The upper lateral edge and the first longitudinal edge portion has an upstanding ledge portion. The second longitudinal edge portion has a raised portion with a downwardly extending flange. The raised portion is adapted to overlap the upstanding ledge of the first longitudinal edge portion of an adjacent tile. The bottom lateral edge portion has a downwardly extending flange adapted to overlap the upstanding ledge at the upper lateral edge portion of a further adjacent tile. A lower portion of the first longitudinal edge portion is provided with fastener access means whereby a fastener can be passed therethrough to anchor the tile to the roof.
