Roof tile replacement in Billingshurst for cracked, slipped and missing tiles. We match the new tiles to your roof and fix them securely, with no call-out charge to come and look.
A single missing or cracked tile lets rain onto the felt underneath. Older felt is often brittle, so water soon reaches the battens and rafters. Replacing a tile early is a small job, while leaving it can mean rotten timbers and a much bigger repair later.
Tiles come in many shapes, sizes and colours, and older ones are often no longer made. We match yours as closely as possible, using reclaimed tiles where that gives a better look. On a very visible roof slope, we talk you through the options first.
Tiles usually slip when the nail holding them rusts through or the batten behind them rots. Frost can also crack older clay and concrete tiles. If several tiles are moving on the same slope, it can be a sign the battens or fixings are failing more widely.
Tell us which tiles are damaged, and send a photo if you can see them from the ground. We visit, check the area around the damage and the loft below, and give you a free quote that includes matching tiles and access.
On the day, we set up safe access, ease out the broken tiles, check the felt and batten underneath and repair them if needed. The new tiles are slid into place and fixed, so they sit level with the rest of the slope and keep the rain out.
Tell us what's happening with your roof. We aim to respond the same day, and there's no call-out charge.
We look at the roof, explain what we've found in plain terms and give you a free, no-obligation quote.
We carry out the work we quoted for, then talk you through what we've done before we leave.
It mostly depends on access and how many tiles need replacing, rather than the tiles themselves. Tiles that can be reached safely with a roof ladder cost less to replace than ones needing scaffolding. There's no call-out charge, and we give you a free quote first.
Usually, yes. Many older homes have handmade or discontinued clay tiles, so we look for reclaimed tiles of the same type and colour. If an exact match isn't possible on a visible slope, we can move matching tiles from a hidden area and use new ones there.
Not always, but it shouldn't be left long. One slipped tile in dry weather can wait a few days for a booked visit. If water is coming in, or a tile looks loose enough to fall, call us straight away, as we offer 24/7 emergency call-outs.
We'd advise against it. Working on a roof without proper access equipment is dangerous, and it's easy to crack more tiles by walking on them. Tiles also need fixing correctly so they don't slip again. It's a quick job for a roofer, and there's no call-out charge.
