From the outside, a broken or slipping tile might not seem like a big deal, but water can quickly seep in. The felt underlay is left exposed by even one missing tile, and once it becomes wet or damaged, water seeps into the roof's structure. It's the type of thing that is simple to put off and typically becomes more expensive the longer it is put off.
We fix and replace slates and tiles that are missing, slipped, or broken throughout Swindon and the surrounding area. The majority of tasks are simple and only require one visit to finish. Please contact us if you see a tile that is missing or falling, and we will take swift action to fix it.
9 out of 10 broken or slipped tile callouts are resolved in a single visit, a straightforward fix that costs a fraction of what a neglected tile can lead to if water is allowed to work its way in unchecked.
Common Tile & Slate Repairs in Swindon
Broken Tiles
Tiles can break and crack due to age, impact, or frost damage. With each downpour, water seeps through a cracked tile. We replace damaged tiles with ones that closely resemble the color and profile of your current roof.
Missing Tiles
A missing tile must be replaced right away, whether it was loosened by something else or blown off during a storm. We have a variety of standard tile profiles in the van so that we can complete the majority of replacements in a single visit.
Damaged Verge Tiles
Verge tiles are especially vulnerable to wind because they run along the edge of a gable end. The edge of the roof becomes vulnerable if they slip or if the mortar bedding fails. Verge tiles are re-fixed and re-bed, and where the mortar has deteriorated, we repoint.
Damaged or Slipped Roof Tiles Around Flashings
Tiles near skylights, roof penetrations, and chimney flashings are particularly vulnerable to movement and damage. As part of a repair visit, we replace and re-fix the tiles in these areas while also assessing the state of the surrounding flashing.
Slipped Tiles
When the batten itself rots, the nibs that hook tiles onto it break, or the fixings deteriorate over time, tiles slip. The weatherproof layer of your roof is being compromised by a slipped tile that is out of alignment. We replace or repair any slipping tiles and look around to see if anyone else is in danger.
Slipped or Broken Slates
When they slip or crack, natural and fiber cement slates require the proper technique because they are fixed differently than concrete or clay tiles. We replace and repair slates with the proper fasteners and methods based on the type of slate.
Nail Sickness
Nail sickness is the term for the deterioration of the original fixing nails on older roofs. Tiles start to gradually slide across the roof once it takes hold. We evaluate the severity of the issue and offer advice on whether your roof would benefit from isolated repairs or a more extensive re-fix program.
How We Handle Broken & Slipped Tile Repairs in Swindon
Roof Inspection
We don't simply swap out the outwardly visible tile and go. We look around for anything else that might be in danger, like loose, cracked, or moving objects. Because tiles don't usually fail one at a time, you can avoid getting called out again by catching the ones that are about to fail.
Clear Quote
Before any work begins, we will clearly explain what we have discovered and what needs to be done, along with a clear estimate. We will bring up any additional roof issues we find, without putting any pressure on you to do any more work that day.
The Repair
The majority of slate and tile repairs are finished in a single visit. We work fast to restore the weathertightness of your roof and have a variety of standard profiles on the van.
Check and Sign Off
Before we depart, we make sure everything is sitting properly, remove any debris from the roof and gutters, and make sure all the tiles that have been replaced and reinstalled are secure. If we notice anything else that needs attention, we'll let you know.
