Tile below Ridge is cracked

[claudeballs]

The tile that sits directly underneath the end ridge tile on my roof has cracked/split in two.
Is there any way I can repair this without removing the ridge-tile (chiselling out mortar etc.) i.e is there some way of cementing the tile back together ? Or, will I have to get the ridge tile removed, new tile put in and the ridge tile mortared-in over it again?

Option 3 I'm afraid

Agreed with roofer although some people do repair them with bitumen mastic, not nice to look at though!

Masona,

Where could I get this bitumen mastic ? Any particular brand names to go on ?

Most diy superstore should have them.

They are all pretty good, another one here are good, the GPS1 Roof Sealant, most likely to get this one or similar at any roof merchants

Thanks, Masona. I'll get that.
