Roof Repairs
Leaks, slipped tiles, damaged flashing, chimney issues. Diagnosed and fixed properly the first time.
Most roof problems are localised and can be fixed without full replacement. We diagnose the root cause, photograph it so you can see what we're dealing with, and fix it properly — not just patch over the symptom.
Common roof repairs we handle
- Leaks and water ingress — finding the source, not just patching the ceiling
- Slipped, cracked or missing tiles and slates — matched where possible to existing roof
- Failed flashing — chimney, abutment, valley and parapet flashing
- Ridge and hip tile repointing — re-bedding or dry-fix upgrade
- Valley gutter repairs — common source of leaks in Victorian terraces
- Chimney stack repairs — repointing, flaunching, pot replacement, flashing
- Gutter and downpipe repairs — leaks, blockages, sagging
- Fascia and soffit repairs — replacing rotten sections
- Flat roof patches — small repairs to EPDM, felt or GRP
How we diagnose
When we visit, we don't just look at where you say water is coming in. We trace it back to the source — which often isn't directly above the visible damage. Water can travel along rafters, under felt, and along wall cavities before appearing inside.
Our approach:
- Visual inspection of the affected area and the surrounding roof
- Check common failure points — flashings, valleys, ridge, chimney abutments
- Loft inspection for water staining, daylight ingress, or damaged felt
- Photographic record of all findings
- Written diagnosis with recommended repair
Repair vs replace decision
Not every problem needs a full re-roof. We'll only recommend replacement if repairs won't be cost-effective long-term. Typical guidance:
- Single leak, recent roof, localised damage → repair
- Multiple leaks, roof over 20 years old → consider replacement
- Storm damage on otherwise sound roof → repair and insurance claim
- Major structural concern (sagging, rot) → likely replacement
Our repair guarantees
Every repair comes with a written warranty. Most repairs are covered for 1-2 years; more substantial repairs (leadwork replacement, valley rebuilds) carry longer warranties.
Call us for an honest assessment. If a repair isn't the right call, we'll tell you.

Are you insured?
Yes — we hold £2 million public liability insurance. Documentation is available on request before any work begins.
Do you handle insurance claims?
Yes — for storm damage and similar insurance work we handle the entire claims process including documentation, loss adjuster liaison and direct insurer billing where applicable.
How quickly can you attend a non-emergency repair?
Usually within 2-5 working days for non-emergency leaks. For active water ingress, we prioritise same-day or next-day.

Can you match my existing tiles?
In most cases yes — we source from a wide range of UK merchants. Some discontinued tiles are harder to match but we always get as close as possible.
Will my insurance cover the repair?
