Tile Roofing

We provide tile roof repairs, replacements and new tile roof installations using appropriate materials and established roofing methods. Every roof is assessed on site so we can recommend repair or replacement options that suit the roof structure and budget. Work includes repair of slipped or broken tiles, replacement ridge tiles, flashing and verge repairs, and finishing checks after installation.

Tile roof inspections and surveys

A thorough inspection identifies slipped or cracked tiles, areas of water ingress, deteriorating mortar or damaged flashings. We check both the external tile covering and accessible felt, battens and verges where possible.

After the survey we explain the findings, outline repair or replacement options and provide a written, no‑obligation quotation.

• Visual inspection of tiles, ridges and verges
• Check for signs of leaks or internal water damage
• Assess flashings, chimneys and valley areas
• Recommend repair vs replacement options
• Provide a clear written quotation

Tile roof repairs and maintenance

Repairs target the specific cause of a defect so the rest of the roof is retained where possible. Common work involves replacing slipped or broken tiles, re-bedding ridge tiles, renewing lead or other flashings and repairing damaged mortar at verges.

Routine maintenance can reduce the risk of leaks and extend the life of a tile roof; we can carry out localised repairs or planned maintenance visits as required.

• Replace broken or slipped tiles
• Re-bed and re-point ridge and verge mortar
• Renew or repair lead and other flashings
• Localised repairs to prevent further damage
• Advice on maintenance to reduce future issues

New tile roof installation

We install new tile coverings to match the property and roof structure, working with suitable roof battens, underlay and flashings. Each installation follows an assessment to confirm the roof timbers and structure are appropriate for the chosen tile type.

Work includes removal of the existing covering where necessary, preparation of the roof deck, installation of underlay and battens, fixing tiles and completing ridge and flashing details.

• Assessment of roof structure and suitability
• Supply and fix appropriate underlay and battens
• Tile laying to match existing or new specifications
• Complete ridge, verge and flashing details
• Final checks and clean-up on completion

What to consider before arranging work

Think about whether you need a full replacement or targeted repairs; an inspection will clarify the most economical and appropriate approach. Also consider access for scaffolding, removal of old materials and any planning considerations if your property is listed or in a conservation area.

We will discuss materials, colour matching, and any additional repairs such as chimney or gutter work so the quotation covers the full scope of required works.

• Decide between repair and full replacement after inspection
• Check access and scaffold requirements
• Consider matching tiles and roof appearance
• Include related work such as chimneys or gutters
• Ask for a written quotation detailing scope of work

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my tile roof needs repairing or replacing?

A survey will identify whether defects are localised or widespread. Many roofs can be kept serviceable with targeted repairs; replacement is usually recommended when there are multiple failing areas or underlying timber or underlay deterioration.

Do you provide written quotations?

Yes. After an inspection we provide a written, no‑obligation quotation setting out the recommended work and materials.

Can damaged tiles be matched to the existing roof?

Where possible we match tiles to the existing covering, but exact matches depend on availability. We will discuss suitable options and show samples where helpful.

Will work include checking flashings and chimneys?

Yes. Flashings, chimneys and valleys are common leak points and are included in our inspection and any relevant repair or replacement work.

Do you handle clean-up and disposal of old materials?

We include site tidying and removal of waste materials as part of the job, and will confirm any scaffold or waste arrangements in the quotation.
