Roof Repairs
Find the cause. Fix the problem.
Roof leaks and storm damage need more than a quick patch. Wear & Tear Roofing Ltd investigates the source of the problem, makes the roof safe where necessary and provides a clear route to a lasting repair.
Active leak or storm damage?
Tell us when you call. Urgent roofing problems are prioritised where practical and our team will advise you on the safest next step.
Common Problems
From a slipped slate to a serious leak.
Water can travel along battens, rafters, membranes and flashings before it becomes visible inside a property, so we inspect the roof properly to find the likely source before recommending a repair.
Flashing & Leadwork
Repair of flashings, valleys and associated lead details.
Failed Valleys & Gutters
Repairs to vulnerable junctions and drainage.
Chimney Repairs
Repairs, reduction or removal work where appropriate to the project.
Ridge & Verge Defects
Repairs to weathering details at ridges, hips and verges.
Storm Damage
Assessment and repair of qualifying storm-related roofing damage.
How We Diagnose & Repair
From first call to permanent repair.
- 01
Tell us what is happening
Send photographs and a description of the problem. If water is actively entering the property, tell us immediately.
- 02
Investigate
We inspect the roof using the most appropriate method to find the likely source, making safe first where urgent.
- 03
Explain & repair
We set out the issue and proposed repair clearly, then carry out the approved work.
Temporary weatherproofing may stop immediate water entry, but it is not always the permanent repair. Where further work is needed, we will explain the recommended solution and provide a written quotation before proceeding.
Honest Advice
Repair it — or is it time to replace it?
Not every leaking roof needs replacing. Where a local repair is sensible and likely to provide value, we will say so. If the covering has deteriorated to the point where repeated repairs are unlikely to be economical, we will explain the condition honestly and discuss re-roofing options instead.
Storm damage & insurance: Photographic evidence and a written description of the roofing work may help support discussions with your insurer. Cover depends entirely on your individual policy and insurer — Wear & Tear Roofing Ltd cannot confirm whether a particular claim will be accepted.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
- Is water currently coming in?
- Tell us immediately when you enquire. Active water ingress is prioritised where practical. Do not attempt unsafe access to the roof yourself.
- Will my insurance cover storm damage?
- That depends entirely on the terms of your policy and your insurer's assessment. We can provide photographic evidence and a written description or quotation for the roofing work, but your insurer decides whether the loss is covered.
- Do you charge for leak investigation?
- Our roofing quotations are free and no-obligation. If diagnosing a problem requires specialist access or a separate detailed survey, we will explain any applicable cost first.
- Can you repair rather than replace?
- Yes, where a repair is technically sensible and offers reasonable value. If deterioration is widespread and repeated repairs are unlikely to be economical, we will explain why re-roofing may be the better option.
