Reclaimed Ridge Tiles

At The Reclaimed Company, reclaimed ridge tiles are a core part of our roofing salvage range. We carry extensive stocks of second hand ridge tiles in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, pitches and finishes.

Sourcing salvaged ridge tiles can be a challenge. There are many different profiles, and finding a close match for an existing roof is not always straightforward.

That is why we offer a free matching service to help clients identify the right reclaimed ridge tile for repairs, extensions, restoration projects and partial re-roofing work.

Why not send us an image of the ridge tile you need? We will review what you have, check current stock and let you know if we can help.

If suitable stock is available, we can provide a quotation and arrange delivery as required.

Further, all of our salvaged ridge tiles are available for nationwide delivery.

Matching Existing Ridge Tiles

One of the most common reasons customers contact us is to match existing ridge tiles on older roofs. Reclaimed ridge tiles are often the best option where maintaining the character, profile and proportions of the original roofline matters.

When matching reclaimed ridge, the key factors usually include:

  • Profile – half round, angled, hogs back, roll top or decorative
  • Material – clay, concrete or stone
  • Size – including overall length, width and bed dimensions
  • Pitch – the angle of the ridge tile must suit the roof
  • Colour and weathering – reclaimed tiles often have aged tones that are difficult to replicate with new products

If you are unsure what you need, send us photographs, approximate dimensions and your quantity. We will do our best to help identify a suitable reclaimed ridge tile from stock.

Why Choose Reclaimed Ridge Tiles?

  • Better for matching older roofs and traditional buildings
  • More sustainable than buying new where reuse is possible
  • Characterful and authentic with natural weathering and age
  • Suitable for conservation-led work where visual consistency matters

Reclaimed ridge tiles do more than finish the roof apex. They also preserve the roof’s visual integrity, maintain architectural character and help extend the life of existing roof coverings through sympathetic repair.

More About Ridge Tiles

Reclaimed ridge tiles are essential roofing components, offering both practical and aesthetic value. By capping the apex of a roof, they help form a weatherproof seal while also contributing to the character and finish of the roofline.

Using reclaimed ridge tiles helps preserve architectural authenticity while supporting reuse and reducing unnecessary waste.

  • Half-Round Ridge Tiles: Commonly used for their traditional curved appearance and effective water-shedding properties.
  • Angled Ridge Tiles: Suitable for roofs with defined pitches and often paired with plain tiles or slates.
  • Capped Ridge Tiles: Designed with additional weathering protection and commonly seen on traditional tiled roofs.
  • Crested Ridge Tiles: Decorative ridge tiles with ornamental detailing that enhance the roofline visually.

Materials and Colours of Ridge Tiles

Clay ridge tiles are widely valued for their durability, natural finish and traditional appearance. Colours often include red, black and buff.

Concrete ridge tiles offer strength and broad compatibility with later roof coverings. They are often used on interlocking tiled roofs and typically weather over time.

Depending on source and age, reclaimed ridge tiles can vary in tone, finish and surface texture, which is often exactly what makes them useful for matching existing roofs.

What Reclaimed Ridge Tiles Do

  • Weatherproofing: They help seal the apex of the roof and reduce the risk of water ingress.
  • Aesthetic value: They define the roofline and can add visual distinction, especially where decorative ridge is used.
  • Sustainability: Reusing quality roofing materials reduces waste and supports more environmentally responsible building practice.
