Tile & Slate Replacement FAQs

How do I know if my roof tiles need replacing?

Common signs include cracked, chipped, or missing tiles, tiles that have slipped out of position, moss or algae growth causing lifting, water stains on ceilings, or tiles that are visibly worn or weathered. If your roof is 40+ years old, it's worth getting a professional inspection.

Can you match my existing roof tiles?

Yes, there is a wide range of tiles and slates we can source, matching materials for most roof types. For older or discontinued tiles, we can often find reclaimed materials or suitable alternatives that blend seamlessly with your existing roof.

How much does tile or slate replacement cost?

Individual tile replacements typically cost £150-£300 including access. Larger section repairs range from £500-£2,000 depending on the area and materials. Natural slate is more expensive than concrete tiles. We provide free quotes with no obligation.

What's the difference between clay and concrete roof tiles?

Clay tiles are more expensive but offer superior durability (100+ years), better colour retention, and traditional aesthetics. Concrete tiles are more affordable, highly durable (50+ years), and available in many styles. We'll recommend the best option for your property and budget.

How long do roof tile repairs take?

Minor repairs replacing a few tiles can often be completed in a few hours. Larger section replacements typically take 1-2 days. We work efficiently to minimise disruption and always leave your property clean and tidy.

Do you repair natural slate roofs?

Yes, we're experienced in all types of natural slate including Welsh, Spanish, and reclaimed slates. We can replace individual slates, repair sections, or carry out complete slate roof restorations. Natural slate requires specialist knowledge, which our team has in abundance.
