Roof Repairs in Kent

Most roof problems start small. A slipped tile, a failed flashing or a blocked valley lets water in, and by the time a ceiling stains the timber underneath has usually been wet for months. We find the cause, not just the symptom.

Roof repairs across Kent, from a slipped slate to storm damage

Most roof problems start small and stay hidden. A single slipped tile, a cracked mortar fillet or a blocked valley lets water past the covering, and by the time a ceiling stains the timber above it has usually been wet for months. Finding the entry point matters more than patching the symptom, because water rarely appears directly below where it got in.

What gets repaired

Slipped, cracked and missing tiles and slates. Failed lead flashing at chimneys, abutments and valleys, including the cement fillets that were used instead of lead and have since cracked. Ridge and hip tiles where the bedding mortar has failed. Leaking valleys, blocked or split guttering, and flat roofs that have failed at the upstands.

How the cause is found

A proper diagnosis looks at the roof, not just the stain. That means checking the whole run above the leak, the flashings either side, and where relevant the neighbouring property, because on terraced streets a shared valley moves water between houses. Where a leak has been running a while the covering is lifted to see the battens and underlay before quoting, since a tile put back over wet timber does not stay fixed.

Emergencies

An active leak gets made safe and watertight first. The permanent repair is quoted afterwards, once the cause is visible rather than guessed at.

Your Common Roof Repairs Questions Answered

For an active leak we aim to attend the same day or the next working day and make the roof safe and watertight first. The permanent repair is quoted afterwards, once we can see what actually caused it rather than guessing from inside.

The usual test is whether the failures are isolated or spread. A handful of slipped tiles on an otherwise sound covering is a repair. Widespread nail sickness, sagging between rafters, or the same leak returning in different places usually means the covering has reached the end of its life and patching is money spent twice.

We can make a roof safe and temporarily watertight in most conditions. Permanent repairs, particularly anything involving mortar, lead or adhesives, need dry weather to cure properly, so we will hold off rather than do work that fails in a month.

Most buildings policies cover storm damage but not gradual wear, and insurers routinely decline claims where a roof was already in poor condition. We provide a written assessment with photographs that sets out what failed and why, which is what an insurer needs to see.
