Default Roof tiles



As you can see several of my porch tiles are cracked and sliding off the roof.
is it a matter of just pull the old out and slide in new or are they stuck down?

The tiles you show are "L" shaped looked at in profile. They hook over battens.

flashing should really have a lip folding down over first row of tiles to stop wind driving water up. See and lift a few at the front edge, some might be nailed or not
