Repair or Replace? What You Need to Know
One of the most common questions we get is whether a roof can be repaired or needs replacing.
Here’s how to tell.
Roof Repair Guide ( UK)
When a Roof Repair Is Enough
Repairs are usually suitable if:
Only a small area is damaged
You have a minor leak
The rest of the roof is in good condition
Common repairs include:
Replacing broken or slipped tiles
Fixing leaks
Repairing flashing
👉 Repairs are quicker and more cost-effective when issues are caught early
When You May Need a New Roof
A full replacement may be needed if:
The roof is over 40-60 years old
There are multiple leaks
Damage is widespread
Repairs are becoming frequent
👉 In many cases, repeated repairs cost more over time than replacing the roof
Typical Costs (Guide Only)
Minor repairs: £100–£500
Larger repairs: £500–£2,000+
New roof: varies depending on size and materials

What Client Our Says About Us
Great roofer with excellent customer care!
jason did a fantastic job replacing a leaking flat roof, replacing broken tiles and lead flashings. As it was quite windy and wet on the first night, Jason drove out just to make sure our roof lights were secure and everything was battened down properly. Second day , the job was completed to an excellent standard and all working around a wet and windy couple of days to make sure we were leak free. Its rare to come across such professional tradesmen that genuinely cares for his customers. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Thanks for your great care and professionalism.
