Roof Repairs in Peterborough

Repairs to leaks, damaged tiles, ridges, valleys and flashing.

Roof leaks can be caused by damaged coverings, loose flashing or faults around ridges and valleys. Water may travel through the roof before it becomes visible indoors.

We carry out roof repairs, including replacement tiles and slates, ridge repairs, flashing work and storm damage repairs. Contact us to arrange an inspection.

Signs you might need this

  • A damp patch on a bedroom ceiling after rain
  • Tiles or slates in the garden or gutter after wind
  • Loose or cracked ridge tiles along the top of the roof
  • Moss-choked valleys with water overspilling
  • Lifting or split lead around a chimney or wall

What the work covers

  • Leak tracing and repair
  • Slipped, cracked and missing tile and slate replacement
  • Ridge and hip re-bedding and re-pointing
  • Valley re-lining and flashing repairs
  • Storm damage repairs and making safe

Considering solar panels? We can check whether the roof is in a suitable condition first and coordinate the roofing side with the installation. See our solar service.

Planning roof repairs

Why can the ceiling stain be away from the entry point?

Water can travel along roof components. The inspection should trace the route instead of replacing only the piece immediately above the stain.

Can a repair address the junction rather than the entire slope?

Yes where the surrounding construction is sound. The repair extent depends on the failed detail and adjoining material condition.

What does repeated tile displacement tell the surveyor?

It may suggest broader fixing deterioration rather than isolated damage. Provide the dates and positions of earlier repairs.

Can a coating replace a properly formed roof flashing?

Not necessarily. A surface treatment can leave an underlying junction or movement defect unresolved.

What should I avoid doing after roof damage?

Stay clear of loose material and do not climb onto the roof or disturb unknown coverings. Record symptoms safely and call.

Should planned solar be mentioned before repairing the roof?

Yes. The repair and future panel positions should be considered together so sound weatherproofing is not altered unnecessarily later.
