FAQs – Roof Repairs

We undertake a wide range of roof repairs covering both pitched and flat roofing systems. This includes replacing broken or slipped tiles and slates, repairing damaged flashing and leadwork, resolving leaks, and carrying out flat roofing repair on felt, EPDM, or fibreglass systems. We also address issues such as roof valley deterioration, ridge tile movement, and water ingress around chimneys. Each repair is assessed individually to ensure the correct solution is applied rather than a short-term fix.

Emergency roof repairs are prioritised to prevent further internal and structural damage. We aim to attend as quickly as possible, assess the severity of the issue, and carry out temporary measures if required to make the roof safe and watertight. This may include securing loose materials, installing protective coverings, or sealing active leaks. Once the immediate risk is controlled, we schedule any necessary follow-up work to complete a permanent repair.

In many cases, roof repairs are sufficient and far more economical than a full roof replacement. Localised damage, storm impact, or isolated leaks can often be resolved without disturbing the entire roofing system. Replacement is typically recommended only when deterioration is widespread, structural timbers are compromised, or repeated repairs are no longer cost-effective. A thorough inspection allows our roofing contractors to advise honestly on the most sensible long-term option.

The lifespan of a roof repair depends on the age of the existing roof, the materials involved, and the extent of the damage. When carried out correctly using suitable materials, pitched roof repair work and flat roof repairs can significantly extend the life of the roofing system. Our approach focuses on durable solutions rather than temporary patchwork, helping to maintain the overall integrity of your roof for years to come.
