Also homeowners who want a proactive roof health check before selling, remortgaging or going into winter. ### When you need it The moment you spot water in the loft, a stain on a ceiling, or a tile in the garden. Roof issues compound fast — a small tile replacement today can become a far larger timber repair if left a winter. ### Why it matters Most 'mystery leaks' aren't a mystery — they're a flashing detail done badly five years ago. We diagnose properly: smoke-test, hose-test, lift-and-look. We don't seal a leak with mastic and call it fixed. What happens if you wait ## The real cost of leaving it. A small leak is a fast-compounding problem. Water tracks along rafters, soaks insulation, ruins ceilings and rots timber long before you see a stain — and one stain usually means months of unseen damage. ### Risks of leaving it - Saturated rafters lose structural integrity — replacement is 10x the cost of the original tile fix. - Wet insulation grows mould that vents into bedrooms below. - A single missing ridge tile in a storm can take a dozen more with it. - Failed lead at the chimney lets water run down inside the cavity, ruining plaster on every floor. - An unresolved leak voids storm-damage cover with most insurers. ### Common mistakes we see - Spraying mastic or 'flashband' over the symptom without finding the source. - Hiring whoever knocks the door after a storm — door-knockers are rarely insured roofers. - Ignoring a slipped tile because 'the ceiling's still dry' — water finds another way every time. - Accepting a verbal quote for a roof you can't see from the ground. Our process ## How we deliver — step by step. - 1 ### Triage Call Tell us what's happening — we'll tell you immediately whether it's emergency, urgent, or a planned-week fix. No salesperson, just a roofer. - 2 ### On-Site Inspection Ladder up, on the roof, into the loft. We find the actual source — not the nearest convenient one — and photograph it for you. - 3 ### Written Quote Even on small repairs, you get a price in writing before we start. No 'we'll sort it out at the end'. - 4 ### Repair Carried Out Matching tiles, slates, lead and mortar — sourced to match what's already there, not whatever's in the depot. - 5 ### Test & Document Where appropriate we hose-test the repair, photograph it complete, and email you the before-and-after. What you get ## The benefits — in plain English. ### Stops compounding damage Catching a leak early routinely saves four-figure sums on rafter, plasterboard and decoration repairs. ### Often same-day emergency response, where possible We carry tarps, tiles, lead and ladders. If we can get you watertight today, we will. ### Honest diagnosis Sometimes the answer is a small fix. Sometimes it's a full replacement. We'll always tell you straight. ### Materials matched to the roof Reclaimed slate, matching ridge tiles, correct lead code — repairs that look like they were always there. ### Insurance-ready paperwork Photos, written scope, itemised invoice — exactly what insurers need to process a storm-damage claim. ### We stand behind our work If the same defect returns shortly after a repair, we'll come back and take another look. The detail that matters ## Roof Repairs: materials, methods & specifications. Most repairs fall into a handful of categories, and most are misdiagnosed by whoever quoted before us. Here's what we actually see: ### Slipped or broken tiles & slates Usually nail-sickness (galvanised nails failing after 40+ years) or storm damage. Often spotted as a single tile down — but if one's gone, others are loose. ### Ridge & hip re-bedding Old mortar ridges crack and lift. Modern fix is dry-fix ridge systems — mechanically clipped, ventilated, no mortar needed. A long-term fix on most roofs. ### Lead flashings The most common real source of 'mystery' leaks. Lead at chimneys, abutments and valleys cracks with thermal movement. Re-dressing in Code 4/5 lead, properly stepped and soakered, fixes it properly for the long term. ### Chimney repairs Repointing brickwork, re-flaunching pots, replacing cracked pots and cowls, lead apron and step-flashings. Chimneys cause more interior damp than any other single feature. ### Valleys Lead, GRP or open-lead valleys. We strip, line and re-form valleys with the correct fall and lap detailing. ### Gutters, fascias & soffits Often the actual cause of 'roof leaks'. We replace UPVC fascia/soffit/gutter runs and re-align cast iron where appropriate. ### Storm damage We're set up for fast emergency response — tarp-over to make safe, full repair quoted in writing, photographs for your insurer.

We're not trying to sell you a full replacement; if a repair is the right answer we'll quote a repair. ### Do you handle insurance claims? +Routinely. We document the damage, scope the repair to insurer-standard, and liaise direct with loss adjusters where helpful. ### What if you find more damage once you're up there? +We photograph it, price it transparently, and agree it with you before we touch it. The original quote stands unless you authorise extra work. ### Can you do emergency tarp-overs out of hours? +Yes — call us. Out-of-hours emergency response is available across our service area when we have a crew free. ### Do you stand behind small repairs? +Yes — if the same defect comes back shortly after we've been out, we'll return and take another look. ### How long does a typical repair take? +Most domestic repairs are completed in a single visit of 1-4 hours.
