Roof Repairs

We assess each roof individually to recommend the right repair or replacement approach, using appropriate materials and established roofing methods. Work covers slate and tile repairs, leadwork, chimney work, guttering and flat roofing repairs. We aim for tidy, professional finishes and clear written quotations so you can decide with confidence.

How we identify roof problems

We begin with a visual inspection from ground level and, where safe and necessary, a closer on-roof check to find slipped tiles, broken slates, damaged flashings or worn mortar. We also look for signs that indicate underlying issues such as damp patches, mould or water stains inside the property.

• External inspection of tiles, slates and ridges
• Check flashings, leadwork and chimney crowns
• Examine gutters and downpipes for blockages or leaks
• Assess flat roofs for ponding, blisters or splits
• Report on any internal water damage visible to link roof faults to leaks

Common repairs we carry out

Repairs focus on restoring weatherproofing and sound structure using suitable materials for the roof type. Where a small repair is appropriate we fix only the affected area, but we will advise if larger sections or a whole-roof replacement is preferable.

• Replacing slipped or broken tiles and slates
• Repairing or renewing ridge and hip mortar or fittings
• Lead flashing repair and reworking around chimneys and valleys
• Chimney repairs including re-pointing and capping work
• Gutter and downpipe repair or resecuring to prevent overflow

Flat roofing and specialist work

We work on pitched and flat roofs, using materials suited to each situation and advising on care and expected lifespans. For flat roofs we inspect for drainage issues and membrane damage and recommend repair approaches that match the existing construction.

• Patch repairs to membranes and felt roofs
• Repairing flashings and upstands on flat roofs
• Addressing ponding by improving falls or drainage where practicable
• Using materials compatible with the existing roof build-up
• Advice on maintenance to extend roof life

What to expect from a quotation and the work

Quotations are provided after inspection and explain the recommended work, materials and scope so you can make an informed decision. We aim to keep work areas tidy and leave the site clean on completion.

• Clear written quotation following inspection
• Description of proposed repair work and materials
• Photographs and notes of problem areas where helpful
• Site tidiness and removal of small amounts of waste
• Testing and a final check of repaired areas

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my roof needs repairing or replacing?

A localised problem such as a few slipped tiles or a damaged flashing can often be repaired; widespread deterioration, recurrent leaks or a roof near the end of its serviceable life may make replacement more sensible. An inspection will clarify the extent of work needed.

Will a small repair stop leaks inside my home?

Many leaks can be resolved by repairing the source on the roof, but it’s important to confirm from inspection whether water has caused internal damage that also needs attention. We report any internal issues we discover during assessment.

Do you repair storm damage and missing tiles?

We can repair storm-related problems such as slipped or missing tiles and damaged flashings, subject to inspection. If there is immediate danger from fallen debris or unstable structures, contact emergency services first.

What information do you need to provide a quote?

We usually need to visit and inspect the roof so we can assess the condition, identify the cause of any leaks and measure the area involved. After inspection we provide a written, no‑obligation quotation describing the recommended work.

How do you protect gutters, windows and landscaping during repairs?

We use protective sheeting and scaffold or ladders positioned to minimise risk to gutters, windows and planting. We aim to keep work areas tidy and remove waste materials generated by the repair.
