Tudor Roof Tile Co Ltd combines the finest English natural clayswith traditional skills and methods, to create old styled plain tiles with muchsought after aesthetic qualities.

Now one of the few remaining Kent Peg clay tilemanufacturers, we are still located on the Romney Marsh, where our craftsmencontinue the age old tradition of the hand made clay tiles of Kent.

Our range includes ‘Traditional’ nibbed plain tiles, withtheir large degree of double camber and subtle variation in shape and colourplus a ‘Conservation’ range of Peg and Oast tiles, which have a less pronouncedcamber, in the style of the original Kent Peg Tiles.

New additions to the range include authentic handmadecreasing tiles and our unique bat access tiles, designed to help preserveBritain’s endangered bat population.

The complete range of handmade tiles is available in fivetraditional mellow tones: Medium Antique, Dark Antique and Red Antique plus theclassic Sussex colours of Red and Brown, and launched in 2011 to mark thecompany’s 25th anniversary of manufacturing in Kent, our new colour - ‘Jubilee’which has a
rich earthy face with random darker staining.

Combining age old craftsmanship with modern performancebenefits, Tudor's roof tiles and accessories are carefully hand pressed,moulded and trimmed, and then strengthened by advanced firing techniques, togive the final products exceptional durability.

All Tudor roof tiles are made in accordance with
BS EN ISO9001:2000, and tested to BS EN 538:1994 for strength and to BS EN 539-2:1998for frost resistance.

Therefore, unlike second hand and reclaimed tiles which canbe costly, and prone to rapid deterioration and breakage when
re-used, Tudor'sroof tiles are guaranteed to perform well for
many years to come.

Tudor is committed to a policy of minimum wastage andefficient use of energy and resources.

Tudor’s 'Traditional' range of hand made 'nibbed' PlainTiles and ancillary fittings are a high quality, authentic and cost effectivealternative to sourcing expensive second hand and reclaimed tiles.

Builders and architects are now increasingly specifying theTraditional tiles, as these sand faced clay tiles create aestheticallyappealing textured roofs, which enhance and add value to new build projects aswell as complementing older styled properties in areas of historicalsensitivity. With their 'instant aged', time weathered look, doublecamber and subtle variations in shape and colour, they effectively mirror therandomly individualistic appeal of the antique tiles of yesteryear, whilstavoiding the dull, uniform appearance associated with machine made tiles.

Tudor has introduced a new peg tile specifically designed tocomplement listed buildings and heritage properties.

This conservation Peg Tile has been re-developed with agentle double camber and meticulous detailing, ideal for specialised historicalrenovation and restoration work.

With its warm, subtle tones and slight variation in shapeand texture, the sand faced surface accurately recreates the aged, timeweathered look of the ancient peg tiles of Kent, which have been part of theEnglish architectural landscape since the 13th century.

The availability of round or square peg holes willaccommodate a variety of wooden pegs. The bespoke options of size and shape ofthe tiles, along with the additional option of a single nib on the top edge ofthe tile will ensure that most restoration projects can be undertaken.

Tudor’s Oast Tiles, with their essential shaped (tapered)widths, and gentle cambers, help maintain the ‘olde world’ charm and characterof the original oast or oast houses - found typically in
Kent and Sussex.

So there you have it. We make traditional Plain,conservation Peg, tapered Oast and of course Bespoke tiles - and all Hand Madein England!

Welcome to our new blog!

So we're nearly at the end of 2011- another one of those years where Winter seems to arrive almost over night as Summer extends ever further into Autumn.

We have plans to feature a whole raft of articles in the new year but for now we just want to thank our customers once again for their support over the last year and hope we all have a prosperous new year ahead.
