Roof tiling
Roof tiling work can range from replacing a few storm-damaged tiles to renewing an entire worn roof covering.

Signs worth having checked.
- A slipped, cracked or missing tile
- Pieces of tile appearing below the roof
- Daylight visible from the attic
- Widespread frost damage, surface wear or failing fixings
Observe from a safe place. You do not need to access the roof to make an enquiry.
What the work may involve.
- Identification of the correct tile or closest practical match
- Removal of damaged tiles without disturbing sound areas
- Inspection of battens, underlay and fixings exposed by the repair
- Cutting and fixing replacement tiles to suit the roof detail
- A wider condition check when repeated tile failures are present
The actual work should follow an inspection and an agreed written quotation.
Will the new tiles match?
Profile, size, material and fixing requirements matter as well as colour. An exact match may not be available for older tiles, so ask to see the proposed alternative.
Before the inspection
A ground-level photograph of the roof and any previous repair information can help identify the covering.
What affects the price?
Access equipment, the extent of the fault, compatible materials and any underlying damage. Request a clear scope with exclusions, rather than relying on a price for an unseen roof.
What a clear quotation covers →Start with what you have noticed.
A leak, a loose slate or a roof ready for renewal. You do not need to diagnose the problem yourself.
