Roof Repair Services We Carry Out
Roof Repointing
Broken, cracked or damaged mortar is a common entry point for moisture. Repointing removes and replaces damaged cement mortar in your roof tiles — our tradesmen are particularly skilled in this work.
Roof Leak Repairs
A leaky roof must be repaired quickly to prevent serious water damage to your property. Our team specialise in identifying and patching leaks fast, making permanent repairs that protect your home.
Lead Work Repairs
Lead is excellent for sealing roofs as it has a long lifespan and is extremely malleable. Our tradesmen have the skills to repair complex lead work safely and correctly.
Chimney Repairs
Extreme weather gradually deteriorates chimney materials, affecting structural integrity and appearance. Our tradesmen will ensure your chimney remains stable, safe and in good working order.
Cracked & Missing Tiles
Missing or broken tiles leave your property exposed to weather. We source matching tiles wherever possible and replace them correctly to restore your roof's protection.
Emergency Roof Repairs
Storm damage, sudden leaks or wind-blown tiles need urgent attention. We aim to respond to emergency roof repairs across London within 24 hours — call us now.

Common Problems We Fix
Slipped or broken tiles
Wind, age and foot traffic dislodge tiles, leaving the underlay and timbers exposed to rain. We refix or replace tiles and check the surrounding area for hidden damage.
Failed flashing
Worn lead or mortar flashing around chimneys, valleys and abutments is one of the most common causes of leaks. We renew flashing so the joint stays watertight.
Cracked or missing mortar
Crumbling pointing on ridges, hips and verges lets water in and tiles work loose. We rake out the old mortar and repoint with the correct mix.
Flat roof leaks
Splits, blisters and failed laps on felt, GRP or EPDM roofs allow water through. We trace the failure point and patch or re-cover as needed.
Blocked or sagging gutters
Overflowing gutters push water back under the roofline and down the walls. We clear, realign or replace guttering to protect the building.
Storm and emergency damage
After high winds we make roofs safe quickly, fitting temporary cover where needed before completing a permanent repair.

How Much Does It Cost?

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does roof repair cost in the UK?
Roof repair costs in the UK vary widely depending on the fault, the type of roof, access and the materials needed. Minor jobs such as replacing a few slipped tiles are relatively inexpensive, while leak tracing, flashing renewal or flat roof repairs cost more. City Building and Roofing Ltd provide a free written quote before any work starts, so you know the price in advance.
Can a roof leak be repaired without replacing the whole roof?
In most cases, yes. The majority of roof leaks come from a specific failure such as a slipped tile, cracked mortar or worn flashing, and can be fixed as a targeted repair. We only recommend a full replacement when a roof is genuinely at the end of its life, and we will always explain why.
What is the most common cause of a roof leak?
The most common causes are slipped or broken tiles, failed flashing around chimneys and valleys, and cracked mortar on ridges and verges. On flat roofs, splits and failed laps in the membrane are the usual culprit. A proper inspection identifies the true source rather than just treating the stain.
How do I know if my roof needs repairing?
Warning signs include damp patches or stains on ceilings, missing or slipped tiles, daylight in the loft, granules from felt collecting in gutters, and crumbling mortar around the chimney. If you notice any of these, a free inspection will tell you whether a repair or replacement is needed.
How quickly should I fix a leaking roof?
As soon as possible. Even a small leak lets water track along timbers and into plaster and insulation, causing damp, rot and costly damage long before a stain appears. Fixing a leak early almost always saves money. Call our London line on 020 7118 0095 or Surrey on 01932 950 995.
Can roof repairs be done in the rain?
Temporary repairs and emergency covering can be carried out in wet weather to stop further water getting in. Permanent repairs, particularly to flat roofs and bonded systems, usually need dry conditions to be done correctly. We make the roof safe first and complete the lasting repair when conditions allow.
Is roof repair covered by home insurance?
It depends on the cause. Sudden, accidental damage such as storm damage is often covered, while gradual wear and tear usually is not. We provide clear written reports and quotes that you can submit to your insurer, though we cannot guarantee the outcome of any claim.
Do roofers give guarantees?
Reputable roofers do. Every repair we carry out is covered by a written workmanship guarantee, and eligible works can be protected by an insurance-backed guarantee that remains valid even if the company ceases to trade. We confirm the guarantee in writing before work begins.
