Roofing Repairs Stoke-on-Trent | Roof Tile Replacement

Potteries Fascias are a local roof repair company based in Stoke-on-Trent with over 15 years experience working on domestic properties across the city and the surrounding area. We carry out all types of roof repair work — from a single broken tile to full roof replacements — and we aim to be with you for a quote within 24 hours of your call.

Roof Repairs We Carry Out

Broken and slipped roof tiles are the most common job we deal with. A cracked or displaced tile doesn’t just look bad — it’s an open entry point for rainwater into the roof structure, which leads to damp, rot and much bigger repair bills if left alone. We replace individual tiles or larger sections as required, matching the existing tile style and colour where possible.

Ridge tile repairs are another frequent job, particularly on older properties in Stoke-on-Trent. Ridge tiles sit at the apex of the roof and are bedded in mortar, which deteriorates over time. Loose or missing ridge tiles are a common cause of leaks and should be fixed before winter. Mortar verges at the gable end fail in the same way, and we replace them with dry verge caps so the problem doesn’t come back.

Leaking roofs aren’t always caused by broken tiles. Flashing — the metal strips that seal joins between the roof and chimneys, skylights or walls — can crack, lift or corrode over time. We inspect and repair flashing as part of any roof repair visit and it’s often the fix that stops a persistent leak that new tiles alone won’t solve.

We also carry out chimney repairs, lead work, felt repairs and general roof maintenance across Stoke-on-Trent. If you’re not sure what’s causing the problem, call us and we’ll come out and take a look.

Slipped Tile Repairs in Stoke-on-Trent

A slipped tile is one that has slid down out of its row, leaving a gap in the roof where the felt and battens underneath are exposed to the weather. It’s one of the most common roof problems we see in Stoke-on-Trent, especially on older terraced and semi-detached houses where the original nails have rusted through over the years. Strong winds can also lift and shift tiles, so we get a lot of slipped tile call-outs after a storm.

Signs you have a slipped tile:

• A tile visibly out of line with the rest of the row, or a gap you can see from the street
• Pieces of broken tile in the garden, on the path or in the gutter
• A damp patch on a bedroom ceiling or water marks in the loft
• Daylight showing through the roof when you look up from inside the loft

To fix a slipped tile we lift the surrounding tiles, check the batten and felt underneath for damage, then refix the tile back in its row. Where the nails have failed and the tile can’t be re-nailed, we secure it with a tile hook or lead tingle so it stays put. If the tile is cracked or broken we replace it with a matching one. While we’re on the roof we check the tiles around it too, because where one tile has slipped others are often close behind.

Don’t leave a slipped tile until it gets worse. Even a small gap lets rain run onto the felt and battens, and that’s how a cheap repair turns into rotten timbers and a ceiling repair. If you’ve spotted a slipped tile anywhere in Stoke-on-Trent, call us for a free quote.
