Most roof problems start small — a slipped tile, a cracked ridge, a gap in the flashing — and become expensive once water gets in and stays in. We find what is actually letting the water through and repair it properly, on houses, flats, rental property and commercial buildings across Dorset and the South.
Emergency and urgent roof repairs
If water is coming through a ceiling, tiles have come off in a storm, or part of the roof looks unsafe, tell us it is urgent when you send the form. The first job is stopping further damage: making the roof safe and watertight with temporary cover or a holding repair. Once the weather allows, we look at the roof properly and quote for the permanent fix, so you are not pushed into a big decision in the middle of a downpour.
Outside our working hours, send the form and we will call you back on the next working day.

Repair or replace?
We look before we price, and if a repair will genuinely see the roof right for years, that is what we will quote for. If the battens, membrane or timbers underneath have failed, patching the tiles on top only postpones the problem — and we will tell you that too, with the reasons, so the decision is yours.
For landlords, agents and commercial property
Much of our work is for landlords and managing agents who need a roof sorted at a property they do not live in. We can arrange access with tenants directly, keep you posted through the job, and send photographs once it is done.

Frequently asked questions
Do you do emergency roof repairs?
Yes, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. If your roof is leaking or has been damaged in a storm, send the form, tell us it is urgent, and we will call you back. The first job is making it safe and stopping more water getting in; the permanent repair follows once we have looked at it properly. Outside those hours, send the form and we will call you back on the next working day.
How much does a roof repair cost?
It depends on what has failed, how much of it, and what access is needed to reach it safely. A few slipped tiles is a small job; a failed valley or flashing is a bigger one. We look before we price, so the figure we give you is for the repair the roof actually needs.
Can my roof be repaired, or does it need replacing?
Usually it comes down to what is under the tiles — the battens, membrane and timbers. If they are sound, a repair is normally the right answer and we will quote for it. If they have failed, we will explain why a repair would not last.
Will my insurance cover storm damage?
Storm damage is often covered by buildings insurance; general wear and tear usually is not. Check your policy, and photograph the damage from the ground or indoors — never by going on the roof — before anything is moved. We can give you photographs of the damage and the repair for your claim.
Can you match my existing tiles or slates?
In most cases, yes. We match like for like wherever we can, including reclaimed tiles for older roofs. Where an exact match is no longer made, we will show you the closest options before fitting anything.
Do you repair flat roofs?
Yes — felt, EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass, on extensions, garages, dormers and commercial units. Flat roofs usually fail at the edges, joints and outlets rather than in the middle, so that is where we look first.
Which areas do you cover?
Dorset and the surrounding South, including Blandford Forum, Shaftesbury, Bournemouth, Poole, Salisbury, Dorchester, Weymouth, Wareham, Gillingham.
