What the job involves

Slipped and missing tiles are usually repaired by refixing existing tiles where they can be recovered, or replacing them with matching units from a merchant. The job itself is quick — the slower part is identifying the right matching tile, especially on older clay or concrete roofs where the original product may be discontinued.

If more than a handful of tiles are slipping at once, the underlying cause is usually nail-fatigue or a failed underlayment, which needs addressing at the same time.

Bristol — local context

Traditional material: Welsh slate on Georgian terraces, Pennant stone on older buildings.

Clifton Village, Hotwells, and large parts of central Bristol are conservation areas with dense Georgian and early-Victorian terraces where slate re-roofs generally have to match the original material and course.

What changes the price

  • Number of tiles and how scattered they are across the roof.
  • Ladder vs scaffold access — second-floor and above usually needs a tower.
  • Whether matching tiles are available or need to be sourced from a reclamation yard.
  • Travel and callout time in outlying areas.

Timeline: Usually 2–4 hours on site for a handful of tiles.

Common questions

How many missing tiles is too many for a repair?

As a rough guide, more than about five slipped or missing tiles across a single roof slope usually points to a systemic issue — ageing nails, perished underlay, or wind damage. At that point you’re in repair-vs-replace territory.

Can a roofer match tiles from a 30-year-old roof?

Often yes, from reclamation yards or by sourcing similar profiles from the same manufacturer. Exact colour match is harder once tiles weather. Expect a small visible difference on new units until they age in.
