Repair or replace?

A well-targeted repair is often all a sound roof needs — and far cheaper than a full replacement. But if the same roof keeps leaking in different places, has widespread slipped tiles or is simply worn out, we'll tell you honestly when a re-roof would be the better value.

How It Works

1

Free survey

We inspect the roof, find the real cause of the problem and explain what needs doing. As a result, you know exactly what you're paying for before we start.

2

Written quote

A clear, written quote, including any access or scaffolding needed. As a result, there are no surprise extras once work begins.

3

Repair

Time-served roofers carry out the repair safely, cleanly and to a lasting standard. Because the job is done properly first time, it shouldn't need revisiting.

4

Check & tidy

We check the work is watertight and leave your property clean and clear. As a result, there's nothing left for you to tidy up afterwards.

Roof Repair FAQs

Why is my roof leaking when it rains? +
The most common causes are slipped, cracked or missing tiles, failed or corroded lead flashing around chimneys and valleys, worn mortar on the ridge, blocked or overflowing gutters, and — on flat roofs — splits or failed seams. We trace the leak at survey and fix the actual cause rather than just patching the symptom.
Do I need scaffolding for roof repairs? +
It depends on the location and scale of the work. Small, accessible repairs can often be done safely from ladders or a tower, while higher or larger jobs need proper scaffolding for safe access. We're work-at-height trained and will include any access needed in your written quote — no hidden extras.
Can a roof be repaired in winter or bad weather? +
Yes. Many repairs can be carried out in cold or wet conditions, and we'll always make a leaking roof safe and watertight as a priority. Some work — such as certain flat-roof and rendering finishes — needs dry conditions to cure properly, and we'll advise if a job needs to wait for a weather window.
Do you do emergency roof repairs? +
Yes — if your roof has failed or storm damage has let water in, get in touch and we'll prioritise making it safe and watertight before arranging any permanent repair.

Most roof repairs start the same way: a leak appears indoors. But the actual entry point is often a metre or more away. Water tracks along rafters and battens before it drips. Because of that, we always trace a leak from the loft as well as the roof, not just the spot under the stain.

Not every repair is urgent, either. A slipped tile on a sound roof can usually wait for a scheduled visit. Active water ingress or a dislodged chimney stack need making safe straight away. We'll tell you honestly which category your repair falls into at the survey, so you're not paying emergency rates for work that could wait.
