As fireman4 says, but you could try putting mask tape over where you intend to screw, stops the tiles from cracking.

If you are unsure about drilling the tiles i would recomend that you glue them using builder`s glue such as gripfil or sticks like s**t i have done this heaps times and all the pipes are still in place in a minute even after many years of use

You may use a good standard 1/4 inch masonry drill with plastic tap within anchors and 1 inch sheet metal or stainless screws.

Whether you have concrete or clay tiles, they are both vunerable to breaking and as you are probably aware if you break one it is very difficult to replace it properly.

You don't enjoy to fix your downpipe brackets to the batten or the wall behind; just fixing it to the tiles is sufficient. Downpipes don't weigh much and the sea doesn't hang around for long!

Vertical tiles are normally at almost 100mm centres and each tile nail twice. If this has been done and the top finished near a lead apron under the eaves, consequently this should be stable enough to fix directly onto.

The trick is to use a ceramic tile drill bit to drill the holes surrounded by the tiles. They are inexpensive and available from any diy store or tile shop. Do not use the hammer action on your drill as this will most feasible break the tile. I would get a 6mm ceramic drill bit and use a red plug and a 1" size six or eight screw, try it on a spare tile first to form sure it fixes ok. You only need to drill through the first (top) tile don¡¯t try and drill through the tiles aft the overlap. Try and fix the brackets so the holes in the tiles are as far away from the edges as you can.

I wish you the best of luck, it is a bit un-nerving have to drill tiles, but have a practise first and you will see that with the right tool for the post, and (hopefully) some good advice.it's trouble-free.
