Tiled Roofs In Wivenhoe
Wivenhoe has a real mix of tiled roofs. Steep clay plain tile roofs cover many historic cottages in the old town, while the post-war and newer homes up the hill mostly have concrete interlocking tiles. Each behaves differently, needs different fixings and fails in its own way, so it pays to have a roofer who knows both.
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 Wivenhoe
Clay plain tiles near the quay are small, steeply laid and hung on nibs over battens. When old battens rot or nails fail, they slip one by one, and mortared ridges crack in the damp air. Concrete interlocking tiles towards Wivenhoe Cross are heavier and larger; their weak points are usually mortar on ridges and verges, and old underlay that has sagged or torn. For repairs, we replace damaged tiles and re-bed or dry-fix ridges. If the roof needs more, we strip it, fit breathable underlay and new treated battens, then relay sound tiles with matching new ones. A tiled re-roof is a new roof and is covered by our 10-year guarantee on new roofs.

In the old town conservation area, we match clay tiles in size, colour and texture, and check whether any change needs permission. On exposed roofs near the water, we use clips and mechanical ridge and verge fixings so tiles stay put when wind runs along the Colne.

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.
