How long can you leave a missing roof tile?

Question

Spotted one tile has come off near the edge. There’s no leak yet but I’m wondering if it’s urgent or can wait a bit before getting fixed?

George · Answer

It’s better to replace asp but it won’t necessarily leak but eventually the felt underneath will rot and begin to leak.

Peter · Answer

Until you find the weather is changing also can be bad as birds can start to nest in there

Daniel · Answer

I wouldn't normally leave it that long because it causes damage in the long run causes leaks

I would recommend getting it sorted sooner rather than later as it will only get worse from now on
