Service overview

## Roof Repairs properly explained.
No jargon, no filler. Here's exactly what this service is, who benefits from it, and why we don't take shortcuts on it.

What it is

A roof repair addresses a localised failure: slipped or missing tiles, a leaking valley, a failed lead flashing, cracked cement ridge bedding, blocked or split gutters, damaged verges, or a failed skylight seal. The work is targeted, we don't quote for a re-roof when a repair will genuinely last another 15 years.

Who it's for

Homeowners who've spotted a dislodged tile after high winds, anyone with a ceiling stain or dripping loft, landlords managing tenanted properties remotely, and property buyers wanting a repair sign-off before completion.

When it's needed

You need a repair when you can see a slipped or missing tile, when the ceiling below is staining or dripping, when torrential rain reveals a leak, after high winds have moved ridge or verge tiles, or when a gutter is visibly split or sagging.

Why professional work matters

Roof repairs are where amateur and cut-price work costs the most in the long run. Sealant on a lead flashing lasts 18 months; the correct lead upgrade lasts 30 years. Mortar-bedded ridges crack and leak; dry-fixed ridges don't. The right repair costs slightly more once and never again.

What happens if it's ignored

## The cost of leaving it or getting it wrong.
The most expensive roofing decisions aren't the ones you make when you call us, they're the ones you make when you don't.

### Sealant instead of lead
Applying black mastic to a failed lead flashing looks like a fix. In practice, the sealant lets go by the second summer of UV, and you're chasing the same leak while the timber below rots quietly.

### Bedding a ridge in cement
Cement-bedded ridges were standard until 2015. They shrink, crack and let water into the ridge void. Current best practice is a dry-fix ridge system, no cement, mechanically fixed, guaranteed watertight.

### Ignoring the source of a leak
Water can travel two metres along a batten before it appears on a ceiling. Repairing the tile directly above the stain is often the wrong tile. Drone survey pinpoints the actual entry point.

### Leaving a slipped tile 'because it's not leaking'
A slipped tile exposes the underlay to UV, and one missing tile becomes three within a season. What was a £180 repair becomes a £600 patch of felt and battens.

Our process

## A repeatable system, from first call to sign-off.

01

Step 1

### Free Drone Inspection
We fly a drone across the entire roof, ridge, valleys, verges, flashings and gutter line, capturing high-resolution photography. No ladders leaning against your walls, no guesswork, no call-out fee.

02

Step 2

### Clear Diagnosis
We talk you through what the drone footage shows: the condition, the cause, and the work required to fix it properly rather than paper over it. A full written condition report is available as a separate paid drone survey.

03

Step 3

### Fixed, Itemised Quote
An itemised written quote, materials, labour, access, waste removal, VAT, with clear deposit terms. Domestic jobs under £2,000 need no deposit. Stage payments available on larger projects.

04

Step 4

### Clean, Guaranteed Execution
Lyndon and the four-man crew arrive on time, protect your driveway and garden, work to PASMA/IPAF safe-access standards, and leave the site clean each evening. All workmanship is guaranteed.

05

Step 5

### Final Sign-Off
Once the job is complete we walk the property with you, share drone photography of the finished work, and provide a workmanship guarantee in writing. Your invoice is emailed the same day.

Why Coventry chooses us

## Concrete benefits not vague reassurance.

### Cause diagnosed, not guessed
Drone photography shows you the exact tile, valley or flashing that's failed, no ladder-based guesswork, no wrong repairs.

### No call-out fee
Quotes and drone inspections are free. You never pay just to know what's wrong.

### Fair, honest recommendation
If a repair genuinely won't last, we'll tell you. If a re-roof is overkill, we'll say that too. Our reputation across 35+ verified Google reviews rests on it.

### Fast turnaround
Most repairs are booked within 1–2 weeks of quote acceptance; emergency work same-day where possible.

### Right-first-time repairs
We use the correct materials (lead, dry-fix, matching tiles), not sealant, cement or generic slate, so the fix lasts.

### Written guarantee
All repair workmanship is guaranteed in writing.

Deep detail

## Materials, methods &amp; where each applies.
The specifics that separate a roof built to last from one built to invoice. Read it or skim it, either way, it's the answer to "what actually goes on my roof?"

### Common repairs we handle
Slipped and cracked tiles or slates, missing ridge or hip tiles, cracked cement ridge bedding replaced with dry-fix systems, failed lead flashings at chimneys, side abutments and valleys, split GRP or lead valleys, damaged verges (mortar or dry-verge), leaking Velux and Fakro skylights, split and sagging guttering, blocked or displaced downpipes, moss removal and treatment, and bird- or squirrel-damaged eaves.

### Diagnostic methods
We start with drone photography of the entire roof, not just the reported area, because leaks routinely originate two, three or four metres from where they appear. Where necessary we follow up with a physical inspection via IPAF-operated MEWP or roof ladder. Every diagnosis is documented in writing with annotated photography.

### Repair vs replace decisions
If a repair will genuinely give another 10+ years' service, we repair. If the underlay is torn across multiple areas, tiles are consistently slipping across whole slopes, or you've had three or more repairs in five years, we'll flag re-roofing as the economical option, with numbers, not pressure.

### Residential and commercial
For homes: tile, slate, ridge, valley, flashing, gutter and skylight repairs. For commercial: profile sheet fixings, cracked GRP rooflights, gully liner replacement, blocked outlets, damaged flashings and gutter clearances. Both use the same drone-first diagnostic approach.

Straight answers

## Common questions before you call.
Can't find yours? Ring us on 024 7671 4341 and Lyndon or Georgina will pick up.

How much does a roof repair cost in Coventry?Small repairs (single slipped tile, minor mortar work) typically start around £180–£350. Ridge or verge repairs £400–£900. Valley or flashing repairs £600–£1,500 depending on lead work and access. Every repair is quoted in writing with no obligation.

How quickly can you repair a leaking roof?Genuine emergencies (active leak, missing ridge tile in storm), same-day where possible, otherwise next-day make-safe. Standard repairs are typically booked within 1–2 weeks of quote acceptance.

Do you charge a call-out fee?No. Drone surveys and quotes are free. The repair price is fixed in writing before we start; there is no separate call-out charge.

How long will a repair last?Correctly executed with the right materials, a repair lasts as long as the surrounding roof, 15–30+ years. Sealant-based bodges last 12–24 months; we don't do those.

Can you match old tiles or slates?Usually yes, we hold and source reclaimed clay tiles, Welsh slates and common concrete profiles. For rare tiles we photograph the pattern and source through our supplier network.

Do you repair Velux and skylights?Yes, reseals, flashing kit replacement, glazing swaps and full unit replacements for Velux, Fakro, Roto and Keylite.

Are the repairs guaranteed?Yes, all repair workmanship is guaranteed in writing.

How do I know if I need a repair or a full re-roof?The drone survey answers it definitively, you see the state of the whole roof, not just the reported problem. If repair is the right choice, we repair. If not, we'll tell you honestly, with figures on both options.

All Services 

### Emergency Roofing
Emergency roofing is any situation where the roof has failed enough to threaten the property inside, storm-lifted tiles, a blown-off ridge, a punctured flat roof, a lightning-struck chimney, or a leak actively running down a bedroom wall. The first job is make-safe: stop further damage, tarp, secure. The permanent repair follows once you're dry.

View service 

### Chimney Repairs
Chimney repair work covers everything above the roof line: brick repointing or rebuilds, replacement of cracked flaunching (the mortar cap around the pot), pot replacement, cowl fitting, lead flashing renewal, and where the stack is compromised, a full below-roofline rebuild. Each is a distinct fix, we identify which of them your chimney actually needs.

View service 

### Lead Work &amp; Lead Flashing
Lead work is the traditional, hand-formed metal detailing at every point on the roof where two surfaces meet, chimney stacks, side abutments to walls, valleys between roof slopes, box gutters, dormer cheeks and heads, parapet cappings, and window heads. Code 4, code 5 and code 6 lead sheet is cut, dressed and welded on site to create a watertight, 50+ year seal.
