TILED ROOFING
Expert Tiled Roofing Services Across Swindon, Oxford & Surrounding Areas
At Crown Guard Roofing Services, we are specialist tiled roofers working across Watchfield, Swindon, Oxford, Witney, Carterton, Abingdon, Didcot and the surrounding areas. As a family-owned business with over 10 years of hands-on experience, we’ve installed and repaired tiled roofs on countless homes — from modern new builds and traditional Victorian terraces through to Cotswold-style stone properties and large country homes.
Tiled roofs are by far the most common roofing system in the UK — and for good reason. A properly installed tiled roof looks fantastic, performs brilliantly in our British climate, and can last 60–80+ years when it’s done right. They handle wind, rain, frost and pollution year after year, all while shrugging off heat in summer and keeping warmth in during winter.
But tiled roofing isn’t a job for guesswork. The right tile choice, the correct fixings, proper underlay, accurate batten spacing, and quality lead detailing all make the difference between a roof that lasts a lifetime and one that needs constant attention. That’s where our experience pays off.
Whether you need a brand-new tiled roof, a complete re-roof, or repairs to your existing tiles, we deliver work that’s built to last. Every roof is fully insured and backed by our 15-year workmanship guarantee for total peace of mind.
Tiled Roofing Systems We Specialise In
We work with every major type of roof tile and profile. We’ll help you choose the right system for your property’s style, your budget, and how long you want the roof to last.
Concrete Tiles
Concrete tiles are the most widely used roofing material in modern UK homes. They’re tough, weatherproof, available in a huge range of styles and colours, and offer excellent value for money.
Best for: Most modern domestic properties, new builds, and budget-conscious re-roofs.
Key benefits:
- Lifespan of 40–60+ years
- Highly cost-effective
- Available in countless colours and profiles
- Excellent weather resistance
- Manufactured to consistent quality standards
Clay Tiles
Clay tiles are the traditional choice for British homes and have been used for centuries. They retain their colour beautifully, develop a wonderful patina with age, and last considerably longer than concrete tiles.
Best for: Period properties, character homes, conservation areas and high-end new builds where appearance and longevity matter most.
Key benefits:
- Lifespan of 60–80+ years
- Colour stays true for the life of the tile
- Premium, traditional appearance
- Naturally resistant to moss and algae
- Adds significant property value
Plain tiles
Plain tiles are smaller, flat tiles laid in a double-lap pattern. They give a beautiful traditional look and are common on period and Cotswold-style properties across our region.
Best for: Traditional, period and heritage properties; conservation areas; cottage-style homes.
Key benefits:
- Authentic traditional appearance
- Excellent longevity (60+ years)
- Available in handmade and machine-made finishes
- Ideal for steep pitches and detailed roof shapes
- Sympathetic to period architecture
Pantiles
Interlocking Tiles Modern interlocking tiles use a single-lap design where each tile locks into its neighbours. This makes them faster to install, lighter, and excellent for large roof areas.
Best for: Modern homes, large new builds, commercial properties and re-roofs where efficiency matters.
Key benefits:
- Fast, efficient installation
- Lighter weight (ideal where structure is a concern)
- Excellent weatherproofing through interlocks
- Available in flat, low-profile and pantile styles
- Cost-effective on larger roof areas
Interlocking Tiles
Pantiles Pantiles have a distinctive S-shaped profile that gives roofs a beautiful flowing, traditional appearance. Common on character properties and homes inspired by classic architecture.
Best for: Character properties, barn conversions, traditional country homes.
Key benefits:
- Distinctive, attractive profile
- Available in clay or concrete
- Traditional aesthetic with modern performance
- Long lifespan when properly fitted

Signs Your Tiled Roof Needs Repair or Replacement
Most tiled roof problems are visible from the ground — and the earlier you catch them, the cheaper they are to put right. Here’s what to look out for:
On The Roof
- Slipped, cracked or missing tiles
- Loose or cracked ridge tiles
- Sagging or uneven roof line
- Visible moss, algae or vegetation build-up
- Worn, faded or chalky tile surfaces
- Granules from tiles collecting in gutters
Inside Your Home
- Damp patches on bedroom or upstairs ceilings
- Active leaks during heavy rain
- Daylight visible through the loft roof
- Higher heating bills than usual
- Musty smells from the loft space
- Stained, sagging or peeling ceilings
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting an honest expert opinion. We’ll inspect your roof for free and tell you straight whether a repair will do the job — or whether a new roof would actually save you money in the long run.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tidy working practices & full waste removal included
That depends on the tile type:
- Concrete tiles: 40–60+ years
- Clay tiles: 60–80+ years
- Plain tiles (handmade clay): 80–100+ years
A well-installed, well-maintained tiled roof from a reputable installer will easily reach the upper end of those ranges. Our 15-year workmanship guarantee covers the installation work itself.
Concrete is more affordable, available in more colours, and ideal for modern homes and budget-conscious projects.
Clay is more expensive upfront but lasts longer, holds its colour beautifully, and looks more authentic on period properties.
We'll always recommend the right tile for your specific property and budget — never just the most expensive option.
For most domestic properties, a typical re-roof takes between 3 and 7 days, depending on the size of the property, the tile type, and the weather. We'll always give you a realistic timescale in your written quote.
Costs vary depending on the size of your roof, the tiles chosen, scaffolding, and the condition of the existing structure. Concrete tile re-roofs are typically the most cost-effective; clay and plain-tile installations are more of a premium investment. We provide free, fixed-price written quotes so you'll know the exact price before any work begins.
Sometimes. If your existing tiles are sound, well-coloured and a quality material (often the case with clay tiles), it's possible to strip the roof, replace the underlay and battens, and re-lay the original tiles. This can save significant money on materials and is an excellent option for period properties. We'll inspect and advise honestly.
Yes — for proper safety and quality, full scaffolding is needed for almost all tiled roof installations and major repairs. This is always included in your written quote — no surprise charges.
No. A new tiled roof is installed entirely from the outside, so you can stay in your home throughout. There may be some noise during working hours, but disruption inside the property is minimal.
Yes. We take great care to match existing tile colours, profiles and materials so any repair or partial re-roof blends seamlessly with the rest of your roof. We work with all the major UK tile manufacturers.
