If you have a tiled roof – then sooner or later, you will have a broken roof tile. So, what happens if you get a cracked roof tile?
The easy way is to check around the house and see if there are some laying around and do it yourself.
Well, a properly executed silicone repair can be effective as a temporary (or even permanent) solution to this problem. However, I have seen so many broken roof tiles repaired with silicone and still leak. This is because the roof repairer did not know the basics of how a roof tile functions.
Most unsuccessful roof tile repairs are done without removal of the broken tile. This means that the visible crack is siliconed up but the all important drainage course that is hidden under the lap is left broken and un-sealed. This means that while the roof tile does not leak as bad – it still leaks.
The best way is to have me come and replace any broken tiles
