“ This old building in our garden is known to us as the Ranch House. It is known to be at least 75 years old and may well be more. The roof in particular was falling apart, it was covered in corrugated bitumen sheeting which was well past its used by date. We had two choices; demolish it or renovate it. We decided to renovate but felt that it deserved something better than corrugated sheeting on the roof. This was why we selected Lightweight Tiles after several email exchanges with Laura and Susan plus going to meet Laura at the Renovation Show in Birmingham.
The hard part was completely rebuilding the roof structure as we decided to change the pitch of the roof. Fitting the tiles was easy. Two of us fitted 70 tiles on the long side in 5 hours which included a leisurely lunch and several cups of tea. I fitted the remaining 30 on the other side on my own in about the same time. I have one tip though, it is worth drilling a small pilot hole for each screw, you can then fit the screws much more neatly.
We are very pleased with the transformation, I keep going down the garden to look at it! ”

“ Thank you to LightWeight Tiles in Lydney my dream is heading to reality. After buying a garden room with my share of inheritance money after losing my mother. I was so upset at the quality I was distraught. Lightweight tiles came to the rescue. Not only did the team in the office – Susan and Carol help us with the estimate and order, but we were shown how the tiles are produced and got to meet the whole team, who were really informative and helpful.
As a bonus Charlie and Josh even spent a couple of evenings after work putting the tiles on for me. The glazing is almost complete, and it is so lovely and warm that I can’t wait to spend more of my time relaxing inside, remembering my Mum in a lovely environment. Thank you so much ”

“ I just wanted to say how good your product was when I used it recently .
I took down an old wooden conservatory and replaced it with a brick one that had a wooden roof . The front of the conservatory roof sat on a wall plate on top of the French door frame and I didn’t want the weight of concrete tiles on top of that,so I researched and found your product.
The videos of how the product was made and installed and how durable they were was a deciding factor in me choosing yourself over other similar product I had seen.
I have to say the service from the lady who took the order to the prompt delivery was 1st class and friendly , and the price was a lot less than I had thought was going to be .
The product itself was top quality and installation was as simple as it could be with everything fitting together without any problems and the verge trims finished it off fantastically and all the people who have seen it have commented on how good it looks .
I have been a building site manager for 25 years plus so have a good idea of things and how they should work and I have to say I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or use your product again.
So well done for developing such a great product and wishing your company every success in the future.
Many thanks ”
