Roof Repairs
Benefits of Repairing Your Roof
If you have a flat roof, repairs can cost anywhere from £500-£2000 depending on how severe the damage is; if done correctly, it should last around 20 years before needing another repair. It may seem more expensive than replacement initially, but this work will start saving money almost immediately as there won’t be water seeping through these areas anymore!
When is Roof Repair Not the Best Option?
Replacing roofs are usually carried out when they begin leaking, are over 15 years old or when the roof is suffering from severe damage. If your roof is still working well and you have minor repairs to do, it’s usually best not to go ahead with a replacement so soon as this can be costly in terms of money and time – especially if there are only minor problems!
Types of Roof Repairs
Water damage
When water seeps through the roof and gets into your house, this is a severe problem that needs to be fixed as soon as possible. We can repair any water damage on both flat roofs and pitched roofs
Fire damage
If there has been a fire or flames that have hit specific areas of your roof, Surefit knows what they are doing when it comes to repairing the place where the fire started so you don’t have to worry about anything else.
Wind damage
We provide all kinds of roof repair services, including wind damage that can potentially lead to your home being damaged.
Snowfall damage
When it snows, roofs get covered in snow which puts pressure on the structure and components of a roof. We will fix any problems caused by excess weight from heavy snowfall as soon as possible, so you don’t have to worry about anything else.
Blocked gutters and downpipes
We offer guttering installation for those who need their entire system replaced or just certain sections repaired/replaced because they are not working correctly anymore. The same goes with downpipes – We will take care of blocked pipes too!

Roof tiling installation
When there are missing slates of tiles after high winds, fire damage or other things cause some roofing components to go missing.

Chimney re-pointing
This is something that we can do to help with your chimney’s structural integrity. If you notice any cracks or holes in the brickwork of this area, then it may need re-pointing so it can last longer and look great too!
Missing slates or tiles
The high winds, fire damage or other things cause some roofing components to go missing. This is not always easy to spot, so if you notice any discoloration in your ceilings or walls somewhere near where the roof ends then, please let us know as soon as possible so our expert team can solve the problem.
Damaged slates or tiles
If you notice any cracks or holes in your roof tiles, it needs to be fixed as soon as possible.
Corroded metal roofing sheets (steel, aluminium or zinc)
Rust is a powerful acid that eats away at metal. If it’s not repaired in time, then the rust will eat through your roofing sheet and expose the insulation material underneath, which can cause severe problems for you, including health issues!
Fascias and soffits replacement
When water gets under these components of your home, they swell up or rot because they are made from wood. This is an easy problem to spot, but if left untreated, then it can lead to costly damage downstream, too – think about all those ceilings getting wet!

If your gutters, fascias, or downpipes are blocked or damaged, they can lead to leaks that cause water damage. We offer a free inspection with every job we do, and if there is any damage, then our team of professionals will fix it for you without delay.

What causes a roof to wear out?
