Replacing or upgrading your roof is a big decision – and choosing the right roof tile makes all the difference. At J Weir Roofing, we know it’s not a one-size-fits-all choice. That’s why we work closely with every client to find the right roofing tile for their home, their project, and their budget.

One of our most popular recommendations? Marley Modern concrete tiles – a tried-and-tested choice for new builds, extensions, and refurbishments alike.


Why Marley Modern?

Marley Modern is a sleek, flat interlocking tile with a smooth or granular finish. It offers the look of slate at a fraction of the cost and weight, with the long-lasting durability of concrete. We often suggest Marley Modern tiles for both aesthetic and practical reasons.

Here’s why they’re such a solid choice:

1. Smart, Modern Look

Marley Modern tiles are perfect for a clean, contemporary finish. They suit a wide range of property types – from newer homes to modern extensions on period buildings.

2. Durability You Can Rely On

Concrete tiles are known for their strength and weather resistance. Marley is one of the most trusted names in roofing, with over 100 years of expertise behind every product.

3. Range of Colours & Finishes

Whether you want a traditional slate look or something more unique, Marley Modern tiles come in a variety of colours and textures to match your vision.

4. Budget-Friendly

Marley Modern tiles strike a great balance between cost and quality – especially when compared to natural slate or handmade options.



Not Every Roof Needs Brand New Tiles

We also understand that not every project calls for brand-new materials. Whether you're repairing a roof, restoring a listed property, or working within a tighter budget, we can source refurbished or second-hand tiles that blend seamlessly with your existing roof.

  • Looking to match existing tiles on a heritage property? We can source reclaimed Marley Modern or other compatible tiles.

  • Working on a budget-conscious refurbishment? We'll walk you through cost-effective solutions that don’t compromise on style or performance.

  • Unsure of what tile you need? We can identify your existing tiles and suggest the best match, whether new or used.



Tailored Advice for Every Roof

At J Weir Roofing, we don’t believe in a hard sell or off-the-shelf recommendations. We take the time to understand the style of your home, the structure of your roof, and the budget you’re working with. From there, we’ll guide you through:

  • Tile types and their benefits

  • Colour and texture options

  • Sourcing new vs. refurbished materials

  • Cost comparisons

  • Compatibility with your existing roof
