Tiled shed roof

[Bodjit]

Shed with tile roof that needs replacing, could use some advice. So it's pretty sturdy, made by the former owner who was a builder, the tiles need replacing

and I'm up for doing it but not done any roof tiles before so could use some tips and I'm also wondering whether it would be better to go for something more lightweight, not as quaint and all that, but I imagine as the wood ages the heavy roof might not be a great idea.

What makes you think it need replacing?

Might not be clear from pics, but the tiles have eroded quite a lot, in places completely to revel the underlay. The gutter was pretty much full of quite large tile fragments

All the tiles are delaminating if you look close.

So is this look up roofingsuperstore.co.uk then look at Katepal hexagonal bitumen roofing shingles. Look good on my summerhouse. The fitters kindly left me a load spare .
