Dreadnought Tiles
Dreadnought Tiles is a family-run manufacturer on a site where clay tiles have been produced since 1805, and under the Davenhill family since 1902. As founder members of the Clay Roof Tile Council, they have a total commitment to the superiority of clay as a roof covering. The materials have been tested in real conditions over many generations and the company is proud of the outstanding aesthetic and traditional qualities of its products. Dreadnought, uniquely amongst present day manufacturers, can maintain that its wide range consists entirely of genuine, naturally burnt clay colours - Staffordshire Blue through to Blue Brindle, Brown Heather, Country Brown, Brown Antique and Plum Red, all obtained without the use of applied stains or pigments. This is achieved by harnessing traditional kiln firing expertise to the exceptional control provided by modern single tile high, fast fire kilns. The size, weight and thickness of Dreadnought tiles has been unaltered throughout the century. This makes them ideal for both renovation and new work.

Keymer uses the same craft skills which existed in the 18th and 19th centuries, manufactured under a strict quality assurance system.
