Leaks Fixed Properly, Not Patched Over
Most roof leaks are not where you think they are. Water runs along a batten or a rafter and comes through the ceiling several feet from where it actually got in - which is why a patch over the damp mark so often fails.
We get up on the roof and track it back to the source, then explain what needs doing in language that makes sense. You will know exactly what you are paying for before we lift a tool.
Slipped slates, storm damage, worn lead around a chimney, a failed valley, or a leak nobody else has managed to find - it is all routine work for us. And if a simple repair will sort it, that is what we will quote you for.

Roof Repairs We Carry Out
We handle the full range of pitched and flat roof repairs on homes across Lewisham, including:
- Leak detection and repair - tracing water back to its real source, not just sealing the damp patch.
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles - matched to what is already up there and refixed to hold.
- Lead flashing repairs - around chimneys, valleys and roof-to-wall joints, where a large share of leaks begin.
- Valley gutter repairs - clearing, relining or replacing the valley that runs between two roof slopes.
- Ridge and verge work - re-bedding or dry-fixing ridge tiles the wind has worked loose.
- Storm damage - a fast response once the weather has done its worst, and help with the insurance paperwork if you need it.
If water is coming in right now, sort the inside first - move anything valuable, get a bucket under it, and switch off the circuit if it is anywhere near a light fitting. Then call us and we will get to you as quickly as we can.
Frequently asked questions
Roof Repair Questions, Answered
It is driven by the fault, not the size of the roof. A few slipped slates is a small job on any house; a failed valley, worn lead or a chimney needing work is a bigger one. Whether scaffolding is needed makes a difference too. We look first, then give you a firm price.
Because most of the cost is getting safely to the problem rather than the repair itself. Once someone is up there, it is worth having anything else that needs doing sorted at the same time rather than paying for access twice.
Storm damage usually is. Wear and tear usually is not. If the weather has caused it, we will give you a written report of the damage and what it takes to put right, which is what your insurer will want to see.
Because the last repair treated the stain rather than the source. Water runs along battens and rafters before it drops, so the entry point is often well away from the damp patch. We go looking for the actual cause.
Wind and age, mostly. Wind lifts and slips slates and tiles, and the nails holding them corrode over time until they no longer grip. After that it is failed lead and flashings, blocked gutters and valleys, and frost getting into cracked mortar.
As quickly as we can. An active leak gets priority because stopping the water is usually the difference between a small repair and a ruined ceiling.
