Pantiles were imported into Britain from the Netherlands during the 17th century before being manufactured locally. They became a distinctive feature of eastern England and parts of Scotland, contributing to the traditional appearance of cottages, farm buildings and coastal settlements.
Traditionally made from clay, pantiles have an S-shaped profile that creates a rolling pattern across the roof. Historic examples include red and orange tiles as well as black-glazed varieties, particularly associated with parts of coastal Suffolk.
Today, pantiles are available in clay and concrete, including modern interlocking designs that retain the familiar curved appearance. Different products have their own requirements for roof pitch, overlap and fixing.
Our reclaimed pantiles offer naturally weathered colours and finishes for customers seeking to match an existing roof or introduce traditional character to an extension or new project. When selecting replacements, matching the tile’s dimensions and profile is important, alongside its colour and condition.
