Help me with my roof!

[Beggarall]

Without a long history of the various works on our roof, I am looking for a sort of band-aid to keep the tiles on! We have a 1930s house with original roof. It has shed occasional tiles for the last few years but now following the windy weather there are a couple that keeping falling off. I am told by the roofer that the it is a boarded roof and that the ridges the tiles hang on have broken/rotted so there is nothing to hold the tiles up when replaced other than friction. They have tried a bit of cement but that didn't work. I think we are heading for a new roof but I am trying to delay that decision as long as possible as we are considering moving or building an extension to get extra space. Does anyone know any method that would hold these tiles on a bit longer? Is there any sort of mastic that would stick them down? I have been told about some treatment to spray the entire roof with glue? I am appealing to the PH knowledge base for help and guidance. Thanks!

Thanks for the replies so far - much appreciated.

I am going to get some CT1 from Amazon - might do the job and at £12 nothing much to lose!
I don't think NoMoreNails would do - roof damp most of the time in winter.
Taking tiles off and refitting battens might turn into a very big job

And yes - I realise we are looking towards new roof - just trying to fix to give time to make life-changing decisions!
Any idea what a new roof would cost?

How big is the house, what style of roof, pics? Location?

Roof measures about 10mx14m at maximum width-length. Sort of T shaped with a gable at back - not really sure how to describe it. I have some drawings somewhere - location Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire

This is a drawing of the roof - hope I have linked it correctly!

Ghastly, please don't do it, do a proper job........where in the country are you?

Agreed - although someone suggested some sort of glue to treat the entire roof which would help retain the tiles and apparently makes the roof look very smart. We are in Rickmansworth - SW Herts - near Watford......

Anyone got any guide price as to how much it would cost to replace this roof?

Bringing to the top. Roof problems continue and looks like a new roof the best way ahead. What brought this to a head is that there are 3 short flat tops over bathroom and bedroom windows that are leaking and lead covering cracked. Fairly major job to repair I am told as it means taking off sections of tiles and reboarding etc. Also some of the battens that hang the tiles are rotten so need replacing anyway plus we are continually shedding tiles and having them replaced. I guess a problem with a 100 year old house. Have been quoted about £15K to replace - does this sound about right?
