While cleaning the moss from my roof I found a broken tile that had been bodge repaired but was hidden by the moss growth. I watched this video and was able to change the tile for a spare I had and it went just as described. Very pleased and thank you for the video.

Nice video, typical Northern dude, straight to the point and not a word wasted. Thanks

7 years on and this video is still getting new views! Great tutorial and very helpful, thank you, I am now roof bound to replace 3 tiles.

My great thanks for this videos, we just had a big storm in Brisbane Australia which pointed out a very broken tile above the toilet extraction fan (which got totally soaked), I had no idea how to do it, thanks to your video, it's now replaced and ready to go.

Just changed 10 roof tiles by following your video. Fantastic instruction. Many thanks. Paul

Thanks, not used to roofing tiles but your instructions made it easy!

Thank you sincerely, I’m autistic and have been working through renovating my house. During the disassembly of the scaffold for the main roof re-felt, I cracked a tile with a long pole. I struggle tackling jobs unless I know everything that I need to do. This being English and expertly explained, has totally put my mind at rest🥰🥰🥰😆😭💪

Great video. We had scaffolding up on our kitchen roof to get to the main roof to replace broken and missing tiles and the scaffolding broke 6 tiles under the boards they'd placed to spread the load. Scaffolders said they'd inform the roofer. We've tried for a week to get in touch but all means of communication have failed so now I have to source replacement tiles and do it myself before the rain comes next week 😡.

Excellent tutorial, I always wondered how tiles were secured in place. Thanks for the upload.

Another great video! Thank you for taking the extra time to make these, you've saved me a load of time and money as i have a better understanding on how to approach tasks. Very much appreciated mate!

Brilliant video. I'm going to attempt to replace 2 tiles which were broken by scaffolders last week. Thanks

Thank you so much, just got home and a tile right next to a velux window has slipped down. After watching this video going via the safety of the velux window with just my arms outside I pushed the above tile up, slid up the loose tile and screwed it back down followed by pulling back the tile above. Sorted!. The original nail for some reason wasn't long enough, the long thin screw worked a treat.

Simplified and easy to understand. Great video. 👍🏻

Perfect! Just the reminder I needed 💜

thanks for taking the time to show this .. really helpful

Thanks for sharing your skills. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the tutorial I’ve just smashed 3 of them dropped an iron gutter on them didn’t have a clue what to do thank you very much very kind of you to take the time

You may have just saved me a shed load of money. Thanks for the info.

Thank you for this. I had 2 broken tiles thanks to some scaffolders running amok and I managed to fix the damage.

Yo chez..the sun still shining and the grass is still growing.... and we love that... our tiles need replacing as the wasps get under them and make a home.... informative and never every three were nailed :) Neil

Just replaced one following your instructions - thank you!

Great video, thanks.

From London thanks nice video so helpful weldone.

Interesting & informative. Thanks.

Great video, saved me paying for a trade person. Big thanks

Very good and simple Thanks

Dunno why i watch videos like this even though ive done industrial roofing for 5 years now just always thought it be cool to know how to do all forms of roofing, thatch would be fun to learn

Great video. I've been doing it wrong for 20 years

Good video, I need to lift first row to install bird stop and this video is closest I have found

Always turn to your how to videos when I’m struggling. Great advice on removing the nailed tile. How do you re mail the tile that was nailed down originally? Thanks

Great help thanks

Excellent, thank you.

Great video thanks

Very useful info ;-)

Brilliant mate, any tips on replacing the nail and not breaking the new tile?

must say thank you. very clear dementartion！

Good job as always 👍🏻what is mixed with the cement to strengthen it when you showed the repaired one what is the fibre

Good informative video got a porch roof that I've cleaned all intact but looks aged 15 years and washed out would you paint dye replace or cover with plastic tiles please can I ask

Thanks...gr8 explanation :-)

thanks fella nice job.

THANK YOU! I think I was unlucky cause all the ones I checked was nailed, so I "assumed" they are all nailed an just cried a bit inside XD. Was for another project luckily not a broken tile. :P

great video I suggest you add " and repair damaged sarking" as well. I will use what you have shown to repair some damaged sarking. Thanks

would it not be possible to push the tile above the nailed one upwards before removing nails in order to gain easier access or am I overlooking something? thanks in advance

great job

nice vid hope you havin nice xmas here in caithness its grim very windy got the same tiles been watchin them been lifted up by wind and banging back down again, how strong are these tiles keep on expectin to hear them crack is it better to have every line nailed

storm doris took out 6 tiles big hole in the roof not happy thank for explaining how to change them

Pushing the tiles upwards out the way enables you to fit a new tile why didn't I think of that? 😊

very cool thanks enjoying

Any suggestions for painting those type of tiles?

Really helpful, thanks.

Great many thanks

Hi thanks for the video. I want to replace few files but don't know if all these tiles are universal sizes?

Hi mate , great vid , I have a dormer bungalow and all the water from the fibreglass part of the roof is channled down one row of tiles due to it collecting in the dormer gutter and flowing through the down pipe and as a result this one row of tiles are starting to look very thin due to the cascading water taking off the sandy surface , ( the tiles look identical to the ones you show in your video ) is it possible that I can just swap them around with some other tiles that are not getting the same treatment elsewhere on the roof ? You're advise would be greatly appreciated . Also now subscribed , have watched several of your other vids and have found them to be really helpful and informative, thanks and keep up the great work 👍

great,I now feel confident to replace my broken tile,will be using a ladder ,but roof is on a bungalow.

Hi, Great video! I have to replace the underlay felt on the bottom 2 rows. Any advice?

Thanks man.

Great video. I tried to replace few cracked tiles. I checked but there was no print underneath. I took it with me to the shop and looked like Marley one so bought that. It turned out it does not fit perfectly. Does Marley change them slightly over the years or maybe it is different manufacturer?

Thanks for the video, is is possible to change a marley tile from inside the roof. There is no access without scaffold or ladders.

Great video thanks. No use of a slate ripper to remove the nail?

Very useful video. However, I have a cracked tile two rows down from the ridges so I can't slide tiles up to release and replace it. Any ideas? Thanks.

Awesome videos, they are so helpful! Any idea where I can get 4x Ludlow Plus slates?

Was wondering if they're all nailed in how do you get the last nail back in? I suppose if they're nailed into the little wood risers any leaks would run down gaps in that over the paper if I left left one nail out but wouldn't feel comfortable leaving that hole.

Due to storm damage, I need to replace a tile that is directly below a velux window. Obviously I cannot push any tiles back as described in the video. Any suggestions?

You said not to use a ladder, i have to replace a tile in the 1st row just above the gutter. Now i do have a safety harness and rope i can do it from the roof but would my weight stop me sliding the tiles up and if its nailed would a ladder position be better? Thanks for the video

We've got Cedar shakes on our house in the U.S. (probably 5% of houses use this) -and we've got a steep roof (better for snow loads.) When it comes to roofing, no thanks. I'll call an expert, or fly the Ultimate Handyman over to do it. ;)

Good video. Those look exactly the same as the roof tiles I have been messing with..the annoying thing the roof tiles DO NOT have any make written on the back... dark red and similar to them or exact...?

Hi, Do you have any tips for walking/crawling on all fours on the tiles. I want to remove my chimney and was quoted £450 but think ill do it myself for £30 in materials. Its a shallowish roof about 30-35 degrees on a bungalow with redland 50 double roman concrete tiles. My biggest concern is cracking a tile while moving across the roof. Cheers

Storm Eunice loosen some tiles. Roofer came and fixed it in less than 5 mins. Cost over £100. Then he said my tilea arent nailed down. Its a new build!!
