Tile Identification Help Please

[210JMP]

Good Morning,

Newbie here hoping someone may be able to help me identify the type/name of tiles on the roof of my recently bought house. The house was constructed in the early 60's I believe - no other houses in the area have these tiles so I'm struggling to find any information which is frustrating my search to source some spares.

I've attached some pictures, and thank you in advance for any details you are able to provide.

They look like Double Romans, a quick google search will find you some near you as they are readily available and reclamation yards will probably do a similar age and colour to match.

Thanks for your reply Daz. I suspected that might be Double Romans as well - while the style is similar, I think the "roll" on mine is wider/deeper?

 

[DAZB]

I did think that but can only assume they are an early style of them. They may also be an old variety of Clay tile or the other similar tile i can think of is a variety called Bold Roll but it's not as close as the Romans.

Marley bold roll ?

they are not true double romans, they are not marley bold rolls or redland regents .. they look like bambino tile

Agree. Horrendous tile to work with.

Thank you both - sorry to sound completely naïve, is Bambino the brand name, or model? Also, out of curiosity why are they horrendous to work with? Thanks in advance

The way you need to lay them and replacing any that break (whilst laying).

bambino are a clay tile bridgwater i think. i cant tell exactly from the image but thinking about it Redland did a version from memory ..statesman.

in which case Anchor would have a similar profile on their books.. dont ask for double romans as they are not.

Good Evening all,

I'm conscious not to exhaust your goodwill - had a couple of roofers visit in the past couple of days who were not able to assist. I went into the loft today and was able to get the attached pictures of the underside. Not a name / model / code I recognise at all - is anyone able to make out what this might be?

Thank you in advance

Thanks - not much information online. I did however find a thread from this forum where a poster advised Ightham were purchased by Marley?

Valley Tiles in a Ightham Roof

Hi, I have a roof with Ightham concrete tiles. One of the valleys is leaking so I intend to lift the tiles, replace the underslating and rebed the tiles. I cant find valley tiles in any flavour other than Rosemary, so, does any one know where (in chesterfield or sheffield) I can get...

Do you think this is a potential avenue for tracking down an equivalent tile? The issue I have is that I have a cracked tile that's been temporarily fixed with silicone, but ideally needs replacing before we start getting heavy rain etc.
