Hip tiles

Hip tiles are designed to cover and protect the external junction where two roof slopes meet at an angle, known as the hip. Commonly used on hipped roofs, they provide a weatherproof seal while maintaining the roofline’s integrity. Options include half round hip tiles for a smooth, curved finish and bonnet hip tiles, which interlock for a secure fit. Traditionally, clay hip tiles were used on period properties, while modern projects often use concrete or engineered alternatives for durability.

Roof hip tiles are a key component in both traditional and contemporary roofing. They help channel rainwater away from the ridge, preventing water ingress and ensuring a long-lasting structure. Whether you're restoring a heritage building or working on a new build, choosing the right hip tiles ensures the roof functions as it should.
