What Roof Repairs Can We Help With?
Roof problems can range from a single broken tile to more substantial damage affecting the roof structure or waterproofing.
Roofing services can include:
Roof Leak Repairs
A leaking roof should not be ignored. Water can enter around damaged tiles, roof coverings, flashing, valleys, chimneys, roof windows and other vulnerable areas.
Finding the source of a leak is not always as simple as looking directly above the visible water damage. The entry point can be further up the roof.
Broken, Slipped or Missing Roof Tiles
Tiles can become cracked, slipped or completely dislodged through age, weather and storm damage.
Replacing individual damaged tiles can sometimes provide a straightforward repair without replacing the entire roof.
Flat Roof Repairs
Flat roofs can develop leaks, splits, failed joints, damaged coverings and problems around edges, outlets and adjoining walls.
We can help with flat roof repair requirements and can also advise when a repair is no longer the most sensible option.
See our Flat Roofing page for more information about flat roof repairs and installation.
Pitched Roof Repairs
Pitched roofs can suffer from damaged or missing tiles, deteriorating mortar, damaged battens, failed flashing and weather-related problems.
The appropriate repair depends on the type and condition of the roof.
Chimney, Leadwork & Flashing Repairs
Lead flashing and other weatherproofing details around chimneys, walls, roof junctions and abutments are common areas for water ingress.
Repairs may be needed where flashing has deteriorated, lifted, cracked or become damaged.
Storm Damage
High winds and severe weather can cause tiles and other roof components to become damaged or displaced.
After a storm, it is worth checking for visible damage even if you have not noticed water coming into the property.
Garage Roof Repairs
Garage roofs can suffer from leaks, ageing felt, damaged coverings and failed joints.
Depending on the condition of the roof, a repair may be possible or replacement may provide the better long-term solution.
Fascias, Soffits & Guttering
Roof problems can sometimes involve more than the main roof covering.
Damaged fascias, soffits and guttering can contribute to water-related problems around the edges of a property.
How Do You Know If Your Roof Needs Repair?
Some roof problems are obvious, while others develop gradually.
Look out for:
- Water stains or damp patches on ceilings
- Dripping water after heavy rain
- Missing or slipped tiles
- Cracked or damaged tiles
- Moss or debris collecting in unusual areas
- Damaged flashing around chimneys
- Sagging areas of the roof
- Damaged or overflowing gutters
- Damp around roof edges
- Daylight visible through the roof space
- Loose roofing materials after strong winds
If you have noticed one of these problems, getting it assessed can help establish whether you need a simple repair, more extensive work or a complete roof replacement.
Roof Repair or New Roof?
Not every damaged roof needs replacing.
A relatively small, localised problem may be repairable, particularly where the rest of the roof is in reasonable condition.
However, if a roof has widespread deterioration, repeated leaks, extensive damage or an ageing covering, replacement may be worth considering.
The right solution depends on the age, construction, materials, condition and extent of the damage.
We believe the job should be assessed properly rather than automatically recommending a complete new roof.
If you are unsure whether your roof needs repairing or replacing, get in touch and explain what is happening.

Roof Repair FAQs
1. How do I know if I need a roof repair?
Common signs include leaks, missing or slipped tiles, cracked tiles, damaged flashing, damp patches and visible damage following bad weather. A roofing assessment can establish what is actually causing the problem.
2. Can a leaking roof be repaired?
In many cases, yes. The solution depends on where the water is entering and what has caused the leak. Some leaks can be resolved with relatively localised repairs, while others may indicate more extensive deterioration.
3. Does a leaking roof always need replacing?
No. A leak does not automatically mean that the entire roof needs replacing. If the problem is localised and the rest of the roof is in reasonable condition, a repair may be appropriate.
4. How much does a roof repair cost?
There is no single price for roof repairs because the cost depends on the type of roof, the location and extent of the damage, access, materials and the work required.
A simple repair can be very different from extensive remedial work.
5. Can you repair storm-damaged roofs?
Storm damage can include slipped or missing tiles and other damaged roofing components. The appropriate repair depends on the extent of the damage and the condition of the surrounding roof.
6. Do you repair flat roofs?
Yes, flat roof problems can include leaks, damaged coverings, failed joints and problems around edges or outlets. The condition of the existing roof will determine whether repair or replacement is more appropriate.
7. Do you repair pitched roofs?
Yes. Pitched roof repairs can include damaged or missing tiles, flashing problems and other localised roofing issues.
8. Do you cover Sussex and Surrey?
Find My Roofer is being developed to cover a wide area across Sussex and Surrey, including West Sussex, East Sussex and Surrey.
9. Can I send photographs of my roof problem?
Yes. Photographs can be useful for giving an initial indication of the problem. However, they may not show everything that needs attention, so an inspection may still be necessary.
10. How do I arrange a roof repair?
Contact Find My Roofer and explain the problem, where the property is located and what you have noticed. If possible, include photographs of the roof problem.
