Are These Heather Brown Tiles?

[Old Mod]

Hey guys,
Just a quick thing hopefully.
Am I right in thinking these are Dennis Ruabon Heather Brown RE's?
Thanks everyone.

@Paul C. can u source these by any chance?
I need half a dozen, cheers!
Marc.

Nope...... Going by the chamfer on the edge, looks more like the Daniel Platts Crown Autumn Blend.

Platts went down the pan about 12 years ago so no hope in getting the same now. Ruabon also closed down but looks like they have re-opened. So your closest match is going to be the Ruabon Flame.

We don't deal with them anymore, so now we only stock the Gres Aragon, but they are naff in comparison.

***update*** got a load of old platts stock in the yard of one of the showrooms. I've asked them to have a look to see if there is anything of any use. will keep you posted

I have news.... None of the 12mm in stock. But if you have any way of grinding down an 18mm or diggin out a bit of the step and cutting a profile to slot over the vertical tile, you may be in luck.

Got on of the guys popping up this arvo, so will get a piccy and post it up later today.

When you seeing them? Do you want this one as a sample? If so, PM the address and I'll get it sent out. Maybe Monday if I can wing it, if not Tuesday?

 

[Old Mod]

Should be able to speak this afternoon mate, don't panic about sending out today Paul.
If it's suitable early next week is just fine, thank you!
U've been a great help Paul,
Really appreciate it.
Be in touch hopefully later.
Cheers mate!

Ok so a couple of plain tiles have been unearthed, literally and this is what they are.

I'd imagine this will be a little more difficult to source, so any guidance would be truly appreciated.
Cheers guys.

:O Deflated! Thought I had it spot on.... I can be forgiven for mistaking the two. They're virtually identical colours.

Hawkins also long gone..... I remember our company discontinuing them when I first started 17 years ago

MarleyEternit only do roofing now. Thinking cap is back on.

 

[Old Mod]

No don't be deflated Paul! Haha think u done excellent myself!
I asked for them to check again and half a dozen were found at the back of a janitors cupboard, the box has almost turned to dust haha
Clients out apparently, not sure when he's back!
Yeah I found Marley on line and obviously see that they're roofing only now!
So I might be reducing them to 12mm yet, cos there's certainly no RE's in the box!
It's outside a couple of grand old buildings in west London so they're gonna want as close a match as poss.
So who knows to what length I'm gonna have to go to to try match them!
This is the street!
