Prestbury with Plain Tiles
The Project
The re-roofing of St Francis, a distinctive, detached house within an historic Conservation Area in Cheltenham, was part of a whole-house renovation which aimed to return the house to its former glory.
The unusual ‘butterfly’ shape of the house, which is one of the features which contributes to its architectural value, meant that the roofers carrying out the work required high levels of competence to install the Breckland Brown concrete Plain Tiles, together with the multiple hips and valleys.
Project name: St Francis Prestbury
Contractor: Storm Roofing
Solution: BMI Redland Plain Tiles in Breckland Brown
Testimonials
The Product
“The owners chose the BMI Redland Breckland Brown concrete Plain Tiles for their similarity to the existing clay roof tiles which were failing. The matt tiles, which have a light red fleck, complement the stone which makes up most of the building’s walls”
Storm Roofing
The Outcome
“A high-quality product was the number one consideration for the owner, who is happy that this has been achieved.”

The Challenge
The Challenge
Designed in the ‘Arts & Crafts’ style of architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, the house is a ‘butterfly’ shape in plan, which is one of the features which contributes to its architectural value, and meant that the roofers carrying out the work required high levels of competence to install the tiles, together with the multiple hips and valleys.
The Solution
The Solution
The owners chose the BMI Redland Breckland Brown concrete Plain Tiles for their similarity to the existing clay roof tiles which were failing. The matt tiles, which have a light red fleck, complement the stone which makes up most of the building’s walls and are a cost-effective alternative to clay.
The roof has many valley and hip details which had to be meticulously planned and executed. The roofer leading the works has over 20 years’ experience and worked on the roof with a team of three.
The roofing contractor deployed a bumper hoist to lift materials which were stored on the house’s driveway as the property was vacated for the duration of the renovation project.
The Impact
The Impact
The project was completed within the renovation timetable and budget. A high-quality product was the number one consideration for the owner, who is happy that this has been achieved. Since the building sits within a Conservation Area (details below), the appearance of the building is important to local residents, conservationists and the council.
