Thanks for your advice Carerahill! I got the message. I'll stick with the concrete. The tiles I was proposing are definitely nicer but it can end up looking weird! Thanks again

Many thanks for the reply Carrerahill! I need about 2,000 tiles for the whole job.did you mean I'll regret it doing it in clay tile instead of the plain concrete ones? Clay tiles are new and never ben used and are the same size.

Hello people, this is my firs tread on this forumI I enjoy doing DIY job when I know how to do it. Saying that I'm relatively new to roofing and I only done flashing/pointing/valley repairs in the past. live in 1920's terraced house with gable roof. I've just finished re roofing the back of my house (garden side) using the mix old plain concrete tiles (cleaned thoroughly) and lots of new ones as well. I replaced all the battens as well as re-beded the verge and the ridge tiles and done repointing as well as new lead flashing. Now I'm about to do the front of the house and I would like to ask you for your opinion. I found a batch of new plain dreadnought clay tiles on eBay selling cheap. Would it be okay to reroof the front of the house using all new clay tiles similar in colour? I've seen properties which have newer extensions done with clay tiles while parts of the house still have concrete tiles on.
