On the 18th February 2022, Storm Eunice arrived bringing disruption to many parts of the country and a record number of Red weather warnings being issued by the Met Office.

I recorded wind speeds of 52mph and this was enough to dislodge a roof tile which slide off the roof and smashed,

We are lucky in this town to have a distributor for the make of tiles I have, and they ordered a replacement for me.

The type and description of the tile I needed :

Sandtoft concrete double pantile right hand cloaked verge tile Rustic

The tile cost £11.50 and the roofer is due any day to fit it.

Update

15 March 22

I got let down by a roofer from Sommersham who promised they could do the job and in the end just didn’t bother coming or contacting me.

So I called the company I bought the tile from on the off chance they knew a roofer they could recommend, they gave me Matts number, and by 4pm on the same day, the new tile has been fitted.

While he was there I noticed a gap where the ridge tile meets the roof tiles, Matt said the plastic infill is missing so he nipped up and mortared this up, so we are watertight again 🙂

Very pleased with the job, the tile I lost was due to it not being secured with a nail, as nailing the replacement would mean removing all the preceding tiles as they overlap each other, so the workaround was to use an adhesive to bond the tile down.
