Plain Tiling
01
What is Plain Tiling?
Plain tiling uses small, rectangular tiles laid in an overlapping pattern to create a detailed, traditional finish. The tiles are usually made from clay or concrete, both strong materials that hold up well in the Scottish weather.

Why Choose Plain Tiling?
Plain tiling is ideal if you want a roof with a bit more character. The smaller tiles give a textured finish that complements traditional buildings, and both clay and concrete versions keep their colour and shape over time. Clay tiles have a natural, warm look, while concrete tiles offer a solid, cost effective alternative.

Things to Consider
Plain tiles are smaller, so you need more of them to cover the roof. That’s what gives the roof its detailed look, but also means the covering is slightly heavier than larger tile formats. We would check the roof stability during a survey making sure we are choosing the right material and colour to help the roof suit the property and stand up well against the Scottish climate.

How We Install Plain Tiling
We use good quality clay and concrete tiles from trusted suppliers, selecting options that suit the property’s style and roof design. Each tile is carefully aligned and fixed securely so the finish looks neat and stays weather-tight. Installation is steady, detailed work, but when it’s done right, you get a roof that looks traditional and handles the weather without a fuss.
