Roof repairs, leaks, ridges & hips

A wet patch on the ceiling, a slipped tile, a cracked ridge or hip — we find the real cause and fix it properly, not just patch the symptom.

Most roof leaks are small problems that turn into big ones if they are left. A single cracked tile, a failed flashing, a loose hip or a bit of perished mortar lets water in, and by the time it reaches your ceiling it has usually travelled some distance across the roof. Finding where it actually starts is the skill — and after 35 years on Bristol roofs, it is one we have well and truly learned.

We trace it, then we fix it

We get up on the roof, inspect it properly and show you what we find, photos and all. Then you get a clear price to put it right — whether that is one tile or a section of flashing. No scare tactics, and if a straightforward repair will genuinely do the job, that is exactly what we will recommend.

Ridge & hip repairs

Ridge and hip tiles take the full force of the weather, and once the bedding mortar cracks they start to lift, slip and let water track underneath. We re-bed and re-point ridges and hips — or dry-fix them for a longer-lasting, maintenance-free finish — so the top of your roof is sound again.

Common questions

How quickly can you come out for a leak?

For active leaks we prioritise a same-week visit wherever possible, and in storm season we do our best to get to urgent jobs sooner. Call Jan and we will fit you in.

My ridge tiles are slipping — can that be fixed?

Yes. Slipped or loose ridge and hip tiles are a common repair. We re-bed and re-point them, or dry-fix for a longer-lasting result that won't need redoing in a few years.
