9.1 A consistent approach to finishes

9.1.13 Pitched roof coverings

Pitched roof coverings shall have an acceptable finished appearance.

Tiles and slates should:

  • be reasonably uniform in texture, finish and colour
  • be suitably mixed to avoid excessive colour banding.

Also note:

  • some minor blemishes will occur on individual tiles and slates
  • some minor variations will occur in the texture, finish and colour of individual tiles and slates
  • efflorescence occurs naturally on some types of tile. It is not harmful and generally disappears over time. Tiles which have efflorescence when laid should be suitably mixed to avoid a patchy appearance.
