Obviously it depends on the size of the roof but once you factor in scaffolding, repairs and materials the difference gets negligible.
Those old roofs are hyper inefficient too so if your bills / the environment bothers you then it should be changed IMO.

If it's the original roof, I'm guessing there's not been any loft conversion - do the roof when that gets built instead.

I'm not sure about that. Cost of fixing ours is much less than repairing / replacing the flat roof behind it (£600 vs £8k). Obvs. the scaffolding cost is spread out across three different jobs (pitched repair, flat roof replacement, chimney stack repairs) and the scope of the repair job to ours is fairly limited.

Then you just end up with shitty looking concrete tiles...or you stump up for the correct clay tiles and have a humongous bill. You'll have a neat roof though, I guess, which would then be totally at odds with the ramshackle nature of the rest of the frontage, and then you can't stop and....
If it is just a few cracked / dislodged tiles and there is no evidence of leaking or rot, then you can replace the tiles with reclaims and pray to the roof gods for mercy :)
