Roof Repairs
Roof Repairs in Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire & Norfolk
A drip in the loft or a tile on the drive rarely fixes itself. We get up there, find the real cause, show you photos of it and repair it properly — usually the same week, often the same day.

The problem
Small roof faults turn into big ones
Most roofs in the Fens take a battering from flat, open wind. Once one tile lifts, the next gust gets underneath it, and water that once ran off the roof starts running into the felt, the battens and eventually your ceiling. By the time a stain shows indoors, the problem has usually been there a while.
The other common story is the patch-up that never quite held. A bit of sealant over a crack, a tile slid back without a fixing — it looks fine from the ground until the next storm. We see a lot of roofs where the original fault was small but the earlier repair hid it rather than fixed it.
Signs to look out for
- 01Damp patches or brown rings on bedroom ceilings
- 02Tiles or slates lying on the lawn, drive or in the gutter
- 03Daylight visible through the roof from inside the loft
- 04A ridge tile that rocks, or mortar crumbling off the ridge
- 05Water dripping from the eaves when the gutters aren't overflowing
- 06A musty smell or damp insulation in the loft
How we fix it
Find it, show you, fix it properly
Every repair starts with a proper look. We go up, check the tiles, ridge, verges, valleys and flashings, and look at the felt and battens where we can. Then we show you the photos — what's wrong, why it's happening and what we'd do about it — so you're not taking anything on trust.
The repair itself is done to last: slipped tiles refixed with proper clips or nails, cracked ones replaced with a matching profile, loose ridges re-bedded or converted to a dry-fix system, tired lead dressed back or renewed. Where the felt underneath has failed in one area, we cut back to sound material and lap in new breathable membrane rather than leaving a weak spot.
If we find the roof is past repairing, we'll say so plainly and explain why — but we won't push a re-roof on a roof that only needs a few hours' work.
What we repair with
- Matched tiles & slates
- Concrete, clay, pantile and natural slate sourced to match the profile and colour of your existing roof as closely as possible.
- Breathable membrane
- Modern underlay lapped into the old felt where it has torn or perished, so water drains to the gutter, not the loft.
- Dry ridge & dry verge
- Mechanically fixed systems that don't rely on mortar, so they don't crack out in frost and wind.
- Code lead
- Proper sheet lead for valleys, abutments and flashings, dressed and fixed rather than smeared with sealant.
Good to know
Repair now, save later
A roof repair done early is almost always smaller than one done late. A single slipped tile left over winter lets water soak the batten beneath it, and by spring that soft batten can no longer hold the tiles around it. If you spot something from the ground, a quick photo on WhatsApp is the easiest way to find out whether it needs attention now or can wait.

FAQs
Roof repairs: your questions
How quickly can you repair my roof?
We often get to customers the same day or the next day, including Saturdays. If water is coming in, tell us when you call and we'll prioritise making it watertight first, then come back to finish the full repair.
Can you match my old tiles?
In most cases, yes. We carry and source a wide range of concrete, clay and slate profiles. On older or discontinued tiles we'll find the closest match and, where it matters, use salvaged tiles from a less visible slope.
Do I need scaffolding for a roof repair?
Not always. Many repairs can be done safely from ladders and roof ladders. For work near the eaves on tall houses, or bigger jobs, we organise scaffold for you so you don't have to deal with it.
Will you tell me if I actually need a new roof?
Yes, honestly. If the felt has perished across the whole roof or leaks keep appearing in different places, a re-roof is often better value. We'll show you photos and explain both options so you can decide.
Can you fix a repair someone else did badly?
Yes, and we do it a lot. We'll strip back the earlier work, find the original fault and repair it properly, with photos so you can see the difference.
