Как да използвате Roof Tile Calculator — roof tiles do I need?
Estimate field-tile quantity from actual roof surface area, manufacturer tiles-per-square-metre coverage and waste.
Tile quantity = roof surface area × tiles per square metre × (1 + waste percentage), rounded up.
Estimate field-tile quantity from actual roof surface area, manufacturer tiles-per-square-metre coverage and waste. The linked Sellible tool keeps the fields, units and output together so the assumptions can be reviewed before the result is used.
- 1
Calculate the sloping area of every roof plane.
- 2
Use the exact gauge and coverage for the chosen tile.
- 3
Apply job-specific waste and round to pack or pallet quantities.
Example values and result
These values demonstrate the method; replace them with measurements, rates or file details that match the real task.
- Roof surface
- 100 m²
- Tile coverage
- 10 tiles/m²
- Waste allowance
- 10%
- Planning quantity
- 1,100 tiles
The result covers field tiles only unless the selected product coverage states otherwise. Ridge, hip, verge, valley and ventilation units should be scheduled separately.
Точност и практически насоки
- Confirm minimum pitch, headlap and batten gauge.
- Separate field, ridge, hip, verge and special tiles.
- Check colour batches, pallet quantities and safe delivery position.
Common mistakes
- Using floor area instead of roof surface area.
- Applying a generic tiles-per-square-metre figure.
- Forgetting cuts and breakage around hips, valleys and openings.

Can I use this guide and Roof Tile Calculator on a phone?
Yes. The guide, inputs, results and calls to action are responsive and keyboard accessible on current phones, tablets and desktop browsers.
Should I order or make a decision from the estimate alone?
No. Confirm minimum pitch, headlap and batten gauge. Separate field, ridge, hip, verge and special tiles. The calculation is a planning aid rather than professional or regulatory approval.
How should I check the result?
Keep the source values and units visible, compare the result with supplier or project information, and retain enough precision until the final purchasing or reporting step.
