Replacing some concrete roof tiles
Вставка

- I had a couple of cracked roof tiles that needed to be replaced, so I tried my hand at replacing them. I already had several extra roof tiles that I believe are from the builder, so I just used those to replace the broken tiles even though the colors on the roof have faded some.
I actually used crazy glue to glue broken pieces to each other without removing broken tile. Lol. That was a few years ago - still has held up.
I wish I knew them how to do this
Thanks a ton for this video. Solar installers cracked a few concrete tiles, and I was able to very easily replace them with the information from your video... and I didn't even need to wear full Y swag to get it done!
Regarding the chipped corner tiles; typically chipped tiles are not a concern unless they extend beyond the 3" head lap. If they do extent near or past the lap, they should be replaced as water can wick and influence the felt. Repeated moisture influence will cause the felt to deterioration prematurely.

This was great. My tiles were able to be replaced the same way!
What is tricky is finding match tiles for your roof if it is over 5 years old...good Idea to stock up when you first put up your roof!
Sweet gloves... Slamson is my hero!
Thank you so much! I can,t believe it was that easy!!!!
Nice video ! I have a cracked tile up there, but too bad don’t have the replacement in hand. Have to go buy it tomorrow! Thanks
There is no way this will work on my roof in Florida. Each tile is secured with two stainless screws so to push ones up you would need to break the tiles. Also if you don't have some method to secure the tiles after reinstalling the new ones they just slide down over time and you have to fix them again. I have had a roofer glue them but that also goes bad over time. Love the roof but repair is a nightmare.
This is a realistic roofer... use liquid nails and make sure its for exterior / uses for masonary which will work for the tile chips
is liquid nails also good for bonding concrete roofing tile too? Thanks
how was he able to remove/slide the top tile but yet the broken tile had a nail.
I was wondering the same thing. I have noticed that my tiles are nailed every other row. I wonder if that is typical.
@@ejones6681 It is.
Helpful video, thanks.
Thanks for the video. I hope you nailed those tiles back in. I couldn't tell if you did. Also, I like your gloves.
You don't nail the tiles lol... They slide on and connect together
@@winstonchurchill5731 Tiles are 100% nailed or screwed in. - Solar Installer -
@@davidtucker6207 im in England our tiles on most building's are concrete which slide on to each other and are no longer made
@@davidtucker6207 1:05 you clearly see him connect the tiles
He didnt use any nails, screws, or glue?!?
But how do you make the other leaves go up if they are nailed?
Exactly.. all my tiles are nailed down.
You don't. You have to remove the tiles from the ridge down to the broken one!
Thank you for the information great job
I'm just not going to worry about those broken corners....
Are the tiles 100 percent concrete ? Or is there any other ingredient like poly
Does anyone have an idea about how much it would cost to replace 5 broken concrete tiles?
I would say around £150 to £300 depending on the roofer and distorted would have to travel and if there a sole trader or a big team
Why was your ridge tiles not cement beded on????
i have a tiled roof with a bad pitch water getting in at the gutter is it moss its a flat tile....thanks
Do you need to nail the tiles back in? And how ?
You don’t need to nail them in fact is better not to
How do you change the tile at the very top that cracked? The one above that
Tiles aren't nailed down?
terimakasih Sir gitu toh caranya gampang atuhhh
These look like danum? What they called
Thanks for this video. It's super helpful! Curious how you broke a tile while you were up there? Just wondering so I can try to be extra careful myself when I work on my own tiles.
I stepped in the middle of the tile, At the bottom and at the top, the tile is directly supported underneath, but in the middle its hollow so thats the weak spot.
Sweet.
As these tiles cost £8 each I've taken to repairing with gorilla glue glueing them together, works a treat
I managed to get 6 of these tiles for £7.56 (in total). Goto your local building suppliers
If they are Marley modern, you shouldn’t have to pay more than £1.20 per tile, in bulk they come in at about £1.05
Are Marley moderns a good roofing tile or what the best brand concrete tile you can get
How come some on nailed and some are not?
On my roof, every other row was nailed. I'm not a roofer so I don't know if that is normal.
Why not just glue those 2 pieces back together with some RT600?
Lol
Where does one buy spare roof tiles?
If you are in a larger city, you can go to what roofers call the Boneyard. These are where builder and roofer sell back extra unused tiles for display and reselling.. it helped with you have an intact sample of what you have, manufacturer is often printed in the bottom of the tile, boneyard people may by helpful in pointing in the right direction and direct you to the general vicinity on where to drive, they you look and handle the tiles that look good, I would suggest after all that effort you buy some extras, because if it happened once, it’s going to happen again.
You didnt seal the hole
