Missing and slipped roof tile repairs

Replacement and refixing of damaged clay tiles, concrete tiles and roof slates.

A small visible defect can expose a larger area.

A displaced tile or slate can leave the underlay and battens exposed to wind-driven rain. We check why it moved, inspect nearby coverings and replace or refix the affected materials with attention to the surrounding roof.

Clay and concrete roof tiles

Natural and fibre-cement slates

Ridge, hip and verge defects

Careful profile and colour matching

Why roof tiles slip

Storms, corroded fixings, deteriorated battens, impact damage and age can all cause movement. Repeated slipping in one area can indicate a fixing or substrate problem that needs more than a single-tile replacement.

Matching an existing roof

We identify the material, profile, size and colour before sourcing a suitable replacement. Weathering means an exact visual match is not always possible, but the repair should remain technically compatible with the roof.

Checking the adjoining roof area

The surrounding coverings, battens, underlay and roof details are checked where accessible. If deterioration is widespread, we will explain whether a local repair remains sensible or a wider section needs attention.

Common questions.

Can you replace just one roof tile?+

Yes, when the adjoining roof is sound and a suitable covering can be sourced. The survey determines whether the defect is isolated.

Is a slipped tile an emergency?+

It becomes urgent when the roof is open to rain, water is entering or loose material could fall. Call us if any of those conditions apply.

Can you match an older tile?+

We check reclaimed and current products where appropriate. We will explain the closest practical match before work begins.
