Roof Repairs in Orpington & Bromley

A slipped tile or a cracked flashing might look minor. But Kent weather finds every weakness. Left alone, water tracks into the roof timbers and soaks the insulation. It then shows up as staining on your ceilings, turning a quick fix into a costly repair.

We repair all pitched and flat roof faults. That means broken, slipped and missing tiles and slates, ridge and hip problems, valley and chimney flashings, felt and membrane splits, and storm damage. Every repair starts with a proper look at the cause, not just the symptom. Because tiles and flashings usually fail together on an older roof, we check the surrounding area rather than just replacing the one obvious tile.

A hidden leak can travel a surprising distance before it shows up as a stain. As a result, we trace the water back to its real source, rather than patching the first spot we find. That way the repair holds, instead of the same damp patch reappearing after the next heavy rain. Our guide to spotting a roof leak covers what to do while you wait for us.

Storm damage and slipped tiles are the most common calls we get across Orpington and Bromley, particularly after a spell of high wind or heavy rain. Specifically, we look at ridge tiles, flashings and valleys first, since these are usually where storm damage starts before it spreads to the rest of the roof.
