Roof Repairs in Reading, Basingstoke & Tadley

🔨 Roof Repairs We Carry Out

Our repair work covers the full range of pitched roof problems. Slipped or broken tiles and slates replaced in matching or closest available material. Flashing repairs — the lead or mortar seals around chimneys, abutments, and roof junctions that are one of the most common sources of leaks. Ridge tile re-bedding and repointing where traditional mortar has cracked or lifted. Valley repairs, including re-laying or replacing lead-lined or fibre valleys. Damaged or missing verge mortar on exposed gable ends.

We also carry out felt repairs where the underlayment has deteriorated and is allowing water in from beneath the tiles. Storm and wind damage is something we see regularly across this area — high winds lift ridge tiles, crack mortar, shift slates, and pull back lead flashings more often than most homeowners expect. If you've had a storm through, it's worth a check even if nothing obvious is visible from the ground. For flat roof repairs specifically, see our flat roofing page.

💧 Why Prompt Roof Repairs Matter

Water finding its way past a damaged tile or failed flashing doesn't stay contained. It soaks into timber battens and rafters, leading to rot that becomes structural if left long enough. Wet insulation loses its effectiveness and becomes a breeding ground for mould. Damp patches on ceilings spread further with each rain shower, affecting plasterwork, electrics, and eventually the rooms below. Catching a problem early is almost always cheaper than dealing with the knock-on damage later.

There's also the question of cumulative wear. A slipped tile doesn't just create one entry point for water — it puts more stress on surrounding tiles, which can shift or crack in turn. Fixing a single tile is a much simpler job than waiting until three or four have worked loose. We'll always give you an honest picture of whether a straightforward repair will address the issue or whether something more significant is going on.

💷 How Much Does Roof Repair Cost in the UK?

Minor repairs — a handful of broken tiles, a small repointing job, or a simple flashing patch — typically come in between £100 and £400. More involved work such as re-laying a section of valley, re-bedding a full ridge run, or addressing widespread felt failure sits higher, in the £500 to £1,500+ range, depending on the extent and what access is needed. Scaffolding is sometimes required for larger or higher repair jobs, which adds to the overall cost.

We provide a written estimate before any work starts and won't begin without your agreement. Emergency or urgent callouts — where weather is actively getting in — are something we accommodate where possible. If you're unsure how serious the damage is, give us a call and we'll talk it through.
