Slipped tiles, leaks, storm damage and ridge work — fixed properly, same-day where we can. Free, no-obligation quotes across all of Kent.
Roof repairs — done properly, first time.
Roof repairs are the bulk of our day-to-day work. Most of the calls we get follow the same pattern — a leak shows up on a ceiling, a tile slips after high winds, ridge mortar starts to fail, or a chimney flashing lifts. The fix is usually straightforward; the diagnosis isn't always. We get on the roof, find the actual cause (not just the visible symptom), and put it right.
What separates a proper repair from a patch is whether the underlying problem is found. We've seen plenty of jobs where the leak point is several feet from where water shows inside — water travels along battens, lead trays and felt before it drops. We trace it back, then fix it once.
Every kind of roof repairs work we take on.
-
Slipped, broken & missing tiles
Replaced like-for-like with a proper bed of mortar or mechanical fixings as appropriate.
-
Roof leaks & ingress
Traced back to actual source — felt, flashing, valley or ridge — not just the visible drip point.
-
Storm damage
High-wind tile loss, broken ridge, lifted lead, blown-off ridge caps. Quick response when needed.
-
Ridge & hip repointing
Cement re-bedding, or modern dry-fix systems where the original ridge has had its day.
-
Valley repairs
Lead valley re-dressing, GRP valley liner replacement, mortar repointing along edges.
-
Roof ventilation
Tile vents, ridge vents and felt-lap solutions for damp loft spaces.
-
Flashing repairs
Lead flashing dressing and renewal around chimneys, abutments, soil pipes and skylights.
-
Felt & underlay patching
Where felt has perished at the eaves or in localised areas — temporary or permanent.
Common leak culprits we find
-
Failed ridge mortar
The most common single source — mortar perishes after 20–30 years and lifts in wind. Re-bed or convert to dry-fix.
-
Cracked or lifted flashing
Lead flashing around chimneys works loose with temperature cycling. Re-dress or renew.
-
Slipped tile two metres uphill
Water enters at the slipped tile and tracks down the felt before it drops. We trace it back.
-
Blocked or split valley
Debris and moss block the valley; water backs up and finds the lap. Clear, repair, sometimes replace the liner.
-
Perished felt at the eaves
Old bitumen felt cracks; water spills behind the gutter and rots the soffit. Targeted strip-and-replace.

Roof repairs — frequently asked questions.
Direct answers to the things Kent homeowners ask us most about roof repairs. Don’t see yours? Just call.
How quickly can you come out for a roof repair?
Where the diary allows, we attend the same day for urgent leaks in the Cranbrook, Maidstone, Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells area. For non-urgent repairs we typically book within 1–2 weeks. Call us on 07759 089 271 — we’ll tell you straight.
How much does a typical roof repair cost?
Small repairs (a few slipped tiles, a single flashing dressing) often fall in the £150–£350 range. Larger jobs (full ridge re-pointing, valley re-lining) run £500–£1,500+. We come out, look properly, and give a fixed written quote with no obligation.
Will you find the actual leak or just patch what you can see?
We trace the leak back to source. Water often shows inside the property several feet from the actual entry point — we follow it back along felt, battens and flashings to find the real cause, not just the symptom.
Do you do small one-tile jobs?
Yes. No job is too small. A single slipped tile gets the same care as a full re-roof — same crew, same standards, same workmanship guarantee.
Are temporary repairs an option if I can’t afford the full fix?
Yes. If a permanent repair isn’t in budget right now, we’ll discuss a temporary fix (tarpaulin, sealant, targeted patch) to stop further damage while you plan. We’ll always tell you when a temporary fix is a poor long-term choice.
Is the repair guaranteed?
Yes — every repair carries our workmanship guarantee. If something we’ve fixed isn’t right, we come back and put it right.
