Type of roof tiles

Hi,
Any idea what type of tiles are on this roof?
The property is in a conservation area and I am trying to understand how hard would it be to source the same tiles if needed.
Thanks!

It's not hard, it just might be more expensive.0

HiReadingTim said:It's not hard, it just might be more expensive.
It may be hard and that is true. It all depends on where you live, who you contact
OP - contact the local conservation officers as your LA as they may be able to help/direct/etc
Good luck0 -
We have a tile reclamation place here, you might have the same local to you, once you find out the type you need,
I've been with a friend when she needed a handful of replacement tiles for their period cottage and I was surprised just how many and how many different types they had!0 -
Thank you all, really helpful.

Needed a few replacement pin tiles (flat like yours) for my bay roof. They still make them, all be it to metric dimensions so slightly smaller than the originals. Also used some old imperial sized reclaims for the few that I couldn't use new ones.
Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
