Emergency Roof Repairs

We repair leaking and damaged pitched roofs, from a few slipped tiles to storm damage around ridges, valleys and chimneys. For water coming in, phone at any time; planned repairs can be arranged by phone, WhatsApp or email.

• Slipped, cracked and missing concrete, clay and interlocking tiles
• Slate repairs and replacement slates
• Ridge, hip and dry ridge repairs
• Lead flashing, soakers and valleys
• Leaks traced to their source

Finding the Cause

• Water often travels along felt, battens or timbers before it shows, so a stain on the ceiling is not always below the fault.
• We check the covering first, then junctions: chimney flashing, soakers against walls, valleys and the ridge.
• Where the underlay has torn or sagged near the eaves, water can run into the gutter line or behind the fascia.

How the Work Is Done

• Slipped or broken tiles are lifted, and replacements are fixed and nailed or clipped to the battens where the roof allows.
• Slates are replaced individually and secured with suitable fixings.
• Loose ridge and hip tiles are rebedded in mortar or refixed with a dry ridge system.
• Split or lifted leadwork is dressed back, repaired or renewed.
• Damaged sections of felt or membrane, and rotten battens beneath, are replaced locally where the surrounding roof is sound.

Repair or Replace?

A repair makes sense when damage is local and the rest of the covering, battens and underlay are sound. If tiles are failing across the roof, the underlay has deteriorated widely, or repairs keep recurring in different places, we will explain why a replacement may be better value; the choice is yours.
