Sourcing reclaimed roof tiles is never an easy task. With so many different styles, sizes, names, and colours, finding the correct match can take time and often involves a lot of travelling.
We are currently undertaking a partial re-roof, where matching the existing tiles is essential. After initially sourcing what we believed to be enough for the job, it quickly became clear once work began that additional tiles would be required.
Following numerous telephone calls this morning an unsuccessful trip to West Hull this afternoon, we then found that the tiles we had gone to collect were the wrong type within the system, meaning further calls were needed to continue the search.
We have now tracked down a potential match in York, so we are continuing the search and heading there next to secure the correct tiles and keep the project moving forward.
Wish us luck—it’s going to be a late finish today!
