What is roof repairs and what does it involve?
Whether a single slipped slate, a leak around a chimney or damaged flashing, our team diagnoses the cause and completes a durable repair — not a quick patch.
Done properly, first time.
We repair pitched and flat roofs on domestic and light commercial properties. Every repair starts with a proper inspection so the underlying cause is resolved, not just the visible symptom.
- Slipped, cracked and missing slates or tiles replaced with matched materials
- Chimney flashing, valleys and abutments re-leaded and re-pointed
- Ridge and hip re-bedding using traditional or dry-fix systems
- Localised felt, torch-on and EPDM flat roof repairs
- Leak tracing with visual and drone-assisted inspection
Straightforward, start to finish.
- Step 01
Free inspection
We attend, examine the roof and identify the cause. Drone imagery used where useful.
- Step 02
Clear written quote
Fixed-price where possible, itemised, with the recommended repair explained plainly.
- Step 03
Repair carried out
Scheduled at your convenience. Site left clean; all debris removed.
- Step 04
Evidence and guarantee
Before-and-after photos supplied with a written workmanship guarantee.
Honest about the variables.
We don't publish fixed prices — every roof is different. Here's what genuinely moves a quote up or down.
- Roof pitch and access requirements (ladders vs scaffold)
- Age and material of the existing roof covering
- Extent of hidden damage found once tiles are lifted
- Whether matching reclaimed slate or tile is required
Questions we're asked most.
How quickly can you repair a leaking roof?
+
For active leaks we aim to make the roof watertight the same day where possible. Full repair timing depends on materials and access.
Do you guarantee your repairs?
+
Yes. All repair work carries a written workmanship guarantee. [CLIENT TO CONFIRM: Duration].
Will you provide photos of the completed work?
+
Yes — every job includes before-and-after imagery so you can see exactly what was done.
Do you provide a free written quote?
+
Yes. We survey the roof, then send an itemised written quote you can compare line-by-line. No verbal-only estimates and no pressure to commit.
Are you fully insured?
+
Yes — public liability and employers' liability cover. Proof of insurance is available on request before you engage us.
Do you supply photo evidence of completed work?
+
Every job closes with a before/during/after photo pack. On drone-surveyed jobs we include aerial imagery as well.
How do you handle waste and site tidiness?
+
Skip or grab-lorry provision is included in the quote. Site is swept and left as we'd want our own home left — no nails on the drive, no debris in the flowerbeds.
Which areas of Cumbria do you cover?
+
Carlisle, wider Cumbria, the Lake District and selected areas of the Scottish Borders. If you're near the boundary, call — we'll tell you honestly.
