Here’s how tile roofers Leyland professionally install a tiled roof, step by step.

1. Careful Planning Before We Start

A long-lasting roof begins with proper preparation.

Checking Your Roof Structure – Roof tiles are heavier than many other materials, so we first make sure your roof frame is strong enough to carry the load safely. 

Right Fixings for Your Location – Homes in Lancashire can experience strong winds and heavy rain. We calculate the exact fixing method your roof needs based on its pitch, height, and exposure. 

Quality Materials Only – We carefully inspect every tile before installation and blend tiles from different batches to keep the roof colour looking natural and even. 

Safety Comes First – Our team uses professional scaffolding, safety equipment, and follows strict working practices. We’re accredited by SMAS Worksafe and are proud members of the Lancashire County Council Safe Trader Scheme, so you know you’re hiring a trustworthy local company.

2. The Foundation: Underlay & Battens

What sits beneath the tiles is just as important as the tiles themselves. 

Modern Breathable Membrane – We fit a high-performance roofing underlay that allows moisture to escape while keeping rain out. This helps prevent damp problems and timber rot in the future.

Strong, Graded Timber Battens – Tiles are fixed to treated timber battens that meet current British Standards. These are carefully measured and spaced so everything lines up perfectly at the eaves and ridge.

 Precise Spacing Matters – Getting the batten spacing right ensures the tiles sit securely and avoids awkward cuts that can weaken the roof or spoil the appearance.

3. Installing & Securing the Tiles

This is where craftsmanship really shows.

Every Tile Properly Fixed – Modern roofing rules mean tiles aren’t just laid — they’re mechanically secured with nails or clips to resist wind lift. On steeper roofs, we add extra fixings for maximum strength.

Extra Protection at Edges – Areas like the eaves, verges, ridges, and hips are most exposed to wind and weather. We use additional fixings here to keep everything locked firmly in place.

Straight, Neat Lines – We use guide lines throughout installation so the finished roof looks tidy, symmetrical, and professionally finished.

Dry-Fix Ridge & Hip Systems – Instead of relying on mortar that can crack over time, we use modern dry-fix systems. These are more secure, longer-lasting, and better at coping with the British weather.

Protecting Your New Roof – We take care not to walk unnecessarily on newly fitted tiles to avoid damage during installation.

4. Weatherproofing & Ventilation

A roof must breathe as well as protect.

Healthy Roof Ventilation – We install proper airflow from the eaves up to the ridge. This reduces condensation in your loft and helps prevent mould and timber decay.

 Valleys & Water Channels – Where roof slopes meet, we install reinforced protection beneath the tiles to safely guide rainwater away.

 Professional Flashing Work – Around chimneys, walls, and roof joins, we fit durable flashing materials to stop water getting into vulnerable areas.

Roof Tile Types

Well-known UK manufacturers like Marley, Redland (BMI), and Sandtoft (Weinerberger) all produce high-quality clay and concrete tiles in a wide choice of colours and finishes.

Interlocking Tiles

Interlocking tiles are designed to slot neatly into each other with built-in ridges and channels. Because each tile covers more area, they go on faster than plain tiles, which can help reduce labour costs.

They come in several styles — flat, gently curved, or more decorative profiles — and are widely available.

Great for: Homeowners who want a balance of classic looks, solid weather protection, and good value.

Double Roman Tiles

Double Roman tiles are easy to recognise thanks to their bold shape — a combination of flat areas and deep curves. They create a strong, patterned look and are usually larger tiles that interlock for straightforward installation. You’ll find dependable Double Roman options in concrete from most leading brands. 

Great for: Homes where you want a classic, structured roof design that stands out a bit more.

Valleys

Valleys are the internal channels where two roof slopes meet, and they handle a lot of rainwater. Valley tiles or valley systems are designed to guide water safely down into the gutter without leaks. These components are typically chosen to work with your main tile brand’s system, ensuring a proper fit and long-term reliability.
