Many years ago I had the roof on my rear addition replaced as some of the

Think they are called double pan tiles. They are about 2' x 2' Have two
curved ridges in them.

Having a de-clutter of the cellar, and wondered if they have any value, or
just take them to the tip?

They have some value to anyone with the right sort of roof. The ones to
match my previous roof go for a small fortune in good condition as they
were Victorian era handmade (and are required for listed building work).

I'm more concerned about finding a use for them rather than making money.
And, of course, if someone collects them saves the bother of taking them
to the tip. ;-)

I don't know what a recycling place will give you for them (not much)

Snag is I don't know of one anywhere nearby.

but I expect your local tip will charge you for disposing of hardcore. I
have never tried to sell any of mine but I kept the best couple of dozen
as spares for the village hall when my roof was redone a few years back.

My local tip does have a skip for hardcore. But doesn't allow vans to that
bit, so limited to what a car etc can carry.

A lot of mine had gone like flaky pastry due to freeze thaw action and
were fit only for landfill.

These do seem to be in pretty good condition.
