Roof Repairs
Fast, honest roof repairs across Hampshire, Dorset and Surrey. 7 days a week, 7am to 8pm. Whether it’s a single slipped tile or a leak you can’t track down, we’ll find the cause, fix it properly and tell you straight whether there’s anything else to worry about.
A Roof Problem Caught Early Is Always Cheaper
Roofs don’t usually fail overnight. More often it’s a gradual thing. A loose tile letting water trickle onto the felt, a cracked flashing quietly saturating a chimney breast, a blocked valley slowly backing water up under the tiles. By the time a stain appears on a bedroom ceiling, the damage above has usually been building for months or years.
That’s why we take repair work as seriously as a full re-roof. We don’t just swap the tile that slipped. We look for the reason it slipped, because chances are it won’t be the last. We check the tiles either side, the battens beneath, the pointing on nearby chimneys, the lead flashings, and the state of the felt. If the repair you need is genuinely just one tile, we’ll tell you. If it’s a symptom of something bigger, we’ll tell you that too, and show you what we found.
Twenty-plus years of doing this work across Hampshire, Dorset and Surrey means there are very few roof problems we haven’t seen, diagnosed and fixed properly. Every repair comes with a written guarantee appropriate to the work carried out.
Our Roof Repair Services
Emergency Roofing
Active leaks, storm-dislodged tiles, sudden roof failures. We reserve capacity in our diary specifically for urgent jobs. Call us on 07304 092761 and we'll almost always get to you the same day between 7am and 8pm. We're not a 24/7 company and we won't pretend to be, but within our opening hours, genuine emergencies get priority.
Slate Roof Repair
Slipped slates, cracked slates, nail-sick slates dropping off in the wind. We match replacements to your existing slate type (natural, fibre-cement, Spanish, Brazilian, Welsh) and fix them using copper or stainless steel slate hooks where traditional nailing won't hold. We'll often salvage and re-use original slates wherever possible on period properties.
Storm Damage Repairs
High winds lift tiles, cracked ridge mortar lets water in, blown branches take down gutters. We handle the lot. We document everything photographically for your insurance claim and can liaise directly with loss adjusters if that helps. Temporary weatherproofing first where needed, then the proper permanent fix as soon as materials are sourced.
Flat Roof Repair
Splits, blisters, failed seams, bubbled felt, lifted EPDM edges, water pooling that shouldn't be there. Flat roof leaks are particularly tricky because the water rarely comes out inside directly below the fault. We trace the actual source rather than patching where the drip is. For full flat-roof replacement or covering options, see our dedicated Flat Roofs page.
Leak Detection & Tracing
The single hardest part of any roof repair is finding exactly where water is getting in. Because leaks travel. Water that shows on a bedroom ceiling might be entering six feet away, following a rafter, crossing a noggin, or running down a pipe before finally dripping through. We use methodical visual inspection, dye testing where appropriate, and over two decades of pattern-recognition to track the actual entry point. Not just the closest suspect.
Tiled Roof Repair
Slipped tiles, cracked tiles, broken tiles under foot traffic, delaminating concrete tiles, failed tile clips. We source and fit matching replacements from the major UK manufacturers, including Marley, Redland, Sandtoft, Russell and Dreadnought. Where a tile has been discontinued, we'll find the closest current equivalent or re-use salvageable tiles from less visible parts of the roof.
Chimney Repairs
Cracked flaunching at the top of the stack, spalled or missing bricks, failed pointing letting water through, leaning chimneys starting to pull away from the house, and flashings that have lifted or split where the stack meets the roof. All common sources of leaks that homeowners often blame on the roof itself. For rebuilds, pot replacements and full chimney removals, see our dedicated Chimney Repairs page.
Dry Ridge / Dry Verge Repair
On older roofs, mortared ridge and verge tiles crack with age and thermal movement, and letting go of just one can start a chain reaction. We repair failed mortared sections or, where it makes sense, upgrade the whole run to a mechanically-fixed dry system that won't need attention again. More detail on the mechanical system itself is on our Dry Ridge / Dry Verge page.
Fascia / Soffit Repairs
Rotten timber soffits, split fascias, lifted bargeboards, felt overlaps that have pulled away. All common sources of water getting into the roof structure from below. We can repair damaged sections in situ or replace the whole roofline in maintenance-free uPVC depending on what's practical. Full replacement details and colour options are on our Soffits, Fascias & Gutters page.
Gutter Repairs & Replacement
Leaking joints, sagging runs, blocked downpipes, rotten timber behind the guttering itself. Bad guttering causes an enormous amount of hidden damage. Saturated walls, rotted soffits, damp showing up inside. We clear, realign, rehang or replace as needed, in matching uPVC profiles. Full uPVC gutter replacement specifications are on our Soffits, Fascias & Gutters page.

Roof Leaking Right Now?
Don’t wait. Small leaks become big bills fast. Call us on 07304 092761 between 7am and 8pm, 7 days a week, and we’ll book you in. Usually same day for anything genuinely urgent.
The Longer You Leave It, the More It Costs
A £200 repair today is a £2,000 rafter-replacement job next winter. Once water’s in the timbers, it spreads, and by the time you see it indoors, you’re rarely just fixing the roof any more. That’s why we always quote for genuine repairs honestly, even when we suspect you’ll need more work down the line.
Get in touch and we’ll come out, climb up where we need to, and tell you exactly what the roof needs. No charge for the survey, no obligation, and no pressure to book anything.
Every Repair Guaranteed in Writing
Repairs don’t come with a 20-year guarantee the way a full new roof does. The scope is different, but every repair job we carry out is still backed properly:
Written Repair Guarantee
You'll get a written guarantee specific to the work we've done, with the guarantee period depending on the scope. Small patch repairs typically carry 12 months; larger sectional work, chimney re-pointing and lead re-dressing come with longer cover. We'll tell you upfront exactly what's guaranteed and for how long.
£10 Million Public Liability
Every repair job, no matter how small, is covered by our £10 million public liability insurance. That protects your property, your neighbours and anyone in the vicinity from the moment we arrive on site.
CORC Membership
Confederation of Roofing Contractors membership means we're independently assessed, regularly audited, and held to a published code of conduct. It's an extra layer of accountability most roofers simply don't have.
F. A. Q
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions we get about roof repairs. If yours isn’t covered, ring us on 07304 092761. Always happy to talk it through.
For genuine emergencies. Active leaks during bad weather, storm-damaged roofs, anything actually dangerous. We'll almost always attend the same day within our opening hours (7am-8pm, Monday to Sunday). We deliberately keep diary capacity free for urgent jobs. Ring 07304 092761 rather than using the contact form if it's time-sensitive.
Yes, always. The vast majority of our repair work is on roofs fitted by other firms, sometimes decades ago. We'll diagnose honestly and quote fairly, regardless of who did the original installation.
Generally, if your roof is less than 30 years old and the damage is localised, repair is the sensible option. If it's over 50 years old, has multiple issues happening at once, and has been patched several times already, a full replacement usually works out cheaper within five years. We'll give you an honest assessment either way. A repair recommendation when repair is right, and a replacement recommendation only when it's genuinely needed.
Yes, and this is actually the hardest and most important part of any roof repair. Water travels along rafters, across noggins and down pipework before appearing inside, often several feet from the actual entry point. We take the time to trace the real source properly. Visual inspection from above, dye testing where it helps, and the pattern-recognition that comes from two decades of finding leaks nobody else could.
Yes. We photograph and document damage in detail, provide clear itemised quotes in the format loss adjusters expect, and can correspond directly with your insurer if that makes things easier. Storm damage from named storms and significant weather events is usually covered under standard buildings insurance. Your excess permitting.
Yes. Every repair comes with a written guarantee specific to the work carried out. Small patch repairs typically carry 12 months of cover; larger sectional work, re-pointing and lead re-dressing come with longer. We'll tell you exactly what's covered before any work starts.
No. Quotes and on-site surveys are always free, with absolutely no obligation to book. If we come out, look at the roof, and tell you it's a 20-minute fix your local handyman could do, that's fine. We don't lose sleep over it. The free survey is how we earn your trust before any money changes hands.
