Missing Roof Tiles: What Should You Do?
A missing tile can look minor from the ground, but it can expose layers of the roof that are not designed for direct weather.
Check safely from the ground
Look for visible gaps, loose pieces, broken tile fragments, or daylight through loft spaces. Avoid walking on the roof.
Watch for weather changes
If heavy rain is forecast, a missing tile can become more urgent. Water can find its way under surrounding tiles.
Request local quote options
Share the number of tiles you can see missing, your postcode, and how urgent it feels. A clear request helps local roofers understand the job.
