What is a Concrete Roof Tiling Supplier?

A Concrete Roof Tiling Supplier provides roof tiles, ridge caps, sarking (roof underlay), and accessory fixings required to complete a concrete tiled roof. They usually work alongside the tiler or roofing contractor who physically installs the materials on-site.


Concrete roof tile supply happens after the frame is complete and roof structure is ready, but before external cladding and internal works begin.

What does a Concrete Roof Tiling Supplier do?

Your supplier will complete works according to your agreed scope of supply.


Typically, they will:

  • Confirm final roof measurements and set-out with your builder or roofer
  • Supply concrete roof tiles, ridge cappings, hip starters, and sarking
  • Deliver tiles to site, sometimes craned onto the roof if safe access is available
  • Provide product warranty information and installation guidelines
  • Coordinate with your roofer’s schedule to avoid delays
  • Some suppliers can arrange pre-loading onto the roof if site conditions allow.

Tip: Lock In Tile Selection Early and Check Roof Frame Suitability

Confirm your tile colour and profile early — popular colours like charcoal and monument often have lead times of 4–6 weeks.


And make sure your roof frame is certified for concrete tiles — they're heavier than metal roofing and need specific truss loading.

What to look for in a Concrete Roof Tiling Supplier

When reviewing quotes, look for:

  • Clear tile type, profile, and colour specified
  • Inclusions like sarking, fixings, ridge capping, and valley irons
  • Delivery plan (craned loading onto roof or ground drop)
  • Warranty period (generally 20–50 years depending on brand)
  • Lead time for manufacture and delivery


Suppliers familiar with residential volume builds are usually faster with scheduling.

Before You Begin: What You’ll Need Ready

To get quotes from Concrete Roof Tiling Suppliers, you’ll need:

  • Roof framing plans and roof pitch details
  • Roof truss or frame engineer’s certification (for load capacity)
  • Site access plan (for truck and crane if required)
  • Tile profile and colour preference
  • Target roof installation date

Average Timeframe

For this task, Pros typically provide quotes within 7-10 business days.

When Can I Expect Quotes?

Timeframes often vary based on demand and the type of Pro you're engaging (e.g. a plumber). If additional communication or clarification is needed is needed, the quoting process may take longer.

 

Don't be alarmed if you don't receive quotes or communication from any Build Buddy Pros straight away. Some work is more complex and the Pro may need time to comprehend your documents or scope of work. Depending on the job, there may even be some work required by the Pro before they are able to quote (e.g. a site visit might be required).

 

If the average timeframe indicated here has passed, and you have not received any messages or quotes, please feel free to contact the Build Buddy Expert Guidance and Support team for an update on quoting for this task.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does the tiling supplier install the tiles too?

    Usually no — supply and install are separate contracts. Your builder or tiling contractor arranges installation.

  • Is sarking included with tiles?

    It should be — sarking underlay is mandatory under Australian Standards for tiled roofs.
