Roof Repairs

Find the Leak First, Then Repair the Right Thing

Most Ranelagh roofs we repair are Victorian or Edwardian slate roofs on terraced houses, often with a rear return, a shared chimney stack and a valley or two where slopes meet. On a roof like that, the stain on the ceiling is rarely directly under the fault. Water runs along a rafter or down the felt before it shows.

So we start by tracing it back. From our base on Mountain View Road we can look at your roof from the street and the loft at a time that suits you, find where the water actually gets in, and repair that, whether it is a single slate, a cracked ridge or a tired piece of lead.

If the roof has reached the point where fixing one slate disturbs two more, we will tell you that plainly instead of quoting for repair after repair.

Roof Leak Repairs in Ranelagh

A leak on a terraced roof can come from a slipped slate, lead lifting at the party wall, a split valley or mortar washed out of the ridge. We check each of those above the stain before deciding on the repair, so you pay to fix the cause rather than the symptom. Leaks from a flat roof over a kitchen extension are covered on our Flat Roofing in Ranelagh page.

Lead Flashing & Valley Repairs

Lead closes the junctions on a period roof: valleys between slopes, flashings where the roof meets a wall, and the lead over bay windows. Where it has cracked, lifted or been patched with mastic, we replace it with new lead dressed to the junction and wedged into chases in the brickwork rather than stuck on with sealant.

Dry Ridge, Verge & Hip Repairs

When ridge mortar keeps cracking and ridge tiles start to rock, we can refix the ridge on a dry ridge system, with each tile screwed and clipped to a batten instead of relying on mortar. Sound ridge tiles are reused. Verges and hips can be fixed the same way.

Pricing

What Affects Your Roof Repair Quote?

We price every Ranelagh repair after seeing it.

Factor 01

Access to the Problem

A repair on a rear return reached by ladder needs less setting up than one high on the front slope of a terrace.

Factor 02

What Has Failed

Refixing a few slates is a small job, while renewing a valley or a run of lead takes more material and time.

Factor 03

Matching Materials

Older natural slates can take time to source, and matching reclaimed slate may cost more than new.

Factor 04

Hidden Damage

Rotten battens found once the area is opened up add to the work, and we tell you before carrying on.

FAQs

Your Roof Repair Questions Answered

Why does my ceiling stain not line up with the leak?

On slate roofs, water often runs along a rafter or down the felt before it shows, so the fault can be some way from the stain. We trace it back from above.

Is it worth repairing an old slate roof?

If the rest of the roof is sound, yes. A few slates, a ridge or a valley can be repaired for a fraction of a new roof. If slates are slipping everywhere, we will say so honestly.

Can you repair lead that someone has patched with sealant?

Yes. We take off the old patches and replace the failed lead properly, fixed into the brickwork.

How long does a typical repair take?

Many repairs, like refixing slates, are done in one visit. Valleys and longer runs of lead take longer, and anything needing scaffold adds set-up time.
