Roof Tile Repairs and Replacement

Speed matters when there is a problem with your roof. A single missing tile can let rain reach the underlay, battens and timbers, and the damage only spreads further down into the building if it is left. Getting roof tile repairs done quickly is almost always simpler and cheaper than dealing with damp ceilings later.

We keep top-quality tiles in a range of colours and styles, including concrete, clay and plain tiles. For any roof tile replacement we painstakingly match the new tiles to your existing ones, so your roof looks immaculate with its original pattern intact.

Common Causes of Tile Damage

  • High winds lifting or dislodging tiles during storms
  • Frost damage causing tiles to crack or flake
  • Corroded or failed nails letting tiles slip
  • Crumbling mortar on ridges and verges
  • Foot traffic from satellite or aerial installers

Regular Checks Save Money

Booking a roof check every few years, or after a severe storm, helps catch slipped tiles and cracked slates before they turn into leaks. A quick tiling & slating repair at that stage costs far less than replacing rotten battens or water-damaged plasterboard.

Slate Roof Repair

Natural slate is long-lasting and attractive, and it suits many of the period properties found across South London. Over time, though, the nails holding slates can rust through, causing slates to slip, and older slates can crack or delaminate.

Our slate roof repair work uses discreet fixings such as copper or stainless steel tingles to secure replacement slates without disturbing the rest of the roof. Where a slate roof has reached the end of its life, we can strip and re-slate it using quality natural or man-made slate to match the character of your home.

Our Tiling & Slating Process

  1. 1

    Inspection and Quote

    Every tiling & slating job starts with a careful inspection of your roof, from the ground, from ladders or from the loft as needed. You then receive a clear, no-obligation quote setting out the work, materials and timescale.

  2. 2

    Repair or Re-Roof

    For smaller tiling & slating repairs, we remove the damaged tiles or slates, check the underlay and battens beneath, and fit matched replacements. For larger jobs, we strip the roof, replace timbers and underlay where needed, and lay new tiles or slates with neat, weathertight detailing.

  3. 3

    Finishing and Photographs

    We clear away all debris and take photographs of the completed work so you can see exactly what has been done, even on parts of the roof you cannot easily view.

When a New Roof Makes More Sense

If tiles or slates are failing across the whole roof, or the underlay and timbers are badly deteriorated, repeated repairs can become a false economy. In that case we will talk you through our new roof installation service. If water is already coming in, our 24/7 emergency roof repairs team can make your property safe quickly.

Tiling & Slating FAQs

Can you replace just one or two tiles?

Yes. We regularly carry out small roof tile repairs, replacing individual slipped, cracked or missing tiles and matching them to the rest of your roof.

Will replacement tiles match my existing roof?

We keep a wide range of tiles and slates in different colours and styles, and we take great care to match size, profile and colour so repairs blend in.

How quickly should I fix a slipped slate?

As soon as possible. A gap in the roof lets water reach the timbers and ceilings beneath, so a prompt slate roof repair prevents more costly damage.

Is your tiling & slating work guaranteed?

Yes. All of our work comes with a ten-year guarantee for your peace of mind.

The work is always carried out to a high standard. They are cheerful, friendly and reliable and leave no mess. The recent job they did – to repair fascia on a flat roof extension was a less straightforward repair and they took time to plan the best action and use the most appropriate materials. We are very pleased with the result.
