Reclaimed Roofing Materials Wakefield: Finding the Right Match for Your Project

3 days ago
3 min read

When it comes to roofing projects, finding the right materials is not always about replacing an entire roof. More often, property owners, builders and roofing contractors need reclaimed roofing materials to match existing roofs and maintain a consistent appearance.

At Lofthouse Roofing Supplies Ltd, based in Thorpe, Wakefield, we specialise in supplying high-quality reclaimed roofing materials across Yorkshire and throughout the UK. We also provide a professional roof stripping service and have been stripping roofs for local councils and roofing contractors for over 25 years.

Whether you're repairing a damaged roof, building an extension, constructing a garage, matching neighbouring properties on a new-build development, or carrying out a complete strip and re-roof, reclaimed materials can often provide the closest possible match.

When Are Reclaimed Roofing Materials the Right Choice?

Reclaimed roofing materials are often the best option when appearance matters. New roof tiles and slates can stand out significantly against older materials, which can affect the overall look of the property.

Customers commonly choose reclaimed materials for:

  • Roof repairs where damaged or missing tiles need replacing.

  • Property extensions where the new roof needs to blend with the existing roof.

  • Garage and outbuilding projects that need to match the main house.

  • New-build developments where planning requirements or aesthetics call for materials that match surrounding properties.

  • Partial reroofs where only a section of the roof is being replaced.

  • Full strip and re-roof projects where maintaining the property's character is important.

In many cases, reclaimed materials help achieve a far more natural finish than brand-new alternatives.

Matching Existing Roof Tiles and Slates

One of the most common reasons customers contact us is because they are struggling to find a suitable match for existing roofing materials.

Over time, roof tiles and slates weather naturally. Even when a modern equivalent is available, differences in colour, texture and profile can make repairs or extensions stand out.

Our extensive stock of reclaimed roofing products allows us to help customers source materials that closely match existing roofs, helping new work blend seamlessly with older sections of the property.

Reclaimed Roof Tiles

We stock a wide range of reclaimed roof tiles suitable for repairs, extensions and reroofing projects, including:

  • Reclaimed roof tiles

  • Clay roof tiles

  • Concrete roof tiles

  • Handmade roof tiles

  • Machine-made roof tiles

  • Used roof tiles

Matching the correct profile and size is often the key to achieving a successful repair or extension project.

Reclaimed Roof Slates

For traditional and period properties, reclaimed slates are often the preferred choice.

Our stock regularly includes:

  • Reclaimed roof slates

  • Yorkshire stone roof slates

  • Welsh slates

  • Westmorland roof slates

  • Burlington roof slates

Reclaimed slates can provide a much more sympathetic match than newly manufactured products, particularly on older properties.

Ridge Tiles, Hips and Valleys

Finishing details are just as important as the main roof covering.

We supply a variety of reclaimed roofing accessories including:

  • Reclaimed butt ridge tiles

  • Reclaimed capped ridge tiles

  • Reclaimed half-round ridge tiles

  • Harris hips

  • Valley components

Using matching reclaimed fittings helps maintain a consistent appearance across the entire roof.

Beyond Roofing Materials

Alongside reclaimed roof tiles and slates, we also supply:

  • Lead flashing rolls

  • Treated roofing timber

  • Roofing battens

  • General roofing supplies

This allows customers to source many of the materials required for their roofing project from one supplier.

Full Strip and Re-Roof Services

Although many customers come to us for matching materials, we also provide a comprehensive strip and re-roof service.

A strip and re-roof involves removing the existing roof covering so the roof structure can be inspected and appropriate materials installed. This can be the best solution when:

  • The roof has reached the end of its lifespan.

  • Ongoing repair costs are becoming excessive.

  • Large areas of roofing materials have deteriorated.

  • The roof requires significant structural work.

  • The property owner wants to improve the roof while retaining its traditional appearance.

With more than 25 years of experience stripping roofs for local councils and roofing contractors, we understand both the practical and supply side of roofing projects.
