Whilst our main area of business is Lime Products we also deal in reclaim bricks and tiles.  Whenever I am asked to visit a demolition site I never have any hesitation in purchasing Dreadnought Tiles, even if they are 60 years old, as they strip well with the minimum wastage and always sell well.  I consider them to be a good quality and durable product.

Dear Fr Charles and Fr Michael

Copied to all parties involved for whom we have an email....,

I am pleased to tell you that the re-roofing of the spire at St John the Evangelist East Dulwich, originally supported with a Places of Worship Joint English Heritage/Heritage Lottery Fund grant, today received a commendation in the Clay Roof Tile Council’s biennial awards ceremony.  

Entered in the Best Ecclesiastical project category by Dreadnought Tiles (the manufacturers) and E J Roberts (the roofing contractor) our project was competing on a shortlist against

• Canterbury Cathedral Choir School,
• Downside Abbey (also Dreadnought's tiles/also commended)
• and the winner, Holy Trinity’s spire in Blendworth, Hants.

The project, you will recall, was fraught at the outset with scaffold design difficulties and at the last with a tiny but time-consuming short-fall in the necessary handmade special hip tiles.  All parties involved are really to be congratulated on the amicable negotiations that brought the scheme to conclusion without dispute and on good terms a couple of years ago.  

Having attended the award today, where Dreadnought Tiles collected three commendations and one win out of the six available categories, I infer that the Dreadnought product is clearly one that calls the best from those roofers who use it: we were lucky to have such a good recommendation from our contractors, E J Roberts.  The project is illustrated in two areas of Dreadnought Tile’s technical website, so we may fairly presume they enjoyed the challenge also!

Many thanks to everyone.

Dear Mr Patrick-Smith

I refer to our recent telephone conversation and should like to say how pleased my husband and I are with the Collingwood Blend of sandfaced plain clay roof tiles which have now been laid at our Scandia-hus new build project at the above address.

We chose the Collingwood Blend after discussion with your very helpful area sales representative, Tony Osborne, who brought samples with him and also gave us details of new builds which had used Dreadnought tiles for us to see.  That was particularly useful.

The appearance of the tiles on our new house is all we could have wished for and the tiles complement the stock brick elevations very well indeed.

The roof is quite complicated, with a number of valleys and hips.  The roof tiling was carried out by Acomb Roofing Limited, and we are delighted with the finished roof.  Should you so wish we would be happy for you to take photos to consider entering the Clay Roofing Awards Self Build category.

Best Wishes

Yours sincerely

Hello, 

Just a quick note to thank you for the quality of my new roof with your tiles.

Having looked at the Redland 'Primrose' tiles, and not been impressed with their modern colouring, I was delighted to find your firm over the Internet.

A gentleman was very helpful over the phone in answering my questions and Colin Halstead kindly dropped round to suggest Antique Brown tiles as the right colour for my house.

The icing on the cake has been the enthusiasm from my local roofing firm for the quality of the tiles. They have been delighted with the way that the tiles have laid to provide a high quality finish; as have my neighbours who were initially sceptical over the wisdom of new tiles rather than reusing the existing tiles. I'm sure this is likely to lead to more business for yourselves from the Earlsdon / Coventry area.

Many thanks again
