    Hi all, one roof tile fell down in the recent winds. Is this serious and should it get fixed immediately? If so, any recommendations for a roofer?

    You wouldn't want to leave it too long. The felt beneath it should keep the rainwater out in the short term but further wind may get under the roof and possibly lift off more tiles.
    If you have a spare tile somewhere its not a difficult fix, getting safe access is the worst part.

    Always look after the roof Gutters & Fascia & sofffit of your home, this is where unseen damage can happen & can create bigger problems in time to come!

    yep 2 story house. the piece of tile material nearly hit my wife. I had a man up to look at the roof but he couldnt see any missing tiles. And I cant see any on the adjacent rooves.

    The piece of tile type material was big but not as big as a whole tile I dont think.

    Perhaps someone who doesnt like us threw it at my wife from somewhere.lol.
