Hi there you could just do some slate repairs but I would watch if there is foam under all slate u could be looking at a knew roof because your roof will no be able to breathe and that will cause condensation then create mould

Arkadiusz · Answer

If few slates skipped on the roof with foam underneath, you should take action to repair them. Reattaching the slates to their previous position is possible but requires professional intervention. However, without a thorough diagnosis, it is speculative. Make sure you have the appropriate tools and safety precautions, such as proper footwear and fall protection, before attempting the repair. If you're unsure how to proceed, we recommend consulting a professional roofer who will be able to provide advice and carry out the repair in a safe manner.
