Description
Cocks Comb Ridge Tile 18″ Red Reclaimed
These reclaimed red clay cocks comb crested ridge tiles add character and tradition to any roofing or garden project. Ridge tiles have long played a vital role in protecting rooflines from water ingress while completing the look of a roof. Their origins date back centuries, when hand-crafted clay ridges became both functional and decorative. The cock’s comb design, also known as sawtooth, is one of the most popular and traditional ridge tile patterns found across Britain. It brings texture and a sense of history to any setting.
Terracotta is the ideal material for making ridge and roofing tiles. It withstands harsh weather, allows natural ventilation and resists frost damage. Its durability ensures that well-made tiles last for decades, even centuries. These reclaimed red clay cocks comb crested ridge tiles demonstrate that strength beautifully. They carry the subtle signs of their age and prior use, which only add authenticity. Patches of moss and lichen, natural discolouration, and small chips and worn edges are all typical features.
The angle of these tiles suggests they came from a roof with a steep pitch, so checking suitability before purchase is important. Each tile measures 18 inches long, meaning they cover a wide span of roofline. Fewer tiles are required, saving both time and cost during installation. However, they are heavier to handle, so care is advised when lifting and positioning them.
Alternative Uses
Beyond roofing, these reclaimed red clay cocks comb crested ridge tiles offer creative possibilities in the garden. When securely bedded with suitable support, they make distinctive path edgings.

Every reclaimed red clay cocks comb crested ridge tile brings history, craftsmanship and a sustainable story to your project. Each one connects old buildings to new ideas, blending heritage with practical reuse.
