Slipped or cracked tiles
A single slipped tile can let driven rain reach felt, battens and timber below. The sensible fix is to check why it moved, replace the damaged tile properly and inspect the surrounding course.
Roofing repairs and roof work
Roofing that lasts, explained in plain English.
Honest roof repairs without the scare stories. We look for the cause, explain what actually needs doing and keep the finish tidy from the roof edge down.
Start with the problem
Common issues we solve.
These are the roof problems homeowners usually notice first. The important part is not just spotting the symptom, but understanding the sensible repair behind it.
Damp patches inside
Water rarely appears directly below the fault. A ceiling stain can come from flashing, valleys, ridge details, flat-roof edges or a failed gutter line, so we trace the route first.
Perished mortar and ridge work
Crumbling mortar around ridges, verges and chimneys can leave the roof edge unstable. We check what is sound, what needs repointing and where a dry system makes sense.

We find the cause first
A roof repair should start with diagnosis. We check nearby tiles, felt, battens, gutters, flashing and roofline so the quoted work is tied to the real route water is taking.
No hiding rotten edges
If the roof edge or fascia is soft, capping over it only traps the problem. We look at the rafter edge, timber, boards and gutter line so any replacement has something sound behind it.
Mortar, flashing and ridges checked
Ridges, verges, chimneys and leadwork are common weak points. We explain whether a local repair is enough or whether a dry system would be a better long-term route.
A clean finish, then plain advice
The final job should look tidy from the ground and make sense when explained. We can show what was repaired, what was left alone and what to keep an eye on later.
Proof of finish
Roofing details, finished properly.
A small gallery for the kinds of roofing and roof-edge details that matter: tiles, flat roofs, chimneys, ridges, verges and gutter lines.
How we work
A straight route from leak to repair.
Inspect the issue
We look at the roof from outside, ask what you have noticed inside and check nearby details before pricing the work.
Explain the sensible fix
You get a plain-English view of what needs doing now, what can wait and what would be overkill.
Carry out the work neatly
Repairs are completed with the surrounding roof edge, gutter or flashing detail in mind.
Leave clear advice
You know what was repaired, why it mattered and what to watch for after heavy rain.
Plain answers
Roofing questions, answered plainly.
Do you take on small roof repairs?
Yes. A couple of slipped tiles, a leak check or a small ridge repair is just as welcome as a larger roofing job.
Can you find the source of a leak?
We can investigate the likely route and explain what we find. Roof leaks can travel, so we check tiles, flashing, gutters, valleys, ridges and nearby details.
Do I need a full new roof?
Often, no. If a targeted repair is sensible, we will say so. If the roof is failing more widely, we will explain why and what the realistic options are.
