Service
Roof repairs done in a day.
Leaks, slipped tiles, missing ridges - we find the cause and fix it properly, not just patch it.
Most roof leaks come from small, fixable things - a cracked tile, a failed flashing, a pointing joint that’s given out. We diagnose with photos you can see for yourself, quote on the spot, and fix the same day where we can.
When to call us
If any of these sound familiar, it's worth a call. A free survey will tell you what's actually needed - and whether it's a repair or something bigger.
- Water stains on ceilings or upstairs walls
- Tiles visibly missing or sitting wrong
- Moss-clogged gutter or valley overflows
- Damp smell in the loft after rain
- Pointing on the chimney or ridge has fallen out
- You can see daylight from the loft
How we approach roof repairs done in a day.
Most roof repairs are simpler than people fear. A dropped tile, a failed flashing, a blocked valley, a ridge that’s lost its bedding. We diagnose with photos - you see exactly what’s wrong, we explain what needs doing, we quote on the spot, and where we can we fix the same day.
Where a repair isn’t the right answer - the roof is too far gone, or patching would cost more than half a replacement - we’ll tell you straight. We don’t sell re-roofs to people who need a £200 fix, and we don’t patch a failing roof and pretend it’s sorted. Honest diagnosis is the whole job.
