Do roof tiles fail after a period of time?
I was looking up at the roof the other day and saw that there appeared to a couple of tiles missing. I then looked out the dormer window in the loft and saw that two half tiles were sitting in the rain gutter.
House is a 1928 build and to date have not experienced any roof problems.No one has been near the roof in the last 8 years so physical abuse can be ruled out.
Given the age of the roof tiles, can I expect others to fail in the near future and might I be faced with retiling the whole roof? Or should I get someone round to just replace the pair. I am fortunate in that I have a dozen left over from when the dormer was put in 8 years ago.
