Overview

Specialist Roof Repair Services

The focus at the start of all of our jobs is detecting the source of the problem. We do not want to put a plaster on the issue, we want to make sure it doesn't come back. For example, the source of water damage is not always noticeable straight away, it will often travel through a roof before it becomes visible.

This is why our professional roofers always carry out detailed inspections on properties before any works begin. They want to make sure they have fixed the issue entirely rather than providing a temporary solution.

Our team work on all different types of roofing systems:

Tiled roofs
Slate roofs
Flat roofs
Garage roofs
Extension roofs
Conservatory roofs
Chimney flashing
Leadwork and ridge tiles

Common Issue

Leaky Roof Repairs

A leaky roof is a very common problem we are called out for. Even just a small leak in the roof can later go on to cause damp patches, mould, damaged ceilings and rotting timber if it is left untreated.

Here are some signs to look for:

Water stains on ceilings
Damp loft insulation
Dripping water during rain
Peeling paint or wallpaper
Musty smells in upstairs rooms
Missing or broken roof tiles

Our team will inspect the roof thoroughly and pin down exactly all locations where the water is entering. At this point they will then proceed to repair the roof in such a way that the issue does not reoccur.

We are thorough with our work and want to give you the best and most long-lasting result possible. This is why we only use high quality materials that can handle wet, windy and stormy weather conditions. We want to provide repairs that solve the issue long term rather than leading to repeat issues later down the line.

Flat Roof Repairs

Flat roofs, more than other types of roofing, are subject to more water exposure. Water tends to build up on their surfaces during rainy weather conditions which over time causes issues such as blistering and splits.

We carry out flat roof repairs on:

Garages
Extensions
Dormers
Garden rooms
Commercial buildings

If most of the roof has been subjected to lots of wear over time it may actually be cost effective to get a full roof replacement. In any case, we will thoroughly examine the property and advise you what your best option is going forward.

Prevention

Roof Maintenance in Harlow

Preventative maintenance is a fantastic way of extending the lifespan of a roof and reducing the chance of facing a very costly repair bill later down the road. Issues tend to start out small, but over time become larger and larger and consequently more expensive to fix.

Our services for roof maintenance in Harlow include inspections and various repair work that is designed to keep roofs in perfect working condition all year round.

Maintenance work involves:

Replacing cracked or slipped tiles
Checking flashing and leadwork
Clearing blocked gutters
Inspecting ridge tiles
Repairing minor flat roof damage
Identifying signs of leaks or damp
Root Causes

Common Causes of Damage

The nature of the British weather creates lots of issues with wear and tear over time. Due to the typical wet and windy conditions we experience for much of the year, roofs that are aging or have not been built with very durable materials will experience issues.

Storms and strong winds
Ageing roofing materials
Poor previous workmanship
Blocked gutters causing water overflow
Cracked flashing around chimneys
Moss growth trapping moisture
Falling branches and debris

Regular inspections can help spot these problems before they become more expensive to fix.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my roof leak in heavy rain?

This is a sign that you have a damaged roofing system. This could be caused by cracked tiles, damaged flashing, loose tiles or simply worn roof material. A proper inspection is encouraged before any repair work because water does not always enter directly above the visible damp patch. Often water will travel through the roof space before showing on ceilings or walls meaning that fixing the area around the damp patch will not solve the problem. It is highly recommended to have an expert roofer view the site to determine where the source of the issue is.

Who is the best person to fix a leaking roof?

A qualified roofing contractor is your best bet. Roof leaks can have several different causes and you need to be sure that the issue has been identified and fixed at its source to avoid future repairs. An experienced roofer will be able to identify and treat the problem fully.

Do I need planning permission to repair a roof?

This is very rare. The only occasions this can be the case is when the roofing work drastically alters the height or the appearance of the roof.

Do you offer emergency call outs?

Yes, we are conveniently based in Kenrich Business Park meaning we can come out to residents and business owners' property quickly for issues that cannot wait.

Do I need a roof repair or a roof replacement?

This depends on how localised the damage to the roof is. If most of the roofing system is fine but there are limited issues in one area of the roof then a repair job would likely be enough. However it is when the issues are widespread or there are several issues at different points of the roof where a full replacement starts to make more sense.
