Can I buy and replace a cracked roof tile?

[Gary111]

I'm not sure where I can buy roof slates?
If I get them would I need to cut to size?
Is it better to just get a roofer to do it?
It's only a ground floor annex, these things fall off from time to time so it may be a good skill to learn.

Thanks for any help you can give me

Looks like a 20x10 . (500 x 250) most roofing merchants will have some but usually Spanish. This is a Welsh slate , Penryn probably best bet reclamation yard.

Thanks for that, how much is that likely to cost roughly please?

How much would a roofer would charge to supply and fit?

Manchester area

DIYer. Replaced a few on the Front Door Canopy.
A fairly common sense job.

I bought some reclaimed ones from here in Ashton. Think they were £1.50 each a few Years ago
Take one with you for size/colour

Lots of Guides on Youtube for replacing individual Slates

Have a look at Slate Hooks

I got a Slate Ripper from Tool Station.
