Report
The local planning conservation officer referred us to Lifestiles as we needed clay peg roof tiles for our 16th century timber framed farm house. We compared samples of theirs with other providers in the market place and decided that they were the best. Their handmade tiles blended beautifully with the existing tiles that we were able to retain. Over 6 years on the tiles have weathered in well and are performing as you would expect. My wife and I found everyone at Lifestiles really easy to deal with and we dont hesitate to recommend them.
