Roof Repairs

Find the real cause, then fix only what needs fixing

Roof repairs cover the everyday faults that let water in or leave a roof looking tired: tiles and slates that have slipped or blown off, cracked ridge and hip tiles, loose verges, worn lead flashing at abutments, and valleys that have split or silted up. Flat roofs get their share too, with blisters, splits and lifted edges on felt, rubber and fibreglass coverings that can often be patched rather than stripped.

A repair is the right call when the rest of the roof is sound. If the battens are holding, the sarking felt is intact and the tiles are not crumbling, there is no sense paying for a new roof. We will tell you straight when a repair makes sense, and equally when patching would only be throwing good money after bad, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.

Most jobs start with a free drone inspection. It shows us, and you, the whole roof surface without anyone climbing up, so the stain on your bedroom ceiling can be traced to the cracked tile or open joint that is actually causing it. Where storm damage is involved, we can set out the damage and the repair for your insurer.

Free Drone Inspections

See your roof from above before you decide

Most roof problems cannot be seen from the garden. Our drone survey gives you clear pictures of the tiles, ridge, valleys, chimney and guttering, so you can see the damage we are talking about and understand why the work is needed.

It is free and there is no obligation. If the roof is sound, we will tell you so. If it needs work, the images sit alongside your written quote, and they are useful if you are making an insurance claim for storm damage.

When To Call Us

When to call us about roof repairs

These are the situations that most often bring customers to us for this work.

Water on the ceiling

A brown stain spreading across a bedroom ceiling, or drips in the loft after heavy rain, usually means water is finding a gap somewhere above.

Tiles or slates on the ground

Pieces of tile in the garden, or a gap you can see from the street, leave the felt and battens beneath open to the weather.

Loose ridge or verge

Mortar washing out of the ridge or along the gable edge lets tiles rock and lift, and the next strong wind can bring them down.

Flat roof puddles and splits

Standing water that never drains, blisters in the felt or a split along an upstand on a garage or extension roof tend to end in a leak.

How It Works

How your roof repair job runs, step by step

Step 1

Drone inspection

We fly a drone over the roof at no cost and go through the footage with you, pointing out the fault and anything else worth keeping an eye on.

Step 2

Written quote

You get a free written quote that names the repair, the materials and any access needed, with the guarantee details set out on it.

Step 3

The repair

We make the area safe, lift the surrounding tiles or covering, fix the cause rather than the symptom and match new materials to the existing roof as closely as we can.

Step 4

Check and clear up

Once the repair is done we check it over, clear away broken tiles and debris, and show you photos so you can see exactly what was put right.

Pricing

What affects your roof repair quote?

Every roof is different, so we price your job after looking at it, usually with a free drone inspection first. These are the things that make the biggest difference.

0800 470 0815

Access

A single-storey extension can be reached from a ladder, while a three-storey terraced roof may need scaffolding or a tower, which adds to the cost.

Materials to match

Common concrete tiles are easy to source. Older clay tiles, reclaimed slates or discontinued profiles take more finding and can cost more.

Extent of the damage

One slipped tile is a short visit. Rotten battens, a failed valley or water spreading under the felt turn it into a larger job.

Type of roof

Pitched tiles, natural slate and flat roof coverings each need different materials and methods, so repairs of a similar size can be priced quite differently.

FAQs

Roof repair questions answered

How do I know if my roof needs repairing?

The common signs are damp patches on ceilings or chimney breasts, daylight visible in the loft, tiles or slates in the garden, and moss or mortar collecting in the guttering. Some faults show nothing inside until they are well advanced, so if the roof has been through a bad storm or has not been looked at for years, a free drone inspection is a sensible first step.

Is it worth repairing, or should I replace the roof?

If the structure, battens and most of the tiles are in good order, a repair is nearly always the better value. Replacement starts to make sense when faults keep appearing in different places, tiles are crumbling or the underlay has perished across the roof. We show you the drone footage and give you an honest view either way, then the decision is yours.

How long does a roof repair take?

Most straightforward repairs, such as replacing a handful of tiles or rebedding a section of ridge, are finished in a single visit. Valley replacements, larger flat roof patches or work needing scaffolding take longer, and the weather has a say too. Your written quote will give you a realistic idea of how long we expect to be on site.

Can you help with an insurance claim for storm damage?

Yes. We carry out insurance work and can set out the storm damage and the repairs needed in a form your insurer can use, supported by drone images of the roof. Whether a claim is accepted is up to your insurer, but having the damage clearly recorded from the start makes that conversation a good deal easier.

How do I get a quote for a roof repair?

Ask us for a free drone inspection. We look at the whole roof, find the cause of the problem and then send you a free, no-obligation written quote for the repair. The quotation also sets out the guarantee that applies to the work, so you know exactly what you are getting before you agree to anything.
