Why Terracotta Needs Specialist Care
Terracotta tiles are made from fired clay. Their colour runs right through the tile, so they do not fade like concrete. They can last for generations.
But terracotta is also brittle. It cracks under the wrong footstep, and older tiles can become fragile. Terracotta roof tile repair needs a roofer who knows where to walk and how to handle each tile.
Common Terracotta Roof Problems
We regularly repair:
- Cracked tiles: From foot traffic, branches, or hail.
- Flaking or spalling tiles: Where the face of the tile breaks away.
- Slipped tiles: Out of line, letting water in.
- Loose ridge caps: On crumbling old mortar.
- Rusted valleys: On older roofs.
Matching Terracotta Tiles
Terracotta comes in many profiles and shades, and older styles are often no longer made. We match replacement tiles by profile first, then colour.
- Salvaged tiles: Used where new matches are not available.
- Swapping from hidden slopes: To keep the street side consistent.
- Colour blending: Choosing tiles that weather to a similar shade.
Glazed and Unglazed Terracotta
Unglazed terracotta has a natural, matte finish and can be painted if you want a new colour. Glazed terracotta has a shiny, sealed surface that sheds water easily and is usually left uncoated.
We repair both, and match the finish when replacing tiles.
Terracotta Ridge Repairs
Terracotta ridge caps are often bedded in older mortar that crumbles with age. We lift loose caps, rebed them, and repoint with a terracotta-coloured flexible compound so the ridge looks right and stays sealed.
See roof rebedding and repointing.
Terracotta Roof Tile Repair Cost
The cost depends on the number of tiles, how easy they are to match, ridge work, and roof access. We provide a fixed written quote after a free inspection.
