Colour options
Antique TerracottaThis 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
AnthraciteThis colour is near dark black with a blueish hue tint it is a very popular choice to work with dark roof slates, ridge tiles or roof tiles
Slate GreyThis 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 From £15 extra per finialWe can produce bespoke roof finials in just about any colour imaginable with excellent results. Please send us a tile or colour sample (can be as small as 1") to our Essex workshop so that we can match to the true physical colour and replicate the colour and texture using our finishing technique
Colour matches and finishing options: Customers opt for colour matched finials for heritage and restoration work, adding and restoring detail to the roof whilst maintaining consistency so the finial is in keeping with the colour of the roof ridges, tiles and roof fittings. Wonderful feature finials can be produced and personalised with colour matching and finishing effects to make something extra special
Please note matching to photos: We can no longer match to photos because it has proved to be an unreliable method because lighting conditions and screen colour setups can make the true colour look a lot different
Previous customers have asked us to produce roof finials to compliment their roof tiles or ridge tiles from manufacturers such as: Redland, Marley Eternit, Sandtoft, Russell Roof Tiles, Wienerberger, Forticrete, Heritage tiles, Aldershaw, Dreadnought, Tudor, Lagan, Imerys, Keymer and many others

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 be longer if an order is placed for multiple products, bespoke colour products or if there are adverse weather conditions or delays beyond our control
Installation
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
