Roof tile identity

[SeatIbiza]

Hi all,

Bought a house just before Christmas and found I have a leak in the workshop (not declared) and have found two tiles are cracked. I think they are Marley Ludlow tiles:



Any idea where I can get a handful of these, two to replace those broken and a few spares to hand...

Cheers,

James

Usually the brand is stamped on the underside.

I would get that moss cleared off the roof whilst you're at it as well (or is it just the workshop? either way won't do it a lot of good).

Agreed with the moss, we used a spray on ours which killed off the moss, it lasted a couple of years.

Yes, it's on the list of plans to get sorted but it's only the workshop/garage so it's low priority - sorting the cracked tiles is higher as I don't want my stuff getting wet!

Reclamation yards quite often have old roof tiles and will usually let you buy a few at a time.
You can also keep an eye of local marketplace as you quite often see leftovers advertised.
Another option is to contact local roofers. If they have a job on using the same tiles they will usually have leftovers
