Expert Repair — Not Guesswork

The difference between a repair that lasts and one that fails within months comes down to diagnosis. Most repair failures we encounter were caused by treating the symptom rather than the root cause.

Our Diagnostic Approach

Diagnostic Framework

1. IdentifyWhat's the symptom? Leak, damp, blown felt, cracked tile, condensation, ponding?
2. InvestigateWhat's the existing system? Age? Previous repairs? Substrate condition?
3. DiagnoseRank likely causes and confirm with inspection, moisture readings, cut tests
4. RecommendRepair vs overlay vs full replacement — with clear reasoning

When Repair Isn't Enough

Sometimes, repair is the wrong answer. If the roof covering has reached end of life, or if defects are widespread, a full pitched re-roof or flat roof replacement will deliver better long-term value. Read our guide on how much a new roof costs to compare options.

We'll always be honest. If a repair is just going to delay an inevitable re-roof, we'll tell you. We'd rather you spend your money once on a proper solution than three times on patches that don't last.

Roof Repairs FAQs

Common questions about our roof repair services.

Roof repair costs vary widely depending on the issue. Minor repairs like replacing a few slipped tiles can start from £150–£300. More complex work like replacing failed flashings or repairing storm damage typically ranges from £300–£1,000+. We provide honest assessments and fixed-price quotes.

Common signs include damp patches on ceilings, missing or slipped tiles visible from the ground, daylight visible in the loft, blocked or overflowing gutters, and crumbling mortar on ridges or verges. If you're unsure, we offer free inspections.

Yes. For storm damage, active leaks, and other urgent situations, we aim to provide temporary weatherproofing within 24–48 hours, with a permanent repair scheduled as soon as conditions allow.

If more than 30% of the roof covering is damaged, or if the underlying timbers are compromised, a full re-roof is usually more cost-effective than repeated patching. We'll always be honest about which option gives better long-term value.
