    Our house has a tile hung dormer which faces west, into the prevailing wind.
    When winds are high, the vertical tiles all rattle - they are all nailed but obvioulsy a little looser than when priginally fixed.
    As these rattling tiles allegedly keep she who must be obeyed awake, would it be an acceptable practice to bond them together with, for example, a blob of Gripfill, No-Nails or similar?

    Lift each tile slightly and put a blob of silicone under

    If only I could get close enough - she'd probably bite the end of the nozzle off!!

    I would also use silicone and not Gripfill. If a tile ever does break it will be much easier to cut away the silicone blob than to try and cut through hardened Gripfill.
