Cement or concrete roof tiles are produced using a blend of sand, cement and water which is molded and dried in tunnel or a kiln. Pigments are added to make them seem like terra-cotta roofing tiles. Roof tiles crack resistant, with a life span of 40 years or even more and are highly-durable. They are able to come free after prolonged contact with hail, strong winds or earthquakes. Repair loose or cracked cement roof tiles by sliding tiles that are new underneath the wood batten that retains the tiles and lifting up tiles.

Put on safety glasses and work gloves. Ascend a ladder on on the top to the workshop, using the resources that are required.

Pry up the tile situated over the tile that is loose together with the bend finish facing down as well as the end of a prybar. Set the conclusion of the prybar down on on the top to prop up the tile. Do the same using the tile located right to the left of the 2nd prybar as well as the free tile.

Pull any tile components that are damaged off. Tap and crack any elements of the damaged tile that can not pull out using a hammer and take them off. Tilt and raise the back-end of the free tile off and up the wood batten, also also referred to as a hanger strip, on on the top.

Remove any nails that are loose in the loosened wood batten with pliers. In the event the wood is rotten or broken replace the hanger strip. Nail the hanger strip that is free on the roofing felt with three nails that are spaced.

Slide the best ridge of the wood batten on on the top under the propped- up above and within the leading edge of the cement tile so the ridge on the cement tile rests on the very top of the wood batten. Slide the left edge of the cement tile -up cement tile to the left.

Slide out the prybar gradually from beneath the tile that is left after which slide the prybar that is 2nd out from underneath the very best tile to complete installing the cement tile.
