Common signs include water stains on ceilings or walls, damp patches, mould, drips during or after rain, missing, cracked or slipped tiles or slates, daylight in the loft, sagging areas and damaged flashing. If you notice any of these, have the roof checked before the problem gets worse.

Typical causes include broken or missing tiles, worn or damaged flashing, cracked mortar or pointing, blocked gutters or valleys, failed felt underneath, and damage around chimneys, vents and rooflights. A leak often appears some distance from where the water actually gets in, so a proper inspection is important.

Yes. We inspect the roof from the outside and, where needed, from the loft, to trace the water back to its source. We’ll then explain what we’ve found and what’s needed to fix it.

Place a bucket or container under any drips, move furniture and valuables out of the way, and take photos of the damage in case you need them for an insurance claim. If water is near light fittings or electrics, switch off the power to that area and keep clear. Never climb onto the roof yourself.

Yes. We repair displaced or missing tiles and slates, damaged ridges and hips, lifted flashing, damaged fascias and gutters, and other storm-related problems.

Yes. Loose, cracked or failed ridge and hip tiles can let water in, and we can re-bed or replace them using fresh mortar or a dry-fix system.

Yes. Valleys carry a lot of water, so they’re prone to wear, blockages and leaks. We can clear, repair or replace them.

Yes. We can fix splits, blisters, failed joints and leaks on flat roofs. If the roof is near the end of its life, we’ll tell you honestly whether a repair is worthwhile or whether replacement is the better option.

It depends on the age, condition and extent of the damage. A repair is usually the right choice for isolated problems. If the roof is old, in poor condition overall or keeps needing repairs, a new roof can be better value over time. We’ll give you an honest recommendation and won’t suggest more work than you need.

It depends on the type of roof, the extent of the damage, how easy it is to reach and whether scaffolding is needed. A few replacement tiles will cost much less than a larger repair. We’ll assess the problem and give you a clear price before starting work.

Check your roof from the ground after severe weather, keep gutters and valleys clear of leaves and debris, and have the roof inspected every few years. Fixing small problems early is nearly always cheaper than waiting. Never climb onto the roof yourself, and call us if you spot an issue.
