New Build Project Sutton Coldfield
The brief
Situated just off the prestigious Four Oaks estate in Sutton Coldfield, this arts and crafts style new build needed a roof that looked as though it belonged to the house. From the working drawings and our first meeting with the client, we listened carefully to their vision and knew we were the right fit for the project.
The challenge
Displaying the roof in a way that complemented the building meant using traditional valley and hip tiles, which were particularly difficult to install here. The roof has sprocketed eaves, where the slope kicks out at the bottom, and the pitch changes from one slope to the next, creating unusual "dog-leg" hips and valleys.
Our approach
We used traditional valley and hip tiles throughout, with careful attention to detail to carry the tile courses around the dog-leg bends and the kicked eaves.
Materials
Dreadnought Dark Heather clay tiles, a deep, multi-toned tile that suits the arts and crafts style.
The result
The unusual dog-leg hips and valleys, the attention to detail and the beautiful Dark Heather tile make for a roof that is truly outstanding.
