Expert Clay Tile Roof Installation in Bicester

A professionally installed clay tile roof is one of the longest-lasting roofing options available. With proper installation by a skilled team and a bit of care, many clay tile roofs can last well over 60 years, and some even up to 100 years or more! It’s a fantastic long-term investment for your property, offering years of reliable service.

Clay tiles often have a higher initial outlay compared to some other materials, like concrete tiles. However, it's important to look at the bigger picture. Their exceptional lifespan and durability mean they offer excellent value for money over the long term. Plus, the classic beauty they add can significantly boost your home's appeal and resale value. At Ox Roofing Ltd, we provide clear, detailed quotations so you know exactly what to expect with no hidden surprises. We aim to offer affordable quality.

Clay tiles themselves are incredibly low maintenance. They are naturally resistant to rot, insects, and decay. The main thing is to make sure your gutters are kept clear and to have occasional checks for any slipped or damaged tiles, perhaps after a particularly severe storm. Our team at Ox Roofing Ltd can advise on simple maintenance, or even offer one of our roofing protection plans to keep your roof in top condition throughout the year.

There are many great reasons to choose clay tiles! They offer a beautiful, traditional aesthetic that really enhances a property's character. They are incredibly durable and weather-resistant, perfect for the UK climate. They are also a natural, sustainable material. Plus, their longevity means you likely won't have to worry about re-roofing for many, many decades. It's a quality choice for any homeowner.

Clay tiles are versatile and suitable for a wide range of properties, from charming cottages in the Cotswolds (we cover parts of Gloucestershire like Cheltenham) to new family homes in Aylesbury or Northampton. The main consideration is the pitch of your roof, as clay tiles generally require a certain slope for optimal performance. Our experienced team can assess your roof and advise on the best solution. We have extensive experience with many different building styles across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire, and Warwickshire.

The timescale for a new clay tile roof can vary depending on the size and complexity of your roof, the specific type of clay tile chosen, and even the weather. A typical semi-detached house might take a week or two for a full replacement. When we provide your detailed quotation, we’ll also give you a clear project timeline so you know what to expect. We always aim to complete work efficiently and with minimal disruption to your daily life.

Absolutely. Peace of mind is paramount for our customers. As NFRC Competent Person Scheme (CPS) certified roofers, we can self-certify that our work meets UK Building Regulations. This saves you the cost and hassle of a separate Building Control inspection, which can be hundreds of pounds. What’s more, all our domestic clay tile roof installations come with a 10-year Insurance Backed Guarantee (IBG). This means your investment is protected, even in the very unlikely event our company ceased trading.

In many cases, replacing an existing roof with similar materials doesn't require planning permission. However, if your property is listed, in a conservation area (of which there are many beautiful examples in Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Warwick), or you're making significant structural changes, permission might be needed. We can offer general advice, but it's always best to check with your local council, for instance, in towns like Banbury or Didcot.
