Overview
Slate & Tile Roof Repairs: what it is and when you need it
What it is
Slate and tile repairs replace individual slipped, cracked, broken or missing slates and tiles on a pitched roof, and re-secure the fixings around them. It keeps the roof covering continuous so rain runs off instead of getting in.
Who it's for
Owners of stone terraces, semi-detached and detached homes, and commercial buildings across Newcastle, Morpeth, Bedlington, Ashington and Northumberland, where natural slate and concrete or clay tiles are the most common roof coverings.
When it's needed
Look out for slates or tile pieces on the ground or in gutters, visible gaps in the roof line, a slate hanging lower than the rest, or a damp patch in the loft after rain. High winds are a common trigger.
Why use a professional roofer
Repairing slates without damaging the ones around them takes skill and the right tools. Done badly, one repair can crack three more. Our roofers bring 20 years' experience to the job.
The cost of waiting
What happens if it's ignored
A single slipped slate is a small job. Left alone, it rarely stays small.
Water under the covering
Rain gets behind the slates and onto the underlay and battens, which aren't designed to take it.
Wind uplift
A gap lets wind get under the next rows, so more slates or tiles come loose in the next storm.
Batten and nail failure
Damp battens and corroded nails are why slates slip in the first place; ignoring them means more slips.
Falling slates
Loose slates can slide off onto paths, cars and people below.
Common mistakes to avoid
- ✕Fixing slates with sealant or adhesive instead of proper fixings.
- ✕Mixing mismatched slates or tiles that don't lie correctly.
- ✕Walking on slates without crawl boards, causing more breakages.
- ✕Ignoring a single slipped slate until winter.

In detail
Slate & Tile Roof Repairs explained
Natural slate roofs
Natural slate is the traditional covering on many older homes across Morpeth, Newcastle and Northumberland. Slates are usually nailed to battens and can slip when nails corrode over time. Individual slates can be replaced using proper slate fixings, keeping the roof intact.
Concrete and clay tiles
Concrete interlocking tiles are common on post-war and newer homes, while clay tiles appear on a range of properties. Tiles crack from impact, frost or age, and can lift in high winds. Replacement tiles are matched to the existing profile so they lock in correctly.
When a repair becomes a re-roof
If slates are slipping all over the roof, it usually means the fixings have reached the end of their life across the whole roof. Our photo report will show this clearly, and we can quote for both options so you can compare. See our new roofs page for more on replacement.

Can you match my existing slates or tiles?
+
We aim to match the size, colour and profile of your existing slates or tiles so the repair blends in. We'll talk through options at the survey.
Why do slates keep slipping?
+
Usually because the nails holding them have corroded over time. When many slates are slipping, it can mean the fixings are failing across the roof.
Is one missing slate really urgent?
+
It's a small job, but it lets water and wind in. Fixing it quickly is cheaper than repairing the damage it can cause.
