Put displaced and damaged tiles right.
A missing tile can expose the roof to further rain damage. We check the affected area and the condition of nearby materials.
Signs you may notice
A gap in the roof covering, a tile sitting out of line, pieces on the ground or ridge sections that appear to have moved can signal damage. Keep clear of the area below loose materials and take any photographs from ground level.
Possible causes
Tiles and ridge details can be affected by damaged materials, worn or failed fixings and weather-related movement. Nearby coverings may also have been disturbed. A single visible gap does not show the full extent of the fault.
Matching tiles and checking nearby fixings
A suitable replacement needs to work with the existing covering. We check the type and condition of the affected tiles and discuss availability and any visible differences in replacements. Adjacent tiles and fixings need considering so the scope addresses more than the obvious missing piece.
Ridge damage and roof details
Loose or damaged ridge pieces require assessment of how they are secured and the condition of adjoining materials. The appropriate repair depends on the existing arrangement and the extent of deterioration.
How we assess and repair
Share the property postcode, what you can see and whether water is entering. We discuss safe access and assess the affected section, including surrounding tiles and ridge details where relevant.
The quote explains the replacement or repair work, materials and access arrangements. A contained defect may allow a limited repair; wider damage is discussed before agreeing a broader scope.
Your questions answered
Can you replace just one roof tile?
A single replacement may be suitable if the fault is contained and nearby materials and fixings are sound. Access and tile availability still need checking.
Will a replacement tile match exactly?
We consider compatibility with the existing roof. Age, weathering and availability can affect appearance, so any expected difference should be discussed before work starts.
Should I collect a fallen tile?
Only if it is in a safe place away from further falling material. A ground-level photograph can be useful; there is no need to retrieve it or climb onto the roof.
