Roof Repairs in Newcastle.

Leaks, slipped slates, cracked tiles, storm damage and all repair works. We come out, find what's actually causing the problem and fix it properly — with fast call-outs for emergency roof repairs across Gosforth, Newcastle and North Tyneside.

Finding what's actually leaking

A wet patch on a bedroom ceiling is almost never directly under the hole. Water tracks along battens and rafters before it drops, so the damage shows up feet away from the entry point. That's why we get up on the roof and in the loft rather than pricing a repair off a photo — fixing the wrong thing costs you twice.

Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
Failed or missing lead flashings around chimneys and abutments
Cracked ridge and verge mortar washing out
Perished felt at the eaves letting wind-driven rain in
Blocked or split valleys backing water up under the covering
Storm damage and impact damage

How a repair works

Call us and we'll arrange a visit, usually within a couple of days and sooner if water is actively coming in. We diagnose the cause, quote a fixed price and, on most jobs, carry out the repair on the same visit. If the roof is past repairing we'll say so and price a re-roof instead rather than take your money for another patch.

Call out arranged — same or next day for active leaks
Roof and loft both inspected to trace the actual path of the water
Cause explained and a fixed price given before any work starts
Repair carried out, usually on the same visit
Temporary make-safe if materials or weather mean a return trip
Area left clean and the work guaranteed

What repairs cost

Small repairs — a few slates, a length of ridge, a flashing — are a fixed-price call-out and cheaper than most people expect. What pushes the price up is access: a repair at height or over a conservatory needs scaffold, and that's usually the biggest line on the quote.

How quickly can you come out?

For an active leak we'll aim for same or next day. For non-urgent repairs it's usually within the week. Ring the mobile rather than emailing if water is coming in — 07777 145 715.

How much does a roof repair cost?

Small repairs are a fixed-price call-out and less than most people expect. The variable is access: if the repair needs scaffold, that's normally the largest part of the bill. You'll have the full figure in writing before we start.

Will you just patch it to get paid?

No. If the roof is beyond economic repair we'll tell you and price a re-roof instead. Patching a roof that needs replacing wastes your money and our time.

Can you repair in the rain?

We can make a roof safe in almost any weather with a temporary covering. Permanent repairs — anything involving mortar, felt or torch-on — need dry conditions to bond properly, so those get booked for the next dry window.
