- Cracked or slipped tiles. Often after Highveld hail, foot traffic or a fallen branch.
- Loose ridge capping. Mortar cracks and caps rock or lift in wind.
- Damp ceiling patches. Water is getting past tiles, flashing or a valley.
- Daylight in the roof space. Gaps where tiles have shifted or broken.
What the Work Includes
- Tile replacement. Broken tiles swapped for matching concrete or clay tiles.
- Ridge re-bedding. Old mortar removed and caps re-bedded or mechanically fixed.
- Valley repairs. Rusted or blocked valley gutters repaired or replaced.
- Flashing. Resealing or replacing flashing at walls, chimneys and vents.
- Underlay check. Torn underlay under broken tiles noted and patched where reachable.
Repair or Replace?
- Repair when damage is limited to a few tiles, a ridge line or one valley.
- Replace when tiles are brittle and break when walked on, or battens and underlay have failed widely.
- Matching tiles. Older profiles can be hard to find. Ask if the contractor can source matches.

- Number of tiles. One tile carries a minimum charge. Larger batches cost less per tile.
- Tile type. Clay tiles cost more than concrete tiles to supply.
- Roof pitch and height. Steep or double-storey roofs take more time and safety gear.
- Hidden damage. Rotten battens or torn underlay add to the job once tiles are lifted.

Tile Roof Repairs FAQs
Can I replace just one or two roof tiles?
Yes, but expect a minimum charge of about R600 - R950 for a single tile, as the call-out covers travel and setup.
What if my tile profile is no longer made?
Contractors can often source second-hand matches or take tiles from a hidden section and fit new ones there.
Why does ridge capping come loose?
The mortar cracks with age and temperature changes. Re-bedding or mechanical fixing secures the caps again.
Is walking on a tiled roof safe?
It can crack tiles and is risky. Leave it to the contractor, who knows where to step.
