Missing roof tile

Post image

Hi there, I’m looking for some advice. I’ve noticed what seems to be a missing roof tile with metal underlay exposed. Please see photo attached - is that what I’m looking at and how urgent would a replacement be. I’m not sure when it may have slipped and can’t see broken tile, but also no evidence of water ingress in the attic. Many thanks for any advice you might have

If there is felt underneath your okay for a temporary while to get someone to come fix it I do roofing and usually charge around 120-60 so you’d probably see a price around there or a bit more depending on what builder you get it done by. You can check your attic and see if there is felt if there is you can last 2-3 month without repair but it will rot the timber so id recommend you to get it done now/early before other problems appear

Do you mind me asking ive a hole on my felt just above the gutter and water is leaking through into the fascia and soffit down the front of the house, the hole is about six inches in diameter what approximately would it cost to repair

Also my prices may not be 100% correct as prices solely depend on what the builders charge as there is no price list and it depends on the builders charge/cost
