Leaks • Slipped Tiles • Storm Damage
Looking for a roof repair in Guildford? We put right leaks, slipped and cracked tiles, failed flashing and storm damage across Guildford, Godalming, Cranleigh and Bramley - and we'll tell you straight whether a repair will do or whether it's something bigger.
Left alone, a small roof fault tends to grow - and the longer water gets in, the more it costs to put right. We come out quickly, find where the water is genuinely coming from, and give you a single clear price to fix it. No scare stories, no pressure.

A roof fault rarely stays small for long. It only takes a couple of slipped slates or a length of tired flashing to let water through, and once a stain shows on the ceiling the trouble above it has usually been building for a while. Catch it early and it is almost always the cheaper fix.
As roofers in Guildford, we come out and find the actual source, which is often nowhere near the damp patch itself. Water runs along battens, felt and timbers before it drips, so the mark on your ceiling can be well away from the real entry point. We trace it back to the true fault and fix that - not the symptom - so you are not phoning another roofer a month down the line.
Storm damage after a gale, a few slipped slates, worn lead around a chimney, or a leak you simply cannot find - we will sort it properly. And where a repair is genuinely all that is needed, that is what we quote. We will not dress a repair up as a new roof, and we will not load the bill with work your roof does not need.

Why choose us
Water travels. We trace the leak to where the water really gets in, instead of patching the spot where it shows and calling it done.
One clear price in writing before we lift a tile - nothing inflated, and no being rushed into a decision on the doorstep.
From period slate roofs to modern estate properties, we know the local roofs and the particular faults each tends to throw up. We look over the whole roof, not just the obvious bits.
We cover the full range of pitched and flat roof repairs for homes throughout Guildford and the surrounding area, including:
If water is coming in right now, deal with the inside first - move anything precious out of the way and get a bucket under it - then give us a ring. We will talk you through the sensible next step rather than steering you at the biggest possible job.
Frequently asked questions
If the trouble is in one spot - a few slipped slates, a bit of failed flashing, one persistent leak - a repair almost always covers it. Replacement makes more sense when the roof is genuinely worn out, has been patched over and over, or has problems in several places at once. We look first and then give you a straight answer on which one you actually need.
Yes - call as soon as you notice a leak. We will get out, find what is really behind it and explain the fix. Many small jobs are done the same day or within a day or two, though it always depends on the fault and the weather.
It varies with the age and type of property. Most leaks trace back to failed flashing, worn, slipped or nail-sick slates and tiles, and cracked or eroded pointing rather than the tiles alone. Guildford has a lot of Victorian and Edwardian housing in areas like Charlotteville and Onslow Village where the original slates, lead flashings and pointing are now well past their best, while newer homes carry their own wear from years of weather. We check the whole roof - flashings, fixings, leadwork and metalwork included - not just the tiles.
It comes down to what has failed, how easy the roof is to get at, and how much of the surrounding area is involved - a couple of slipped slates is a very different job from stripping and re-leading a valley. We give you a firm, itemised figure after we have actually seen the roof, not a guess over the phone.
Yes - both. From the flat roofs common on extensions, garages and dormers through to pitched slate and tiled roofs, we cover the lot.
