Roofing & guttering repairs, done properly

Most roofs don’t need replacing. They need the right repair, done properly. We deal with the everyday problems that let water in and cause damage over time, from a handful of slipped tiles to a section that’s seen better days.

We’ll take a proper look, tell you what we’ve found in plain terms, and give you a straightforward quote before any work starts.

Repairs can include:

• Replacing slipped, cracked or missing tiles and slates
• Re-bedding or repointing ridge and hip tiles
• Repairs to flashing around chimneys, valleys and abutments
• Small sections of re-felting or re-tiling where needed
• Making a roof watertight again after damage

Guttering is easy to ignore until it overflows down a wall. Blocked or broken gutters are one of the most common causes of damp, so keeping them clear and running properly protects the rest of the building.

We clear, repair and replace guttering and downpipes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a repair will do or whether a section is past it.

Guttering work can include:

• Clearing blocked gutters, hoppers and downpipes
• Re-fixing sagging or pulled-away guttering
• Sealing leaking joints and repairing splits
• Replacing damaged sections of gutter and downpipe
• Realigning gutters so they drain the way they should

Chimneys take a battering from the weather and are a common place for leaks to start. Worn pointing, cracked flaunching or failed flashing all let water in where the stack meets the roof.

We carry out chimney repairs and make sure the joint between the chimney and the roof is properly sealed.

Chimney work can include:

• Repointing worn or crumbling mortar joints
• Renewing cracked flaunching around the pots
• Repairing or replacing lead flashing at the base of the stack
• Making a leaking chimney watertight again

Where a chimney is beyond economical repair, we’ll say so honestly rather than patching over it.

The cheapest roof repair is the one you catch early. A bit of regular upkeep goes a long way towards avoiding the bigger, more expensive problems further down the line.

Whether you want a look over an older roof, a build-up of moss dealt with, or a small job sorting before it grows, we’re happy to help. No job too small.

Maintenance can include:

• Checking over a roof and reporting back on its condition
• Clearing moss, debris and build-up from tiles and gutters
• Small repairs picked up before they get worse
• Tidying up flashing, pointing and ridge lines
• Sensible advice on what needs doing now and what can wait
