When shopping for roof tiles what are the key indicators of quality? I've found some in an outlet that are very cheap (29p each) and I'm dubious of the quality

Make sure you put similar tiles to original for planning consent The 29p ones are little broselys you will need hundreds of them and may be to heavy for your roof frame as you also need four times battens Get roofer to guide you a Trustworthy roofer

Hi Paco, It depends what they are made of, you can buy concrete tiles for 29p each, that will easily last 40years plus. You need to do a little more research, to see what is suitable for your roof, You could go to one distributor who sells them for 29p and one that sells them for 50p, just because they cost more doesn't mean they are advantageous in any way. Kind regards Paul Davis Total roofing care.
