Repairs done properly — first time.
A slipped tile, a mystery damp patch on the bedroom ceiling, a broken ridge after a windy night — small problems on a roof rarely stay small for long. We cover roof repairs of every size across Wisbech, King's Lynn and the surrounding villages, diagnosing the actual cause rather than papering over the symptom.
You'll get an honest answer on what needs doing, a clear price up front, and a tidy job when we leave. If a simple repair will see it right, we'll say so. If it's more involved, we'll talk you through it in plain English.

Got a leak?
Leaks are rarely where the water shows up inside. We take the time to trace the real source — a lifted flashing, a hairline tile crack, perished pointing on a chimney, a valley that's blown out — and fix that, not just the wet patch. Give us a ring and we'll get out to have a look.

Small problems, before they get expensive.
A prompt repair on a slipped tile, a lifted flashing or a bit of failed pointing is one of the best-value pieces of maintenance you can do. Left too long, the same problem soaks the loft, ruins insulation and damages ceilings.
Common repair issues we see
- Slipped, cracked or missing tiles and slates
- Ridge tiles that have blown off or worked loose
- Cracked or lifted lead flashings around chimneys
- Perished mortar joints on ridges, hips and chimneys
- Failed valleys causing leaks in heavy rain
- Blocked gutters overflowing back under the eaves
- Small tears or holes in flat roof coverings
Warning signs it needs attention
- Damp patches on upstairs ceilings after rain
- Water tracks visible on chimney breasts in the loft
- Bits of tile or mortar in the gutters
- Daylight visible through the roof from the loft
- Slates or tiles on the ground after high winds
- Musty smells or damp-feeling timber in the loft
Benefits of professional repair
A proper repair replaces the failed component with the right material, correctly fitted, using the technique the roof was designed for. That means no mastic bodges that trap water, no mismatched tiles that stand out on the front elevation, no shortcuts that come back to bite in a year or two. A good repair is completely invisible from ground level and lasts as long as the surrounding roof.
Materials we carry as standard
- Full range of concrete and clay tile profiles
- Natural and man-made slate for period property repairs
- Code 4 and Code 5 lead for all flashing repairs
- Ridge and hip fixings, dry ridge components
- Sand, cement and hydraulic lime for traditional pointing
- Flat roof patch and seam repair materials
Typical lifespan of a repair
A properly executed repair using matching materials should last as long as the rest of the roof — that is, decades. Occasionally a repair reveals a wider problem (widespread tile fatigue, perished felt) that no amount of patching will solve; in that case we'll be straight with you about the long-term options.
Maintenance advice
Twice a year — after autumn leaf fall and after winter storms — walk around the outside of the house and glance up at the roof. Look for anything obviously out of place, then check the loft for daylight or damp patches. A five-minute check catches almost every issue while it's still a small job.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can you fix a leaking roof quickly?+
Yes — leaks are one of the most common calls we get, especially after wet or windy weather. We aim to get out to leak jobs across Wisbech and King's Lynn as quickly as possible, take a proper look, and either make it safe on the day or come back with the right materials once we know what's causing it.
How do you find where a roof is leaking?+
Leaks rarely show up inside the house directly under where they start. Water tracks along timbers, felt laps and mortar joints before it finds a way through the ceiling. We check the roof from outside, inspect the loft space if we can, and trace the water path back to the actual entry point — a lifted flashing, a cracked tile, perished pointing on the chimney, or a blown-out valley.
How much do roof repairs cost?+
Small repairs — a few slipped tiles, a bit of pointing or re-bedding a ridge — are usually a modest fixed price. Larger repairs, chimney leadwork or extensive storm damage are priced individually after we've had a proper look. There's no charge for the initial assessment.
Do you repair storm damage?+
Yes, we handle a lot of storm and wind damage repairs across the Fens — missing tiles, ridge tiles blown off, damaged flashings and displaced lead. We can also provide photos and a written report if you need one for an insurance claim.
Is it worth repairing an old roof?+
It depends on the overall condition. If the felt and battens are still sound and it's an isolated problem, a targeted repair is often the best-value option. If the roof is showing lots of slipped tiles, sagging timbers or perished felt visible in the loft, we'll be straight with you that a re-roof is likely to be the smarter long-term investment.
Do you offer any guarantee on repairs?+
Yes — all of our repair work is guaranteed. If something we've fixed fails within the guarantee period through no fault of your own, we'll come back and put it right.
