All roof tiles should work it wood just be a matter of nailing them

Peter · Answer

Go for a flat tile a do recommend crest roofing tiles and get tile clips so they are nailed and clipped on all roof areas

Shaun · Answer

Marley flats and have the nailed in good this will stop all tiles blowing away make sure wood under is not rotten also and use clips at bottom to extra support in the roof

Thomas · Answer

All tiles are wind tested to stand over70 miles per hour ,even slates natural or man made,but it’s like every thing you need a first class roofer who has worked on site , and has a lot of knowledge of fixing specifications, most tiles need nailing and clipping sometimes every one , or at least Chinese chequers ( nail one,miss one sy) a good roofer should know .. so ask questions look at Marley or Redlands specifications

Haydn · Answer

As long as u use a concrete tile and nail every tile down it will be ok 
My brother lives on morecombe see front and I have done his roof with Marley moderns it’s been done 14 month and no problems even after the recent storms we have had 
Slate is also a good option as thay are all nailed and very flat to allow wind to just flow over but bit more expensive 
Hope this helps
