Look beyond the colour of a tile
See the tile, batten and roof-edge faults behind the repair proposal through Adam's inspection pictures.
A crack through the tile
A split running through a tile breaks its weathering surface. The surrounding laps and membrane need inspection as well as the damaged piece itself.
Rows no longer sitting evenly
Tiles dropping or lifting within a row need their battens, nibs and fixings checked. A level appearance alone cannot confirm support is sound.
Pieces breaking from the hips
Damaged hip tiles and failing bedding expose an important junction between slopes. The repair has to address how those pieces are secured.
Water at the lowest course
Rain passing behind the gutter calls for inspection of the tile overhang, eaves support and membrane termination, rather than an automatic gutter replacement.
Start with the tile profile and pitch
Match the repair to the tiles and support already on your roof. Adam photographs cracked pieces, ridge details and battens, then explains the replacement area in writing before you agree the price.
The roofers set out replacement work to suit the specified tile, including batten spacing, overlaps and the details at hips and valleys. Renewed membrane needs a proper route into the eaves, and the ridge finish needs secure fixings. Those details sit in the work plan alongside the visible tile choice. Adam keeps you informed with daily photo and video updates; no deposit is requested, and all workmanship carries the 10-year guarantee.

Concrete tiles across the Buckingham area
Milton Keynes' new-town estates from the 1970s and 1980s include many roofs with concrete interlocking tiles. Bletchley's interwar semis and Buckingham's mix of older and newer homes add other roof shapes and junctions. A tile that suits one slope is not automatically a substitute on another. Our recorded Bletchley repairs included tiles and hips, illustrating why the junctions deserve attention alongside the broad roof surfaces when Adam prepares a tiling proposal.
Consider the tile with the roof beneath it
Match replacement tiles to the existing profile and support, with the material choice recorded in your written price.
Concrete interlocking tiles
An interlocking profile has a specific laying and fixing arrangement that must suit the roof pitch and support. Adam checks the existing tile and explains the appropriate replacement specification, including edge and ridge components that belong with it.
Best for: Suitable interlocking tiled roofs
Clay roof tiles
Clay covering brings its own dimensions, overlap and detail requirements. On an older house, the existing appearance is part of the discussion as well as the structure, so Adam considers the material in the context of the property.
Best for: A clay-tiled roof specification

A customer’s account of the work
Hired Adam from Storm Shield roofing to replace my roof. Adam himself and his team did an excellent job the roof looks great! All my questions were answered they left no mess when they left I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
When estimating they were the only ones to actually inspect the roof! Provided photos and full explanation of the rework required to resolve the issue. Carried out the repair as planned, when planned with minimal disruption and no damage. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this business.
Job was completed quickly and efficiently. Adam was polite, friendly and professional. Communication was very good - I was kept informed of roofing choices, delivery dates and when the job would be started.
Tile choice changes the amount of work
A roof with many small tiles involves different setting out from an interlocking covering. The number of hips, valleys and abutments adds cuts and fixing work, and a damaged batten changes the repair underneath. Adam accounts for those details in the inspection quote so the material choice, access and supporting layers are all visible in the scope.

Tiled roofing questions
What is the best roof tile for a 1930s semi?
The right tile depends on the roof pitch, structure and existing appearance, including neighbouring houses on the same street. A familiar concrete profile is not automatically the answer for every interwar semi. Adam identifies the present covering and explains the repair match or replacement choice using the condition of your roof.
How long do concrete roof tiles last?
Condition gives a better answer than an age estimate for a particular concrete tile roof. Tiles, fixings and underlay do not all deteriorate together, and a serviceable covering can sit above failed support. A close inspection separates those issues and gives you a reasoned repair or re-roof proposal rather than a date-based verdict.
Can concrete tiles replace slate on a roof?
A change from slate to concrete requires the roof structure and proposed covering to be assessed together. Weight, pitch and external appearance all matter, along with any property-specific permissions. Adam's roof inspection supplies the starting information; the written proposal should specify the covering rather than simply describe it as replacement tiles.
Why is moss bad for a tiled roof?
Moss collects along tile joints and washes into gutters, so growth can interfere with drainage and hide damaged edges. Removing it also exposes the condition underneath. Adam checks the tiles and hips as part of the assessment, distinguishing cleaning work from broken components that require an actual roofing repair.
What is the difference between clay and concrete roof tiles?
Clay tiles are formed from fired clay, while concrete tiles use a cement-based mixture. Their profiles, dimensions and installation arrangements vary, so material alone does not describe the roof specification. Adam considers the tile shape, roof pitch and supporting structure before recommending what goes back onto your house.
