The Roof Repairs We Handle

Most roofs don’t fail all at once. They tend to develop small issues that get worse over time. These are the types of repairs we’re regularly called out for.
01
Slipped, cracked or broken roof tiles
High winds, frost and age can cause tiles to crack or move out of position. Even one slipped tile can let water track underneath the roof covering. We replace damaged tiles and secure the surrounding area so the problem doesn’t come back after the next bout of bad weather
02
Slate roof repairs and slate replacement

Slate roofs need a careful approach. We regularly replace broken or missing slates, refix loose ones and check the fixings underneath. Done properly, slate repairs blend in and keep the roof performing as it should.

03
Pitched roof structural repairs
If a roof starts to sag or feels uneven, there’s usually more going on beneath the surface. This can be down to long-term water ingress or movement over time. We assess the structure and carry out targeted repairs to strengthen the roof without unnecessary work.
04
Felt roof repairs
on garages, extensions and flat-to-pitched transitions where cracking or blistering has occurred.
05
Dry ridge and dry verge repairs
Loose ridge tiles are a common issue, especially after storms. We repair dry ridge systems and replace failed components to make sure ridge tiles are secure and properly weatherproofed.
06
Lead flashing repairs
Lead flashing is one of the most common causes of roof leaks. We repair split, lifted or worn leadwork around chimneys, valleys and roof junctions to stop water getting in where roofs are most vulnerable.
07
Ridge tile rebedding
On older roofs, the mortar holding ridge tiles can fail over time. Where needed, we rebedding ridge tiles properly so they’re secure and watertight again.
08
Roof light and flashing repairs
Leaks around roof lights are often caused by failed seals or flashing rather than the window itself. We repair flashing systems and reseal roof lights to resolve leaks without pushing unnecessary replacements.

Signs Your Roof May Need Repair

Some roof issues are obvious. Others are easy to miss until damage has already started inside the property. Common signs we’re called out for include
01
Missing, cracked or slipped tiles or slates
02
Damp patches or staining on ceilings
03
Drips or leaks during heavy rain

04

Mould or damp smells in the loft

05

Mortar or debris falling from the roof

06

Gaps or damage around chimneys or roof lights

If something doesn’t look right, it’s usually worth getting it checked sooner rather than later.
