What Roof Repairs Involves
Roof repairs cover everything from a single slipped or cracked tile to tracing a stubborn leak, replacing a damaged section of underlay, refixing loose ridge tiles or renewing failed flashings around a chimney or wall.
You need a repair when water is getting in, when you can see tiles missing or out of line, or when you can see damp patches, staining or daylight from the loft. Storms, heavy rain and age are the usual triggers.
Leaks rarely show up directly under where the water gets in. It can run along battens, rafters and membrane before dripping onto a ceiling metres away. That's why a proper diagnosis matters: we trace the water back to its source, show you photos of what we find, and fix the cause rather than the symptom.
If it's left
What Happens If You
Wait Another Winter
Small leaks spread
A drip today becomes wet insulation, stained ceilings and rotting battens within a few months of wet weather.
Ceiling collapse risk
Plasterboard that stays wet loses its strength and can sag or come down, which is costly and dangerous.
Electrical hazards
Water tracking along timbers can reach light fittings and wiring in the loft and ceilings.
Bigger bills later
Leaving a repair until it fails completely often means replacing a whole section instead of a few tiles.
Common Mistakes
Homeowners Make
- Using sealant or mastic as a quick fix that traps water and fails within a season
- Repairing where the drip appears instead of where the water enters
- Waiting for dry weather when the damage is already spreading

In detail
Roof Repairs Across
Leicester & Blaby
Leak tracing
We inspect from inside the loft and outside on the roof, checking tiles, underlay, flashings, valleys and ridges. Where safe access is difficult we can use a drone inspection. You get a photographic report so you can see the cause for yourself.
Tile and slate repairs
Slipped, cracked and missing tiles or slates are replaced with matching or close-matching materials and fixed properly, with the underlay beneath checked and repaired where needed.
Underlay and membrane repairs
Where old felt has torn or perished, we lift the tiles and renew the affected section with breathable membrane. This work is usually guaranteed for 10 years, and 5 years in some cases.
Flashings, valleys and abutments
Many leaks start where the roof meets something else: a chimney, a wall or a valley. We repair or renew the lead and mortar details at these junctions so they stay watertight.
Storm damage
After high winds we make the roof safe first, then carry out a permanent repair. We can provide photos and a report that may help with an insurance claim.
Homes and Rental Properties
Most of our roof repairs work is for homeowners, from terraces and semis to bungalows and detached houses. We also work for landlords who need a reliable fix and a clear record of what was done. Every job gets the same approach: a proper look at the roof, photos of what we find, and a fixed price before anything starts. If you're a landlord or a prospective buyer rather than the owner occupier, a £75 fee applies to the inspection; for homeowners it's free.
How to Choose a Roofer
Ask for a written, fixed price rather than a day rate, so the cost can't creep up once the scaffold is up. Ask to see photos of the problem before agreeing to anything. Check the guarantee, and get it in writing. Ask who will actually be on your roof. With us, it's Bobby Button and a team of four from start to finish, and the guarantee for your job is confirmed with your quote.
What to Expect on the Day
We turn up when we say we will and talk you through the plan before work starts. The roof is kept weathertight at the end of every working day, and we clear away old materials and debris as we go. When the job is finished we check it over, show you the completed work and tidy the site properly, so the only thing you notice is a roof that works.
Your Guarantee, Explained
Guarantee length depends on the type of work. A new roof is guaranteed for 25 years as standard. Work involving breathable membrane, including many leak repairs, is usually guaranteed for 10 years and in some cases 5. Cement work such as mortar and pointing is guaranteed for 5 years. Whatever your roof repairs involves, the exact guarantee is written into your quote, so you know where you stand before you say yes.

"Robert and his team done a fantastic job. I had a leak on my roof which they fixed very promptly, I also had them re-point my ridge tiles on my roof and it looks great. Very happy with the service, would definitely recommend."
