Every so often you will see minor problems that require tile roof repair. Seven important things that you need to be aware of: more bonuses?

1.The cost of repairs is lower

A repair is often cheaper than replacing your entire or section of tile roof, especially if it’s a minor damage.

Choose the right tiles to replace

In certain cases (if the tile you need is not readily available), it may not be possible to replace all the tiles. But, it is almost always more cost-effective to replace a couple of tiles, rather than fix the cracks. A reputable roofing company will be able to do both.

3.Matching the Tiles Can be Tricky

It can be difficult to match the tile in many cases. Tile roofs last decades or even centuries. It can be challenging to find the exact tile that you need in the marketplace. You should have your roof repaired by a specialist.

4.Residential Roofs with Tiles Are Usually Boarded

Instead of metal sheeting or other roofing materials, tiles can be quite heavy. That means that they were installed onto a substrate. Sometimes, the roof tile repair includes repairing both this substrate as it does the tile.

5.Roof Tiling is a Specialist Trade

Some people mistakenly believe they can fix or replace broken tiles on their own. It is also not recommended that this be a Do-It-Yourself project. It is not a DIY project. Professional roof tile repair requires specialized skills and knowledge.

If you choose the same color range for your tile and use it, the new one may be a poor match to the old. It is because all roofs age with time. And your new tiles are not exposed to weather. The new tile will be blending in to the older one as the color fades over time.

7. This could be your edge capping to blame

You may need to repair your roof tiles if there is a problem. In most cases, roof leaks can be traced to poorly waterproofed ridges.
