Fast, Reliable Roof Repairs That Stop Leaks for Good

Most standard repairs — cracked tiles, re-bedded ridge tiles, or a flashing replacement around a chimney — are completed within a single day. Larger jobs involving multiple sections of a roof, such as widespread re-pointing or valley relaying, may take two to three days. We always give you a realistic timeframe in the quote so you can plan accordingly. We don't rush repairs to get to the next job.

Yes. If you have an active leak causing water ingress into your home, contact us directly on our mobile number and we'll prioritise your callout. In most cases we can attend the same day or the following morning depending on location within the Burton upon Trent area. We carry a range of common materials on the van so that temporary fixes can be made immediately if a full repair needs to wait for parts.

A repair is usually the right option if the damage is isolated to specific sections, the underlying roof structure is sound, and the tiles or slates are broadly in good condition. Replacement becomes necessary when a large proportion of tiles are failing, the felt beneath is fully degraded, or the roof is approaching 40 to 50 years old. Our survey will give you an honest answer — we won't push a replacement if a repair will genuinely last you another ten to fifteen years.

In the majority of cases, yes. We carry a range of standard concrete interlocking tiles and can source natural slate and clay tiles to match most common profiles used on Burton upon Trent housing stock. On older properties where original tile profiles are discontinued, we have supplier contacts who specialise in reclaimed and period materials. We'll check the match before ordering and show you a sample if there's any uncertainty.

It depends on the cause of the damage. Storm damage — tiles lifted by high winds, flashing torn away — is typically covered under standard home insurance policies. Gradual wear and moss damage is usually classed as maintenance and won't be covered. We can provide a detailed damage report with photographs that sets out the cause clearly, which makes the insurance claims process significantly easier. We've supported many Burton homeowners through this process.

Yes. We work on all residential roof types common to the Burton upon Trent area — including the traditional pitched slate roofs found on Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Stapenhill and Winshill, the concrete tile roofs on post-war semis, and modern interlocking tile systems on newer estates. Each type has its own quirks in terms of materials and fixing methods and our team is experienced across all of them.

Our workmanship guarantee on roof repairs is five years as standard, issued in writing at job completion. This covers the specific areas we have worked on against defects in our workmanship or material failure. The guarantee is tied to 5 Star Home Improvement and is transferable if you sell your home during the guarantee period, which can be a useful selling point. Manufacturer guarantees on specific materials such as lead flashing products are additional to this.
