Spotted this morning, typical is chucking it down tonight.

They can become loose for a number of reasons, i.e. expansion and contraction with the different weather. But the main reason is that they weren't fixed properly in the first place.
That shouldn't leak, but get it put back before it falls on your head/your car/your dog.

You could reach that with your gadget arms through the velux.

Looks like the nib (tab /hook on the back) is missing(or damaged when the velux was fitted  ) ,or lathe has rotted ,nail cancer
fix via the velux 
underfelt /membrane tyvek should keep the rain out short term BTW

as uncle STEMO says
plus
reach out the velux ,recover the tile NOW before it lands

Thanks. Worried about leaking and snow/sleet currently falling.

If you can reach it enough to manipulate it, put some clear silicon sealant on the underside and plonk it back till you get it repaired. Or leave it stuck with it forever

That's either gonna end up in the gutter, or jump over and smash a few more below.

Dave the builder.....can you fix it?

Course he can  . .

Do a Michael Jackson
hang one of the kids out by the ankles 
or make a wire coat hanger hook and snag it through a nail hole in the tile 
if you can rescue it ,you will save the ball ache of trying to find matching tiles when it lands

Dave the builder.....can you fix it?

I could 
about 100 miles out my working circle I'd have thought
and simple enough for a DIY fix

No nail or space to grab the tile, just tried to reach out, it's a narrow window. No chance.

Can feel gap, membrane is wet.

Skip is below due to building work, so handy if it drops! Have spare tiles already due to building work.

How long is good for? Should have someone looking at it Thursday.

Are they solar panels on the roof? if so complain to the company that fitted them. The house across the road was having them fitted and one of the fitters was stomping around all over the roof, it,s a wonder they have any whole tiles left.
