About roof repairs

Most roof problems start small. A tile slips after a windy night, a slate cracks, or mortar falls from a ridge line. Left alone, water gets into the felt and the battens, and then your ceilings. The roofers in our network handle the full range of pitched-roof repairs, since most problems fall into a few common types. They replace broken tiles and slates, rebed ridge and hip tiles, and fix leaking valleys and junctions. On older properties, they match materials carefully so the repair doesn't stand out. You describe the problem once. We then pass it to a local roofer who covers your postcode and works on your roof type.

How we help

Find Trusted Roofers is a national network that connects UK homeowners with local roofers. Since we are not a roofing contractor, we don't do the work ourselves. Instead, you tell us about your roof repairs job once. We then match you with a roofer in our network who covers your postcode and works on your roof type. Every roofer quotes from their own survey, and you deal directly with them and choose whether to proceed.

We check the roofers in our network against Companies House, and confirm public liability insurance. We also note any TrustMark, NFRC or CompetentRoofer membership. We verify what we can, although we don't guarantee the work itself. The work is always contracted directly between you and the roofer.

Roof Repairs — FAQs

How much do roof repairs cost in the UK?

Small repairs such as refitting a handful of slipped tiles typically run from £150–£400. Rebedding ridge tiles, valley repairs or larger patch repairs usually fall between £400–£1,200, depending on access and materials. Since prices vary so much with access and materials, a local roofer should always inspect before quoting a fixed price.

How do I know if my roof needs repairing?

Common signs are visibly slipped, cracked or missing tiles, and damp patches on upstairs ceilings after rain. Also watch for granules or mortar fragments in your gutters, and daylight visible in the loft. If you can see any of these, get it inspected before winter weather makes it worse.

Can a repair be done, or will I need a new roof?

If the problem is localised — a few tiles, one valley, a ridge line — a repair is almost always the right call. If the underlay has failed across large areas, or the same roof keeps failing in different places, a roofer may recommend re-roofing. They should show you photos explaining why.

Will the repair match my existing roof?

A good roofer matches tile or slate type, size and colour. They can often source reclaimed materials for older properties, so the repaired patch weathers in. Mention the age of your roof when you make your request.

Are roof repairs covered by home insurance?

Storm damage is usually covered; wear-and-tear is usually not. Insurers typically ask for photos and a report from the roofer, so ask for a written description of cause and repair when the work is done.
