Colour options
We offer a range of standard colour finishes and a bespoke colour matching option
Antique Terracotta
This is the standard antique terracotta colour. It is as generic as possible to work with and compliment most roofs. It has an antique effect overlay which gives it a lovely aged appearance
Anthracite Matt or Satin
This colour is near dark black with a blueish hue tint. It comes in matt or satin finish and is a popular choice to work with dark roof slates, ridge tiles or roof tiles
Slate Grey
This colour is a mid grey colour. It works really well with grey slate roofs or if you are matching to grey coloured roof tiles, ridge tiles and fittings
Colour Matching - £10 extra per finial
We can produce bespoke roof finials in just about any colour imaginable with excellent results. We recommend sending a colour sample to our Essex workshop so that we can match to the true colour and replicate the tile details (contact us for address). If this isn't possible we can do best endeavours and match to a digital photo

Lead Time
We aim to hold stock of our most popular finial designs, ridge bases and crest heads to reduce lead time where possible
As a general guideline please allow up to 10-14 working days (not including weekends) from ordering to receive an order - This allows for curing time, finishing, boxing up and delivery of the order if we are completely out of stock
Urgent orders
Please contact us before ordering to check stock level if you need an order urgently. We can advise on the stock level and advise if we can meet a particular deadline
Top tip - How about leaving a gap so the finials can be fitted later?
If roof work is progressing quickly or scaffolding is due to come down all may not be lost!. How about leaving the correct size gap and allowance for mortar join so that finial(s) can be installed later?
Normally the ridge tiles can often be installed from the gap left for the finials so that roof work isn't held up. Most finials are a one person carry/lift and potentially could be installed using a ladder later to finish off the roof and add a lovely finishing feature
Please note: Lead time may exceed the standard 10-14 working days guideline if an order is placed for multiple products, bespoke colour products or if there are adverse weather conditions or delays beyond our control

Installation
This roof finial can be fixed in place
Roof finials can be installed on the roof in the following ways
1. Traditional mortar bedding
Roof finials can be installed in the same way as ridge tiles by using standard mortar bedding. If the finial is tall, heavy or if you want to add additional strength and stability to the finial install you can use the method below in addition to using a mortar bed
2. Mechanical fixing strap and mortar bedding
This finial comes with a galvanized metal strap, one end is secured to the underside of the finial ridge base out of view during manufacturing. The metal strap is strong, flexible and can be uncoiled and cut down to size. It has a series of holes which means it can be either screwed in, nailed or secured in place with mortar to part of the roof structure. When an installer secures the metal strap they can then hide it from view using traditional mortar bed, the mortar bedding and mortar join between the finial and adjacent ridge tile hides the strap out of view leaving a neat finish
Dry fixing
Another method of fixing finials to the roof is the dry fixing method. Dry fixing involves using a particular manufacturers dry fixing system normally consisting of brackets or other kinds of mechanical fixings to secure ridge tiles and finials to the roof without using mortar. Please contact us if you are using a dry fix ridge system to see if this finial design could be produced to be compatible with a particular system
