The problem

A small leak becomes a big bill

Left alone, a slipped tile or a hairline crack in old lead flashing lets water into the roof structure. It soaks battens and rafters, ruins insulation, and eventually shows up as a stain on your ceiling. By that point, the repair is far larger than it needed to be, since the damage has usually spread well beyond the original fault.

West London's exposed roofs, tall chimneys and valley gutters give water plenty of ways in. Because of that, we find the actual source rather than chasing the stain, fix it properly, and check the surrounding area. This way, the same problem doesn't return next winter.

Not sure whether your roof needs a repair or a full replacement? See our guide to repairing versus replacing a roof, or our 7 signs your roof needs replacing for the warning signs we look for on inspection.

Roof repair questions

What causes a roof to leak? +
The most common culprits in West London are slipped or cracked tiles and slates, failed or missing lead flashing around chimneys and valleys, blocked or split gutters, and worn felt on flat roofs. Water often travels along timbers before it appears inside, so the internal stain rarely sits directly under the fault — which is why a proper inspection matters.
Should I repair or replace my roof? +
If the covering is generally sound and the problem is localised — a handful of slipped tiles, a leak around a chimney, or a failed section of flashing — a repair is usually the sensible, cost-effective choice. If the roof is old, sagging, or leaking in multiple places, we'll be honest and tell you when replacement is the better long-term option.
Do you offer emergency roof repairs? +
Yes. We prioritise urgent leaks and storm damage that risk water getting into the property. Send us your address and a description of the problem through the contact form and we'll respond as quickly as we can to make the roof safe and watertight.
Will my home insurance cover roof repairs? +
Storm and accidental damage is often covered by buildings insurance, while general wear and tear usually isn't. We can provide a clear written assessment and quote describing the damage, which is exactly what most insurers ask for when you make a claim.
