What we offer in Summerstown

Common tile problems

• Failed ridge pointing — mortar deterioration, common after 20-30 years
• Porous tiles — end-of-life indicator on concrete tiles
• Storm damage — wind-driven, slipped or broken tiles

Tile repair vs replacement

• Single slipped tile — quick repair, £150-£300
• Multiple slipped tiles — usually failed battens, may need larger repair
• Failed ridge mortar — repointing or dry-fix upgrade
• Porous tiles at end of life — full re-roof recommended

Matching existing tiles

The biggest challenge with tile repairs is matching the existing. We source from major UK merchants:

• Marley, Redland, Sandtoft, Wienerberger still produce most profiles
• Discontinued profiles may need special order (4-6 weeks lead time)
• Different brand tiles of similar profile are often a good match
