Each needs its own approach, and both have to stand up to the wind that crosses the peninsula.
Options for your roof
We install and repair across all major options to suit your home and budget.
Clay plain tiles
Traditional small flat clay tiles for period roofs.
Clay pantiles
Warm, curved clay pantiles for character homes.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Modern interlocking concrete tiles with dry verge and ridge.
Clay and concrete tiles across Harwich
On clay plain tile roofs, we usually find a scattering of cracked or slipped tiles and perished mortar at the ridge. These can often be repaired with matching reclaimed tiles. Concrete interlocking tiles on post-war houses are heavier and tend to hold up, but the battens and felt beneath them may be past saving. In that case we re-tile: new breathable underlay, fresh treated battens, and the tiles relaid or replaced. We also handle pantiles where a property has them, keeping the distinctive wavy profile.

Ridge and hip tiles are the weak points in Harwich, so we favour dry-fix ridges and verges over mortar. Changing tile type on a listed Old Town home normally needs consent. A full re-tile counts as a new roof and comes with our 10-year guarantee on new roofs.

Roofing in a conservation area or on a listed building
Conservation areas and listed buildings have tighter rules for roof work. Like-for-like repairs are often fine, but changing materials or adding roof windows may need permission or consent.
