Just to update, GALMI (well, two actually) with a Nifty lift. Went up in the bucket to inspect the tiles and as most of them were securely fixed, we decided just to rake out the old mortar and repoint. I'm pleased with the result although I should have added a little colouring to darken the mortar. It will soon get covered in moss !
While they were up there I got them to remove the vegetation from the gutters ...bonus time.
Total cost ? Delighted to say their cost including the Nifty was £320 + VAT which I think is a bargain. I supplied the materials.

As you can see, I also got them to repoint one set of water tables as the previous Builder-Muppet had used normal cement mortar.
If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.
