FAQs — Tile & Slate Roof Repairs
1.Can a single cracked tile cause a roof leak?
-Yes — even one cracked or slipped tile can allow water underneath the roofing layer, leading to internal damp or leaks. It’s best to replace damaged tiles as soon as possible.
2.How do you fix broken roof tiles?
-We carefully remove the damaged tile, check the surrounding area for cracks, and fit a matching replacement. Ridges and joints are sealed to ensure no further leaks.
3.How long does a slate roof last?
-Well-maintained slate roofs can last over 80–100 years. However, individual slates or fixings may need replacing over time due to weather and natural wear.
4.What causes slates to slip?
-Often it’s nail fatigue (nails rusting over time), wind uplift, or failed fixings. We re-fix with copper or stainless-steel nails to ensure long-term stability.
Don’t ignore damaged tiles or loose slates — they can quickly lead to costly leaks.
