Why Choose Peg Tiles?
Blending into history and standing out at the same time, we offer a range of tiles that are unique and uncompromisingly genuine.
A traditional roofing solution trusted for centuries, peg tiles offer exceptional durability and weather resistance, keeping your home safe through every season. Their classic appearance complements period and contemporary properties alike, adding authentic kerb appeal that makes a lasting first impression.
Choosing peg tiles is also a smart investment. A well-maintained, quality roof is one of the first things surveyors and buyers look for, and peg tiles – known for their longevity and timeless aesthetic – can significantly boost your property’s value. Whether you’re restoring a heritage roof or embarking on a new build, peg tiles deliver the reliability, beauty, and return on investment that make them the roofing choice worth making.
A History Of Kent Peg Tiles
The Kent peg tile has been beautifying and protecting buildings across Britain for hundreds of years, with origins that stretch all the way back to the Romans and beyond.
Popular production can be traced to 1330, and in 1477 Edward IV signed a charter of standardisation — though Kent peg tile makers never fully conformed to it. To this day, tiles typically range from 6 to 6.5 inches wide and 9 to 10 inches long, a testament to the independent craft tradition that has always defined them.
Each tile is truly one of a kind. Natural variations in size, shape, colour, and shade mean that every tile carries its own character — along with the charming imperfections that only handmade craftsmanship can produce.
Because of this natural variation, Kent peg tiles should always be installed by skilled, experienced craftsmen who understand how to work with their unique qualities to achieve the best possible result.
