Pan Tiles
 

Many years ago I had the roof on my rear addition replaced as some of the
tiles were broken, and not possible to get replacements easily. So I kept
the old good ones as spares for the main roof. Which was also replaced
ages ago. ;-)

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?

Umm, what tiles do your neighbours have? :)

The common replacement roofs round here are slate - real or artificial.
Older were done with concrete tiles. Not many left original. But even then
I don't think every house had the same as built. It's one of those
Victorian streets with a big variety of designs - although all basically
similar.

I'm sure those tiles are quite valuable to someone who has them on his
roof. The question is how to find someone who needs them?

A listing on eBay costs nothing and they might be what someone local
is looking for. Or maybe a local reclaim yard will take them.

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

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

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. ;-)

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

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.

These do seem to be in pretty good condition.

You're lucky. Ours charges £5 for a measly sized compost bag worth of
hardcore disposal. It has resulted in a lot of rural fly tipping :(

(and for asbestos waste which to their credit they do also accept).

Our local one (Wandsworth, on the river in the apt named Smuggler's Way)
seems to be happy to take anything that will go into a car or estate for
free. Excepting 'chemicals'.

It's a relatively new facility. Replaced the old one perhaps 30 years ago.
When all that river front was abandoned warehouses, etc. Now they've gone
and replaced by v. expesive high rise 'luxury appartments'. Who are
lobbying to have the waste transfer place closed.

It was very useful when I was refurbishing my daughter's flat, just off the
Wandsworth One Way system.

Talk to your local roofing firm.

They will know if there is a demand in your area, and if there is they may
well offer to take them off your hands and pay you as well.

Cheers
