Glaze damage on a glazed roof tile.

[Britt-Marie Johansson]

A piece of the glaze has come off one of my glazed roof tiles. Do I need to do something and if so, what?

If you have an extra roofing tile, climb up on the roof and replace it.

Yes, I have extra tiles but I find it a bit troublesome to crawl around on the roof. But it shouldn't be too difficult to replace since it's up by the ridge tile 🤔

 

[AG A]

The risk is high that the tile absorbs moisture. When it then freezes, it cracks. Or more chips come off. So in the near future, you will have to replace it anyway. Unfortunately, it can be tricky to replace tiles near the ridge. The ridge tiles are nailed/screwed, so it's often complicated.

It's not a catastrophe if the tile breaks/cracks, as there is a tight underlayment. But it's just as well to take the opportunity now that it's summer.

Okay, I thought it would be easier up at the ridge 😩 are ridge tiles always nailed or screwed hm..
