Anyone able to identify my roof tile type from these photos?

Hi all

I'm putting in a couple of bathroom extractor fans and am venting through the roof, so I need to find out what type of vent tile to get. Is it possible to tell from these photos what type of tile I have (material, make, colour) and what vent tile would work?

Many thanks.

Jesus that needs a good clean!

Can't tell the size but they look like what I'd call bog standard concrete tiles, something like this (colour/size vary obviously) https://www.bmigroup.com/uk/p/mini-stonewold-tile-charcoal-grey-coated-1280299628/

As for a vent you'd need to get the size, might help ? This sort of things looks close - https://www.aboutroofing.com/redland-mini-stonewold-marley-modern-roof-tile-vent-grey-brown.html

I’d seriously consider getting a roofer in to do it. Sod getting any leaks, could be a nightmare!!

As above when was the last time you cleaned those tiles!

LOL. The last time I cleaned these tiles was...never! We moved in here two years ago and have never really even thought about it yet, there's so much to do. Will probably get a roofer in; there are a few maintenance issues in various places.

Thanks for the above. I'll measure them tomorrow but they look promising.
