Repairs
Broken and Missing Roof Tiles
A single missing tile can let water reach the underlay and timbers below. It's one of the most common — and most worthwhile — repairs.
About this service
Broken and Missing Roof Tiles from Master Roofing & Flat Roofing
Tiles and slates crack through age, frost, impact or foot traffic, and they can slip when nails or nibs fail. Once one goes, wind can work its way under neighbouring tiles.
We replace damaged tiles with the closest available match and check the surrounding covering so we can tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Signs of tile damage
- Tiles or slates visible in the garden or gutter
- Gaps or exposed underlay on the roof slope
- Cracked or chipped tiles
- Slates that have slipped out of line
- Rattling or lifting tiles in high winds
Options
What the repair involves
Tile matching
Sourcing a matching or compatible replacement tile or slate.
Secure fixing
Fixing replacements with nails, clips or tingles appropriate to the covering.
Underlay check
Checking the underlay and battens beneath the damaged area.
Surrounding inspection
Looking at nearby tiles for similar wear or loose fixings.
Benefits and practical considerations
- Discontinued tiles may need a reclaimed or close-match alternative.
- Widespread slipping can indicate fixing failure across the roof.
