Roof Repairs in King's Lynn

How we handle roof repairs

Roof repairs cover everything from a single slipped tile after a storm to failed lead flashing around a chimney stack that's been slowly tracking water into a bedroom wall for months. If you've spotted damp patches on a ceiling, missing or broken tiles, or moss-covered sections that look like they've shifted, it's worth getting it looked at before the damage spreads.

Most roof repairs involve replacing cracked or broken tiles and slates, re-bedding or re-pointing ridge and hip tiles, renewing lead flashings at chimney bases and abutments, repairing or replacing damaged felt in localised areas, and clearing blocked gutters or valleys that are causing water to back up under the roof covering. We carry a stock of common tile profiles in our van so minor repairs can often be completed on the same visit as the survey.

Roofing work above single-storey height carries a real risk of falls, and a poorly made repair - mortar mixed too dry, flashing not dressed properly - can let in more water than it keeps out. An untrained repair can also invalidate your building insurance if a subsequent claim is investigated. Using a trained, insured roofer protects you on both counts.

When you call us, we'll arrange to inspect the roof - usually within two to three working days. We'll photograph any problem areas and talk you through exactly what needs doing and why before we start. Small repairs such as replacing a handful of tiles or re-pointing a ridge section can normally be done in a few hours. Larger flashing renewals or extensive re-bedding work may take a full day. We back all repairs with a five-year workmanship guarantee.

Roof repair costs in King's Lynn typically range from £150 for a single tile replacement to £900 or more for a full chimney flashing renewal, depending on access and the extent of the work.
