Thor,
Is there not a reclamation yard in your area such as the one below in mine? http://www.ace-reclamation.co.uk/ When I had an extension/loft conversion I paid a princely sum for clay/terracotta tiles not unlike yours to keep my roof the same. For the sake of a couple of calls you may get something for them and they may even collect free too perhaps? Just a thought.....  If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!
Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

Do not dump the clay ones......
^^^^Welcome! It would be a shame to see them dumped as there would be someone somewhere that would greatly appreciate them, you could possibly charge extra for the aged look for the moss and bird poo on them! Alternatively see if there's any building improvements/conversions going on in your area and do a bit of 'door knocking!' I've got about 150 stacked up behind my garage as the odd one does get 'frost blown' and delaminate/crumble. I've then got matching spares to swap them out with! My original ones on my roof are from 1935 when the bungalow was built and are of a far superior quality to those with about a 40 year lifespan of today! If you've the same on your roof find somewhere better to stash them and keep a few back would be my strong advice, they can be hard to source and cost a lot too! If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

No mate, the tiles are free....the moss and bird poo costs extra!!
I know what you mean, i have a pile of them around the back of the garage....30/40 tiles maybe thinking that will be enough for the odd one coming off the roof of the house or garage. Strong people are harder to kill and generally more useful! |

The normal flat 'Peg' ones currently go for 'from 54 pence each.' Yours are larger and shaped, think of your Land Rover wish-list before you give or throw them away.....
