Angel1403 Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 Hi folks, I noticed that a few of our roof tiles appear to be slightly raised at the bottom? Any common reason for this and is a repair needed to get them sitting flat against the rile below? Thanks in advance ☺
Angel1403 Posted February 1, 2021 Author Posted February 1, 2021 Hopefully a roofer/expert can give me some feedback ?
joe90 Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 That looks strange, not come across it before with concrete tiles. Can you get up there easily and “jiggle” them about? Unless something is between the tiles holding them up I can’t see why this has happened ?♂️.
Mr Punter Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 Have you looked at the battens / rafters / trusses in the loft? Something looks amiss.
Angel1403 Posted February 2, 2021 Author Posted February 2, 2021 Thanks for the replies..I will organise a roofer to check it. No obvious issues inside the loft space. Where we are can get very windy, wonder if the wind has managed to flip them up/move them? Thank you
Angel1403 Posted February 2, 2021 Author Posted February 2, 2021 Could it be wind, as it can be pretty windy where we are, particularly during storms?

Yes: frankly it wont be anything else. Look at other houses that have the same orientation and same roof type. Has the same happened? My instinct is not to worry, but to keep a close eye on it - and other local roofs if you can. A quick look in the roof space is also worth it. 1

I have used him at a previous house and he did not do any work on that roof when he visited, as non required, so he should give me an honest opinion/assessment. From the picture he wondered if the batton bellow the tiles in question is broken/rotten. However, during or text message conversation I forgot to mention that we are in an open high exposed windy location, particularly during a storm, as we are the end terrace house.
