Slipped Tile Repairs in Alton

Slipped Tile Repairs in Alton

Alton customers looking for slipped tile repairs turn to Hampshire Roof Repairs. A tile slips when the fixing holding it in place fails — a corroded nail, a snapped nib on the tile itself, or a batten that's rotted underneath it and lost its grip. Once a tile has moved even a small amount out of its overlap with the tiles around it, the roof covering at that point stops shedding water the way it's designed to, and wind can get underneath and work the tile further loose over time. A slipped tile is also rarely a one-off — if the fixing on one tile has failed, nearby tiles fixed at the same time, in the same conditions, are often not far behind. Re-fixing a slipped tile properly means checking why it moved in the first place, not just pushing it back into place, and having a look at the tiles either side while access is already there. Alton's conservation-area town centre has genuine period roofing — clay tile and some slate — old enough that we regularly find slipped tiles from failed nibs and fixings rather than storm damage as the root cause. Outside the historic core, the newer housing sees more straightforward, weather-driven repairs, but matching materials properly matters more here than in a town without listed buildings nearby.
