Find the Cause, Fix It Once
A damp patch on the ceiling, a tile on the drive. Most roof problems show up inside the house or on the ground before anyone looks at the roof itself. What you want is someone to come out, find where the water is getting in and tell you straight what it will take to put right.
That is the work we do every week. Stevenage Roofing repairs pitched and flat roofs on houses, bungalows and commercial buildings. We look at the whole roof, explain what we found in plain English and quote for the repair it actually needs.
Most leaks are a repair, not a new roof. A slipped tile, a cracked flashing or a worn valley can let water in for months while the rest of the roof is still sound. When a repair is the right answer, that is what we quote for.
Emergency Roof Repairs in Stevenage
Water coming in now? Ring 01438 594 222. Tiles blown off in a storm, a ceiling starting to drip, a flat roof that has split - an emergency roof repair is about stopping the water first and working out the full repair second.
Watertight first. We make the roof weathertight as quickly as we can, with a temporary repair where that is what it takes - refixing tiles, sheeting over the damage or patching a flat roof.
Then the proper repair. Once the cause is found and any matching tiles or materials are in, we come back and fix it properly, so you are not left living with a patch.
What We Repair
Leaks: traced back to where the water gets in - around chimneys, roof windows, valleys and where the roof meets a wall - rather than where it shows on the ceiling.
Slipped, cracked and missing tiles or slates: refixed or replaced, matched as closely as possible to what is already on the roof.
Flashing: lead and mortar flashings renewed where they have cracked, lifted or pulled away from the brickwork.
Ridge and hip tiles: loose or cracked ridges rebedded or replaced so they stay put in high wind.
Valleys: split or worn valleys relined, one of the most common causes of a leak that keeps coming back.
Flat roofs: splits, blisters and failed joints on felt and single-ply roofs. More on our flat roofing page.
Fascias, soffits and gutters: replaced where rot or overflowing water has set in. See guttering.
Roof Repair Questions
Can you stop a leak in an emergency?
Yes. If water is coming in now, ring 01438 594 222. We make the roof watertight as quickly as we can, then come back for the permanent repair once the cause is found and any materials are in.
How much does a roof repair cost?
It depends on what has failed and how easy it is to reach. A few slipped tiles that can be reached from a ladder is a small job. A valley or a chimney flashing that needs scaffolding costs more. We look first and give you a clear price before anything starts, and the quote is free.
Why does the stain show somewhere different from the leak?
Water runs along the felt and the timbers before it drips, so a stain on the ceiling can be a metre or more away from the actual gap. That is why we trace a leak from the roof side rather than patching the tiles above the stain.
Do you repair slate roofs as well as tiled roofs?
Yes. Broken and slipped slates are replaced and fixed with clips, as well as concrete and clay tiles. If a matching slate or tile has to be sourced, the roof is made weathertight in the meantime.
