Why on earth did you let anyone onto your roof!

I hope you took a picture of them and will give it to the cops.
Whether they were scammers or not, most things that are working should not
be disturbed. Old roves particularly.
I'd get a bona fide builder in to fix it and then see if you can chase
down the nutters.

Three scammers offered to re-mortar the edges of my roof tiles for a
reasonable sum.

While they were up there they lifted a ridge tile claiming the whole lot
were now loose and for a large sum would be prepared to redo them.
I declined, paid what had been agreed an they left.

Later I found the remains of what looks like the lifted tile. We now have
a
bucket beneath a gaping whole in our roof.

I need to replace the ridge tile. The house was built in 1971. The tiles
are
a dark bluish grey in colour and very heavy. I would guess made of
concrete.

Without clambering up on the roof (I'm too old to that these days) it is
hard for me to be accurate about the size but from the fragments I would
say the sloping sides were something over 6 inches but the width of the
top
I cannot say because the fragments do not match up.

Any clues about where to go to buy a replacement would be very welcome.
My location is NW London, near Watford.
