Preserving Tradition with Modern Roofing Solutions
DLJones CPS Ltd was commissioned to complete a full re-roofing of a substantial period home in Oxted, Surrey. The project required not only expert workmanship but a sympathetic approach to heritage detailing. The chosen solution? Redland Rosemary Clay Plain Tiles in a Russet Mix finish – a perfect match for the home’s classic architecture.
This complex, multi-hipped roof required detailed planning, specialist craftsmanship, and careful coordination to ensure the finished result was both watertight and visually striking.
Project Overview
The existing roof had significantly deteriorated, with widespread wear across multiple elevations. A full strip and replacement was necessary, but the priority remained: to respect the building’s character while upgrading its weatherproofing and longevity.
After surveying the structure, we specified Redland Rosemary clay tiles – known for their aesthetic authenticity and durability. Manufactured in the UK and widely accepted for use on conservation properties, the tiles offered the ideal balance between traditional appearance and modern performance.
