My lower roof (extension) has Russell Argyle tiles.
Its a low pitch at 15° so tiles that will do are very limited.
During the storm tiles from the main roof came away, landed on and broke 10 on the extension.
Russell no longer make them and say stockist will not have them.
I have tried 2 reclamation firms without success.
Any idea appreciated.
NB
Its a BIIIG roof so re-tiling is a last resort.

Do you know the style of roof tyle, eg, Double Roman, Tudor, Milan, etc? You might find another manufacturer that makes a compatible item.

Google Lens AI thingy might help identify it for you.

Yes, its a Russell Argyle.
I will phone the manufacturer this morning but google indicate the 'locking profile' is unique.
I have tried AI and the Samsung version of google lense but no success.

Thank. That's it. But the seller only has 1 according to the ad'.

no he has 125. He's just advertising one on ebay and cannily there is enough info for you to go direct to the business so they avoid ebay fees.

Many thanks. My ebay account has lapsed so I was struggling.
Edit
My SiL thinks he "might" have located some but won't know how many until tonight.
Failing that I will phone/email the link you gave me. Its 55 miles away but that's OK if it solves the problem.
