For concrete roof, you probably have to repair it as changing it is a tremendous job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The tiles could be cracked or broken. If this is the case, then it is possible that the entire roof needs changing on the assumption that all the tiles are of the same age. Roof tiles are generally quite hardy unless they are old, say over thirty years. Another reason for broken tiles could be TV antenna man damaged a part of the roof. Cheap way is to apply a lump of cement over the damaged area, or change the affected tiles. Other reasons could be choked gutters that force the rain water to flow backward, then clear the gutters. It could also be that the flashings and cappings, metal plates that overlap the end part of the roof, could be rusted allowing rain to seep through. Sometimes the roof is perfectly fine, but just that the heavy rain happens to blow towards a certain direction that instead of the rail flowing downwards, it goes upwards and seep through the joints between tiles. If this happens, no contractor can help. But here again, you did not mention what type of roof your landed house is having, so it is only an assumption that it has French clay roof.http://70wood.blogspot.com Edited June 5, 2011 by 70wood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
