Roof repairs in Guildford & Surrey
Leaks, storm damage and slipped tiles fixed fast, often the same day.
What's involved
Roof repairs cover a lot of ground: replacing tiles that have slipped or cracked, patching storm damage, resealing flashing around chimneys and soil pipes, and fixing leaks at valleys, hips and ridges. Water rarely comes into the loft directly below where it entered the roof; it tends to travel along a rafter or run down the underlay before dripping somewhere else entirely. So the first job is always working out where it's actually getting in, then fixing that properly rather than just patching the patch of ceiling you can see from inside.
Signs you need one
A damp patch on a ceiling after heavy rain, tiles you can see are missing or out of place from the ground, moss building up thickly around joints and valleys, daylight showing through the loft timbers, or a ridge tile that's worked loose and rattles in the wind. A musty smell in an upstairs room, or a stain that reappears every time it rains, are also worth acting on. None of these fix themselves. Most get worse, and more expensive to put right, with the next spell of bad weather.
What to expect from us
We get up on the roof rather than guessing from the pavement, so what we tell you is based on what's actually wrong, not what's easiest to see from below. You'll get a clear, free quote before any work starts, with no pressure to book on the spot. Take it away and think it over if you want to. If it's urgent, tell us when you call and we'll do what we can to get to you the same day, not next week.
How long it takes
A straightforward repair, such as a handful of tiles, a section of flashing, or one loose ridge tile, is usually sorted in a few hours, often in a single visit with no need to come back. Wider storm damage covering more of the roof, or a repair that needs scaffolding to reach safely, can take a day or two depending on access and the weather on the day. Either way, we'll give you a realistic timeframe before we start, not an optimistic one.
Common questions about roof repairs
Can you fix a leak without doing a full re-roof?
In most cases, yes. The large majority of leaks are a localised problem, such as a cracked tile, failed flashing, or a gap at a joint, that can be repaired without touching the rest of the roof.
Do you offer emergency repairs?
Same-day callouts are available for urgent problems like active leaks or storm damage. Call and we'll tell you straight away whether we can get to you today.
Will the repair match my existing roof?
We match tiles, slates and mortar colour as closely as we can so a repair doesn't stand out against the rest of the roof.
Can I use your quote for an insurance claim?
Yes, every quote is written and clear, so you can pass it straight to your insurer if you're claiming for storm or accidental damage.
