Roof repairs
Roof repairs that stay fixed.
Most leaks come down to one small failure: a slipped tile, a cracked ridge, a gap in the flashing. We find the real cause, show you a photo of it, and fix that, not the symptom.
A stain on the ceiling rarely sits directly under the problem. Water runs along felt, battens and rafters before it drips, so a quick patch in the wrong place just moves the leak. We trace it back from inside the loft and from the roof itself, then fix the actual failure.
Before we start, you get photos of what we found and a written price. If the roof is near the end of its life we will tell you honestly, and if a small repair will give it another ten years we will tell you that too.
What's included
- Inspection of the roof and loft to trace the leak to its source
- Photos of the problem before any work starts
- Replacement of slipped, cracked or missing tiles and slates, matched as closely as possible
- Re-bedding or dry-fixing ridge and hip tiles
- Underlay patching where the felt has torn or perished
- Clear-up of the site and gutters when we finish
- A written guarantee on the repair
Signs you need it
- Damp patches or brown rings on a bedroom ceiling
- Tiles or slates lying in the garden or the gutter
- Daylight showing through the roof inside the loft
- Ridge tiles that look loose, uneven or have lost their mortar
- Moss so thick it lifts the edges of the tiles
