concrete roof tile?

Where would you buy one concrete double roman roof tile? Sounds easy I know but the internet is full of places to buy pallet loads or sites where you can buy 150 reclaimed tiles but where do you buy one replacement for a cracked tile?

    From first google result, they are priced individually as well as quatity rated. Failing that try ebay for a small quantity or singles

    Yes that was my first port of call but when you place your individual tile in the checkout the delivery price comes to £75! so you get the impression buying one is not quite so straight forward.

    I would try and pick one up from a builders merchant/roofing supplies personally as you can go in and collect.

    Do you live near the place? They obviously sell singles so you could pop in. If not, make the payment to them and ask if it is okay for a courier to collect. This should cost no more than a fiver and all they need to do is double wrap (for protection) in rubble bags.

    I see what you mean about the delivery now. Just ring them and tell then you only want 1 tile and they may be able to sort it out for you.

    that's what I did when I needed half a dozen. they were happy to sell me any quantity

    and

    their new ones were less than half the price a salvage yard wanted for used ones
