What type of tiles do I have?

Tiles come in both terracotta and concrete. Stamped on the under side of the tile you should be able to find out something about it.

e.g.: - The Brand - Monier, Wunderlich etc.
The Profile - Elabana, Marseille etc

Knowing this will help you when talking to someone about your roof. Visit service call for more information.

Can Concrete tiles become porous and leak?

The truth is that concrete and terracotta tiles are naturally porous. They can absorb up to 5% of their weight in water but even that's not enough to make them leak. It's the density of the tiles that makes them waterproof, not the coating. However recoating tiles will give your home a lift and increase its value.

What about Terracotta Tiles?

In our opinion the application of any sealer or coating to terracotta tiles is unnecessary. Terracotta has a natural beauty that never fades. If you find it hard to recognise that beauty its probably because it is obscured by moss and lichen. You will find that with the right treatment your roof will look like new again without the application of any sealer or coating.
