(54) Method and apparatus for making roofing tiles


(57) In a method and apparatus for producing tiles 10 which comprise an arcuate roll 12 and a gully 14, the tiles are continuously produced on apparatus which includes a plurality of pallets 4 and a forming head 8 arranged to define the shape of respective sides of the tiles 10. To enable different types of tiles to be produced while minimizing the necessity to interrupt operation of the apparatus, a cutter 9 is arranged to selectively cut the tiles 10 between the roll 12 and gully 14 to separate these parts so that the rolls 12 can be used as verge and/or ridge tiles.
