FAQs
What causes roof tiles to slip on properties in Lancing?
The most common reasons are age-related deterioration of the tile nibs or fixings, corrosion of the nails in salty coastal air, high winds coming off the Channel, and inadequate ventilation that lets battens rot. Poor workmanship on previous repairs can also leave tiles unsecured. Our inspections identify the exact cause so it can be fixed for good, not just patched.
How do I know if my slipped tiles need urgent repair?
Look for visible gaps in the roof covering, tiles lying in the gutter or on the ground, damp patches or brown staining on interior ceilings, or daylight showing in the loft. Because Lancing’s weather can change quickly, even one displaced tile can let wind-driven rain soak the underfelt and roof timbers, so call us as soon as you notice anything unusual.
What is your process for repairing slipped tiles in Lancing?
1) We carry out a free site survey, photographing any damage. 2) Loose or broken tiles are carefully removed. 3) We inspect and replace damaged battens or felt, treating any rot. 4) New galvanised or stainless-steel fixings are installed to withstand the coastal climate. 5) Matching replacement tiles are fitted and mechanically fixed in line with BS 5534. 6) Finally we tidy the site and issue a workmanship guarantee.
Will the new tiles match my existing roof?
Yes. We keep a large stock of reclaimed clay, concrete and slate tiles common to Lancing and the wider Adur district. If your exact tile is no longer manufactured, we source the closest possible match or use reclaimed originals so the repair blends seamlessly with the surrounding roofscape.
How much does it cost to fix slipped tiles?
A straightforward replacement of one or two tiles typically starts around £90–£120 including call-out and materials. Larger areas needing new battens or felt can range from £250 to £600. Before any work begins we provide a written, itemised quotation so you know the exact cost, and there are no hidden extras.
Can you carry out emergency roof repairs during bad weather?
Absolutely. We operate a 24/7 emergency call-out service in Lancing and neighbouring areas. In high winds or heavy rain we first install a temporary waterproof covering or ‘make-safe’ fix to stop further ingress, then return when conditions allow to complete a full, permanent repair.
