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.
Milton Keynes — local context
Traditional material: Concrete interlocking tile (the city is largely 1970s-onwards).
Most Milton Keynes roofs are concrete interlocking tile approaching 30–50 year lifespan; the city is almost entirely post-1970 so conservation area restrictions are rare outside historic villages like Stony Stratford.
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.

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.
