Traditional Cotswold stone tile roofing specialist

Cheltenham and areas around Gloucestershire are one of the parts of the UK where traditional stone tile roofing is common. Stone roofs have a great history, with different types of stone in use in different areas and each giving that area a unique character. But stone isn’t the easiest roofing material to work with so if you need repairs, maintenance or even replacement work, you want a company who can handle traditional stone tile roofing. Here at MT Roofing, we are one such company.

Imitation Stone Tiles

There are several high quality producers of imitation stone tiles. Imitation stone can be significantly cheaper than using reclaimed tiles which are expensive and increasing in price as time goes by. A great quality and authentic looking imitation stone looks great, functions perfectly, and allows you to retain that traditional feel whilst saving money. We work with a number of suppliers and brands and can advise you on the best imitation stone tile products for your roof.

Working with stone tiles

Going back in time, stones roofs were made when blocks of stone were left out for the weather to naturally split then, hence their random look and shape. Hand tools were used to help the process but it was still a craftsman’s job. Mass produced alternatives were created but they never had quite the same look.

If your property has a traditional stone tile roofing system, then this might mean you want to keep things as they are. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, you probably have little choice. Therefore, you need a company that can work with these varying materials to keep the authentic look of your property while ensuring the roof does its job.
