Bespoke Handmade Roof Tiles & Fittings
Crafted with Heritage, Built for Character
At William Blyth, we offer a specialist bespoke roof tiles service for projects that require more than an off-the-shelf solution.
Whether you’re restoring a listed property, creating a one-of-a-kind new build, or matching an existing roof tile, our team has the heritage knowledge and hands-on skill to deliver bespoke tiles of exceptional quality and character.
With over 180 years of craft behind us, we work closely with architects, conservation officers, and property owners to create tiles that are historically accurate, visually striking, and made to last.
True Bespoke Tile Craftsmanship, Honed Over Generations
Every bespoke tile is handmade using traditional methods and our own Humber alluvial clay—rich in colour, full of natural character, and fired in our heritage coal-fired kilns.
From bespoke tile matching for heritage conservation projects to design your own tiles for modern architectural statements, we produce tiles and fittings tailored precisely to your vision. Whether replicating a discontinued tile or sculpting a decorative ridge piece, our work is led by care, accuracy, and collaboration.
Your roof tiles look absolutely stunning on our home. I’m so grateful to you for all your effort that went into making such a wonderful, bespoke, clay roof for us.

Made for Conservation & New Builds
Our bespoke tiles are regularly specified for:
Listed buildings where conservation compliance is essential.
Restoration projects that need exact matches to original tiles.
New builds that demand tailored design with heritage appeal.
Decorative ridge tiles for finishing flourishes and sculptural detail
We’re proud to have been entrusted with bespoke handcrafted work for some of the UK’s most historically significant projects, from crafting exact replica bricks for the restoration of London’s ancient Mithras Temple, to recreating Roman Imbrex and Tegula tiles for an authentic villa reconstruction at The Newt in Somerset.
Sculptural & Decorative Ridge Tiles
As part of our bespoke tile service, we offer handmade sculptural ridge tiles from classical finials to animal figures like owls, cats, and mice. Each piece is shaped by hand and made to order, offering a unique detail that brings roofs to life.
