Anchor were taken over by Forticrete. There are firms that make replicas of discontinued tiles, they have the moulds to do it. Might be worth getting in touch with a firm like Repco.

Bit of a strange one but I have got a leak and need to replace some roof tiles, the make is Anchor, Double Roman but they do not make them anymore! Does anyone know where may have some of these in stock or any good reclamation yards? It would save me having to re tile the entire roof if I can find around 10! Cheers

I think I got the one's you are on about from Ashpheltic on Tremorfa In Est.
Second hand mind as they realized that customers could not buy them new.
Soz in advance, but didn't look if you lived in the Capitial of WALES area.
The robbing barstewards charged more than for new one's mind.
The main picture is the type I bought:----

DON'T DO IT. LOOK FOR OLD ONES.Originally Posted by Butterwick Blue wrote on Fri, 21 August 2015 08:43
The other thing to look out for is that newer tiles are manufactured in metric whereas the older one's are imperial. In my case I found the metric version to fit fine even though the old tiles were imperial.Originally Posted by Butterwick Blue wrote on Fri, 21 August 2015 08:43
What the Romans did for Britain.
Thanks for all the replies guys. Will have a look into the tremorfa place and see what they have got!
They will not sit over the main roof tiles.Originally Posted by shaky wrote on Fri, 21 August 2015 14:16
