Reclaimed Building Materials

Slates

Natural slate has been used for roofing in Britain for centuries, with Welsh slate becoming widely used during the Industrial Revolution to roof homes, factories and public buildings. Valued for its durability and distinctive appearance, it remains an important part of our architectural heritage. Reclaimed roofing slates offer naturally weathered colours and textures, making them well suited to period properties, roof repairs and restoration projects where matching the existing roof is important. They can also bring traditional character to extensions and new builds.

Plain Tiles

Plain roof tiles are a traditional feature of British buildings, available in both clay and concrete. Clay tiles include handmade and machine-made varieties, with finishes ranging from smooth surfaces to textured, rustic designs. Concrete plain tiles also come in a choice of colours and finishes. When repairing an existing roof, matching the tiles’ size, shape, colour and texture helps preserve its appearance. Our reclaimed range offers weathered clay and concrete tiles for customers seeking a suitable match or traditional character for their roofing project.

Pantiles

Pantiles were imported into Britain from the Netherlands during the 17th century and became a distinctive feature of eastern England’s roofs. Traditionally made from clay, their S-shaped profile creates the characteristic rolling appearance seen on cottages, farm buildings and period properties. Today, pantiles are available in both clay and concrete, including modern interlocking designs. Our reclaimed pantiles offer naturally weathered colours and finishes, providing options for roof repairs, matching existing tiles and adding traditional character to extensions and other roofing projects.

Fixtures & Fittings

Roof fittings provide finishing details that complement the tiles and character of a building. Ridge tiles finish the roof’s apex, while bonnet hip tiles cover the junction where two roof slopes meet. Decorative ridges and finials add architectural interest, with traditional designs including ball tops, scrolls and crested profiles. Available in different shapes, colours and finishes, suitable fittings can help retain the appearance of a period roof or add character to a new project.

Interlocking Tiles

Interlocking roof tiles are made from clay or concrete, with interlocking side channels that join adjacent tiles and help direct rainwater down the roof. Their single-lap design generally requires fewer tiles per square metre than plain tiles, which can make installation quicker. Available in flat and profiled styles, they offer a choice of appearances for roof replacements, extensions and new builds. Some designs suit lower roof pitches, but suitability depends on the specific tile, required overlap and exposure.

Bricks

Brickmaking was introduced to Britain by the Romans and later revived during the medieval period, becoming an important part of our architectural heritage. Bricks vary in colour, texture and size, reflecting local materials and manufacturing methods. Carefully selected reclaimed bricks can help match existing brickwork on period properties or bring weathered character to extensions, outbuildings and garden walls. For repairs and restoration, choosing bricks with suitable dimensions and compatible properties is important to preserve the building’s appearance and ensure they suit their intended use.

Flagstone, Sandstone & Porcelain

Flagstones have been used for centuries to create stone floors and paved spaces, with historic examples found in castles across the country. Their worn surfaces and natural textures contribute to the character of these buildings. Reclaimed flagstones bring that established appearance to garden paths and patios, creating an attractive focal point in an outdoor space. Indian sandstone offers natural colour variation, while porcelain provides a low-maintenance alternative, giving homeowners a choice of finishes to complement both traditional and contemporary gardens.
