Slipped and Missing Tile Repair Cost
A slipped tile is the cheapest job on this site and the most commonly misread. The tile is rarely the problem. The problem is the fixing, and once fixings start failing on a roof of a certain age they carry on failing, one gale at a time. Here is what the repair costs and how to tell which of the two situations you are in.
- Priced on access and height, not on the number of tiles
- Surrounding tiles checked while the crew is up there
- Matching salvaged tiles sourced where the pattern is discontinued
- Photos of what we found sent with the invoice
- Honest answer on whether more will follow
Why tiles slip

Slipped tiles, common questions
Can I just leave a slipped tile?+
For a few weeks in dry weather it is unlikely to hurt. Through a North East winter the exposed underlay takes wind driven rain, degrades, and the small job becomes a batten job. It is worth doing before the weather turns.
Do you need scaffold to refix one tile?+
Usually not. Most single tile refixes are a ladder or tower job. If the tile is high on a steep elevation or over a conservatory, we will price access properly rather than take a risk.
Why did the tile slip after a dry spell rather than a storm?+
Corroded nails fail under their own load, not just wind. That is why slipped tiles often appear on still days on older roofs, and it is a stronger signal of general nail fatigue than a storm loss is.
