The work

Roof Repairs for Richmond homes

Richmond is a short run for us, so a look at a roof repairs job here is a visit rather than a day of travel priced into the quote. We work across TW9 and out into Kew, Twickenham, Petersham, Ham, Barnes.

Water rarely enters a roof directly above the damp patch. It runs down a rafter, along a batten or behind a flashing and shows up somewhere else entirely. That is why we look at the roof itself, and inside the loft where we can, before pricing anything.

Most of the repairs we carry out come down to a short list: slipped or cracked tiles, corroded nails, a failed chimney flashing, a split valley, cracked mortar on the ridge, or a gutter that has been overflowing back into the brickwork for a year.

What's included

What roof repairs covers

  • Leak tracing

    A look at the roof and, where we can get to it, the loft, so the source is identified rather than guessed.

  • Tile and slate repairs

    Slipped, cracked and missing units replaced and properly fixed.

  • Flashing repairs

    Chimney, abutment and valley details re-dressed in lead where they have failed.

  • Ridge and verge

    Loose mortar removed and the line refitted, dry fixed where suitable.

  • Storm damage

    Wind-lifted tiles, displaced ridge and damaged flashings made safe and repaired.

  • Gutter faults

    Blockages, falls and joints put right where the leak is coming from the roofline rather than the roof.

The process

How a roof repairs job runs in Richmond

  1. Step 01

    Call and describe it

    Where the damp is, when it appears, and how long it has been happening tells us a lot before we arrive.

  2. Step 02

    Inspect

    We get up to the roof and look at the detail, then photograph what we find.

  3. Step 03

    Quote the repair

    A price for the fault, with a clear note if the roof is genuinely near the end of its life.

  4. Step 04

    Fix and confirm

    The repair is carried out and photographed, so you can see the finished detail.

The price

Roof Repairs costs

What roof repairs costs comes down to what you actually have, not a price list. Two jobs that sound identical can be an hour of work or a week of it, which is why we do not price roofing over the phone. We come and look, then put a figure in writing.

  • What has actually failed, and how much of it.
  • Access, and whether the work can be done from a tower or needs scaffold.
  • Whether the materials are still a current product.

Questions

Roof Repairs in Richmond: common questions

Still not sure? Ring and ask. It is usually quicker than typing it out, and you will speak to the person who would do the work.

020 3128 7579[email protected]

Can you tell me the cost over the phone?

Not honestly, no. Two leaks that look identical from the ceiling can be a twenty-minute tile swap or a full chimney flashing. We would rather look at it and give you a real figure.

My ceiling is stained but the roof looks fine from the ground.

That is normal. Flashings, valleys and mortar joints are the usual culprits and none of them are visible from the pavement. It takes getting up there to see.

Will a repair be enough, or am I going to need a new roof?

It depends on whether the roof is failing in one place or everywhere. Isolated faults are worth repairing. Widespread nail failure or battens that have gone soft across the whole roof is when a re-roof becomes the sensible spend, and we will show you why.

How quickly can you come out?

Ring and we will tell you honestly where you are in the diary. An active leak comes before a routine job, and if we cannot get to you quickly we would rather say so than leave you waiting on a maybe.

Will you find the leak in one visit?

Usually. Water travels, so occasionally a leak only shows in particular wind and rain and needs a second look or a hose test to pin down. We will tell you if that is the case rather than guess at it.
