we have some broken tiles which we cannot find replacements for.I am thinking of moulding some myself from cement.I only need 4.any sujjestions as to the mix and possible sealing.I see that skrewfix and other firms sellplastic sections for covering walls to prevent water seeping into the cavity.can these be used on an old roof as I plan to remove the bottom 3 rows to replace the felt.

Yes the trays can be used on virtually any roof, you may need to cut the width down as the first tile lath may be quite low down (Unless you take it off)

Have you tried a few reclamation tile yards? I'm sure you would be able to get a close match. Its still going to look better than a DIY cement job.
