Hi all

How is it possible to replace individual interlocking tiles, without
stripping the whole roof?
The tiles are cast (concrete derivative?) and have a single securing nail to
the top edge.
One side of the tile locks under and the other side locks over the adjacent
tiles.
I can't see how these can be removed individually, but equally, can't
believe that tiles are made such that you have to strip the entire roof to
replace one!

TIA

I think you lever up the 'course' above, use one of thse fork things to
pull the nail out, and slide the tile down off its adjacent
friends.....if the tile has a lip that hangs over the battens the
replacment seldom gets nailed at all.

However its not hard to lift and replace a whole section to do it 'properly'
