Default Felt roof shingles

Hi,

Has anybody got any recommended stockists around the West
London/Beds/Buck/Herts area, who might have felt roof shingles in stock?
Basically, I'm after something like:

http://www.roofshingles.co.uk/standard-products.html

Pattern not important, but colour is: they need to be black (or
'charcoal' as everyone seems to call it these days). Wickes do them,
but only in red, which is unfortunate, as my local Wickes has themn
stacked high. I need to cover some 30m2 of cabin roof, and the only
option so far seems to have a local roofing merchant order 'em in:
"Could be this Tuesday, could be next Tuesday, could be the Tuesday
after that, Guv." Can't fault the guy for trying, as there isn't
apparently much demand for these sort of things round here.

I've tried B&Q, Homebase, etc - seems to be a bit too specialised for
most of them, although they do have normal roof felt in stock. Yuck.

Any pointers would be great.

Thanks
Paul

We've just done similar on our log cabin with shingles from these guys:

Very happy with results - we bought jazzy grey, but they also do slate
and black in the KL line.

After a phone call we were able to collect from the warehouse in
Uxbridge.

Thanks for the tip. I gave them a call, they had what I wanted, and I
picked up within the hour. Despite tons of Googling, I hadn't come
across their web site. Many thanks.

Regards
Paul
