Roof repairs

Replacing broken or slipped tiles, re-fixing loose verges, renewing lead flashings and tracing leaks. Repairs suit roofs that are mostly sound, with problems in one area. We use matching tiles where they're still made or reclaimed ones where they aren't, and we'll tell you honestly if repairs won't last.

Full re-roof

Stripping the old covering and replacing it with new treated battens, breathable membrane and tiles or slates, with dry-fix ridges and verges and new flashings. A re-roof is the time to fix ventilation, upgrade loft insulation and replace damaged timbers. It's usually notified to building control or self-certified by a registered roofer.

Pitched roofing in Great Wyrley: common questions

How long does a re-roof take?

A typical semi takes around one to two weeks, including scaffolding, stripping, re-covering and clearing up. Rain and high winds can add days, because we don't strip sections we can't cover safely. Repairs, ridge work and most chimney jobs take a day or two once access is in place.
