Fix a leaking roof before more water gets in

A small leak can soak the timbers and insulation. These are the problems we see most.

  • Slipped or broken slates

    Wind loosens slates and the nails rust. We replace them with matching slate.

  • A leaking chimney

    Cracked mortar or worn lead flashing, the weatherproof strip around the chimney, lets rain in.

  • Storm damage

    High winds lift ridge tiles and strip slates. We make the roof watertight again.

What our roof repairs include

We repair the cause of the leak, not just the stain on your ceiling.

Repair or replace your roof?

Most roofs do not need replacing. Here is how we help you decide.

Repair is enough

A few slipped slates, a worn flashing or a cracked ridge can be fixed without touching the rest of the roof.

Repair, then monitor

An older roof with some wear can often be repaired now and checked again later. We tell you what we see.

Replace the roof

If slates are failing across the roof or the boards below are rotten, a new roof saves repeat repair bills.

What decides the price of a roof repair

Every repair is different, so we quote the actual job. You get the price in writing before work starts.

  • How many slates or tiles need replacing
  • How hard the damaged area is to reach
  • Whether scaffold or a tower is needed
  • What we find under the covering, such as rot

How do I know where my roof is leaking?

The stain on the ceiling is often not under the hole. Water can run along timbers before it drips. We trace it from the roof, so you pay to fix the cause.

Can you repair a roof after storm damage?

Yes. We replace blown slates and tiles, re-bed ridges and fix flashings. Take photos from the ground for your records and send us a copy.

How long does a roof repair take?

Small repairs are often done in a day, but it depends on access and weather. Larger repairs take longer. We give you a realistic idea when we quote.

What if you find rotten timber?

We show you and explain the options before going further. Rotten sarking boards or rafters are replaced so the new slates have something sound to fix to.

Do you need scaffolding for a small repair?

Not always. A few slates on a low roof may need only a ladder or tower. Higher or steeper roofs need scaffold. Your quote says which.

Can I send a photo from the ground?

Yes, please do. Stand safely on the ground, zoom in on the area and send it with your postcode. Never climb up to take one.
