- There are times when we run out of spare roof tiles to replace cracked ones.
When there are large trees above a roof, chances are that falling branches will keep breaking tiles until the spares run out.
So, is there an effective way to repair the cracked roof tiles - so that there are no leaks.
This video explores the effective way to repair cracked roof tiles - that can remain as a permanent repair.
Great video, I'm sure replacing tiles are worthwhile compared to repairing, but when on a budget, sealing both the tile and the watercourse with weatherproof silicone is an excellent solution and I appreciate this video.
Many thanks for this most useful knowledge. As soon as it stops raining I’ll be on the roof doing a proper job.
Excellent video. I've been using liquid nails for these types of repairs and didn't know about putting silicon between the tile laps!
I used liquid nails once for a tile - after a few years of expansion and contraction I've hand liquid nails develop micro cracks, and let water seep in. Silicon stands up much better.
Thanks. Very good
Interesting. Makes me feel a bit better about using silicone as a quick fix rather than replacing the tile (if I had one).
silicon does breakdown overtime, heat and pressure!
How much is a roof tile again?
Wonder how long it will last, a year probably but 2 or 3?
Why wouldn't you just replace the tile.
I agree wholeheartedly. If you don't have the tile and it it is not manufactured any more, call around to tile bone-yards in your area.
🙄 Boral big hump. Absolute pain in the arse of a tile.
We've had nothing but trouble with these shit tiles.
Turn out I'm a better roofer than most of the licensed roofers here in QLD......!!
Nobody knows what they are talking about
Except this guy 😂👍
Thanks for the tips & advice as I've successfully replaced most of my roof myself when the insurance people said it couldn't be done.
We changed insurance after all this nonsense
boral tile ,It is the worst tile i ever seen
Silicon isn't UV friendly I guess
Outdoor grade silicone is.
I don't get this, roofing tiles are of a standard size and inexpensive if you only need a few the only reason I can think of regards to this type of repair is keeping bodge and scarper me in work!
Ridiculous. To all the people watching this is not how respectable roofers fix this problem. Take the tile out and take it to your local roofing supplies who wil sell you a new one
Dont silicon replace new tiles😅
to anyone watcbing this DO NOT DO THIS it does not work i replace tiles like this once a week call your roofer and they will put a full tile in problem solved do not trust or pay anyone who silicones tiles
