The Becontree homes have distinctive hipped r East London uses a wide variety of roof tiles. Plain clay tiles (peg tiles, plain tiles, rosemary tiles) on Victorian and Edwardian properties. Concrete interlocking tiles (Marley Ludlow, Redland 49, Marley Modern) on 1930s–1990s housing. Handmade clay tiles on heritage buildings. Modern large-format tiles on new-builds. Each type has different fixing requirements, minimum pitches, and lifespans. We work with all of them.
Becontree Estate homes are now approaching 100 years old — original clay tiles are failing en masse, timber battens have rotted, and hip iron fixings have corroded. Many homes have had poor-quality concrete tile replacements that trap moisture. Victo Concrete interlocking tiles have a typical lifespan of 40–60 years. Across Barking, tiles from the 1930s–1960s are now past their design life. Signs of failure: surface granule loss exposing aggregate, hairline frost cracks, increased water absorption (tiles feel heavy and damp after rain), moss growth that returns within weeks of cleaning. Once these signs appear across more than 20–30% of the roof, replacement is more economical than ongoing repairs.
Clay tiles last 60–100+ years and improve in appearance with age. They cost 30–50% more than concrete. Concrete tiles last 40–60 years and are available in a wider range of profiles. For period properties in Barking, clay is the appropriate choice. For 1930s–70s stock, concrete interlocking tiles are the practical, cost-effective option. For new-builds and extensions, either works — we recommend based on the aesthetic you want and the budget you have.

“Tile roofing on our new-build extension in Wanstead. Matched the existing Marley Ludlow Plus perfectly. You cannot tell where the old roof ends and the new one begins.”
“They waterproofed our basement extension where it meets the rear wall of the house. Liquid-applied membrane and proper drainage channel. First winter with no damp. Life-changing.”
“Poplar flat — roof terrace membrane was pooling and leaking into the flat below. They re-laid the membrane with correct falls, new drainage gullies, and composite deck on top. Problem solved.”
