Roof Repairs

Roof Repairs in Aylsham

Roof repairs cover a wide range of problems: missing or cracked slates and tiles, failed mortar on ridge or hip tiles, cracked or poorly dressed lead flashings, blocked valleys, and damaged felt underlay. Most of these issues start small but cause serious damage if left, as water finding its way past the outer skin will rot rafters and saturate insulation.

When we arrive, we inspect the whole roof, not just the obvious damage. A slipped tile is sometimes a symptom of a wider issue such as corroded fixings or failed underlay, and we will tell you honestly what we find. Repairs typically involve removing damaged tiles or slates and replacing like-for-like, re-bedding and pointing loose ridge tiles with modern mortar, cutting out and re-dressing lead flashings that have lifted or cracked, and clearing any debris from valleys and gutters that may be causing water to back up.

Roof repairs are not a job for a ladder and a tube of sealant. Working at height on a pitched roof requires the right equipment, and applying sealant over a failed flashing or cracked tile is a temporary fix that usually fails within a season. Proper repairs address the cause, not just the symptom.

We aim to respond to repair enquiries in Aylsham within 48 hours and can usually complete straightforward repairs in a single visit. We carry a stock of common plain concrete and fibre cement tiles, so minor re-tiling jobs do not need to wait for materials. We will also advise you on the overall condition of the roof while we are there.

Roof repairs in Aylsham for minor work such as re-bedding ridge tiles or replacing a handful of slates typically cost between £150 and £400, while more involved flashing or valley repairs range from £300 to £700.
