Roof Repairs for Tiled, Slate and Flat Roofs in Greater London

Most roofs do not need replacing when something goes wrong. A slipped tile, a cracked slate, a loose ridge or a split in a lead flashing can usually be put right on its own, and fixing it promptly stops water getting into the battens, insulation and ceilings below. Ashlar Roofing repairs pitched and flat roofs across Greater London, covering tiles and slates, ridges and hips, valleys, flashings, underfelt and the roofline. The aim is to repair the cause of the problem so the same leak does not come back.

Leaks are not always where the stain appears. Water can travel along a batten or rafter before it drips, so we trace it back from inside and outside to find the real entry point. Where a repair will not last, for example on a roof with widespread nail fatigue or perished felt, we explain why and set out the options. For specific problems, see our pages on chimney repairs, leadwork and moss removal, and if water is coming in now, our emergency roofers page explains how call-outs work.

Pricing

What Affects the Cost of Roof Repairs

The cost of a roof repair usually depends on:

  • What has failed and how much of the roof is affected
  • Matching the tiles or slates already on your roof
  • Access, including whether scaffolding is needed or a smaller access method will do
  • Whether the battens, felt or timber beneath are damaged
  • Any related work such as leadwork, pointing or guttering

The work

How We Carry Out Roof Repairs

The main stages of the job, from the first inspection to the final check.

  1. Understanding the Leak

    We ask where water is showing inside and when it appears. Photos sent on WhatsApp help us prepare for the visit.

  2. Inspecting the Roof

    The roof is checked around the likely entry point, including tiles, flashings, valleys and felt, to confirm the cause.

  3. Making the Repair

    Damaged tiles or slates are replaced, flashings and ridges are secured, and any affected felt or battens are renewed.

  4. Checking the Result

    We review the completed work with you, confirm everything has been done as agreed, and point out anything else on the roof that will need attention.

FAQs

Common Questions About Roof Repairs

Is it worth repairing an old roof, or should I replace it?

If the problem is limited to a few tiles, a ridge or a single flashing, a repair is usually the sensible choice. When slipped tiles or slates keep recurring across the roof, or the felt has perished throughout, repeated repairs stop being good value and a re-roof becomes the better investment.

Why is my ceiling wet when the tiles look fine?

Water often gets in at a flashing, valley or ridge, or through torn felt, and then runs along timbers before it shows on the ceiling. Condensation in a poorly ventilated loft can also look like a leak. Working out the route the water takes is the first part of any repair.

Can you match my existing tiles or slates?

Most common tiles are still manufactured, and older tiles and slates can usually be matched with reclaimed stock. Where an exact match is not possible, the closest option is agreed with you before fitting.

Do roof repairs need scaffolding?

Not always. Small repairs can sometimes be reached with roof ladders or a tower, but scaffolding is needed where the work is extensive, high or hard to reach safely. The access method is set out when the repair is priced.

Will home insurance cover my roof repair?

Many buildings policies cover sudden storm damage but not gradual wear such as nail fatigue or perished felt. Check your policy wording, and keep photos of the damage, as insurers usually ask for them.
