[Closed] Where to get a single roof tile from

[#4669403]

One of the tiles on my garage has broken. The broken part has disappeared so sticking that back on isn't an option.

I've never seen single tiles in Wickes or B&Q so where can I get a single roof tile from?

And are they generally all the same or will I need to find a specific model?

Find a supplier, ask for a sample?

Managed to get a couple of roof tiles from my local building supplies yard after they blew off in a storm but that was a good few years back.

EDIT: Has anyone in your street had some roof work done, if so it might be worth a polite ask if they have any spare tiles or who was the builder was as they may have some spares

Take a tile to a local roofing supplier/builders merchant and say that you want another of the same.

They won't bite. It'll cost you no more than a quid or two i imagine.

Sticking a broken bit of tile back on wouldn't really be the way to go, even if you could find the bit.

Edit: alternatively, if you're not sure about how to take a tile off/replace it etc, get someone else to do it. You might end up breaking more if you're not careful.

I have a few in the back garden stacked, more than enough and yer welcome to one but I suspect they might all be different.
