- Most Coventry roof repairs are finished in one working day.
- The leak is rarely directly above the stain — water runs along battens and rafters before it drops.
- Flashing, valleys and chimney abutments cause more leaks than broken tiles do.
- A free inspection and a fixed written quote come before any work, always.
- Storm damage is prioritised: we aim to make a property watertight within 24 hours.
The work itself, in plain terms
Slipped & cracked tiles
Individual tiles and slates re-bedded or replaced, matched to what is already on the roof so the repair does not announce itself from the street.
Leak tracing & repair
We follow the water back to its entry point — often several feet uphill of the damp patch — rather than patching the nearest thing that looks wrong.
Flashing, valleys & abutments
Lead flashing, mortar fillets and valley linings renewed where the roof meets a wall, a chimney or another roof. This is where most persistent leaks actually start.
Chimney & leadwork repairs
Repointing, flaunching, new lead trays and flashings, so water stops tracking down the stack and into the bedroom ceiling.
Guttering & rainwater
Clearing, re-aligning, sealing or replacing gutters, downpipes and joints so water is carried away from the walls instead of soaking them.
Storm damage & emergency cover
Make-safe first — temporary covering, debris cleared, the property watertight — then a proper repair and the photographs your insurer will ask for.
Built around how you own the property
Homeowners
A leak found, explained and fixed once, with photographs of what was wrong and what it looks like now.
Landlords
One call, one accountable team, and a written report you can put in front of a tenant or a letting agent.
Commercial & retail
Work scheduled around trading hours, with the make-safe done first so you are not closed while you wait for a quote.
The jobs that start with a phone call
- 01
A brown ring on a bedroom ceiling that comes back every time it rains hard from the west.
- 02
Tiles in the garden after a storm — and no idea whether the roof underneath is now exposed.
- 03
Damp down one side of a chimney breast, which is flashing or flaunching far more often than it is rising damp.
- 04
Water running down an external wall because a gutter joint has split or a downpipe is blocked.
- 05
A repair done cheaply a year ago that has lifted again, because the mortar fillet was patched instead of being replaced with lead.
- 06
An insurer asking for evidence of storm damage that nobody photographed before the make-safe.
The roofs Coventry actually has actually has
Coventry's housing stock runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces through 1930s semis and large post-war estates to new-build — and each of those fails in its own way. The repair has to suit the roof it is going on.

- Concrete interlocking tile
- Flat roofing — EPDM, GRP & felt

What moves the price
Every roof repair is quoted after we have seen it, as a fixed written price. We do not quote roof repairs over the phone — the honest answer to "how much is a leak?" is that it depends entirely on where the water is getting in. What moves the price:
What is actually failing
A single slipped tile and a failed valley lining are the same symptom and very different jobs.
Access
Whether the work can be reached from a ladder or needs a tower or scaffold, and whether there is anywhere to put it.
Height and pitch
A steep three-storey terrace takes longer and needs more edge protection than a bungalow.
Materials to match
Reclaimed slate or a discontinued tile profile costs more than a current concrete tile.
How much is hidden
Battens and timbers that have been wet for years may need replacing once the covering is off.
Urgency
A make-safe visit in a storm is a separate call-out from the repair that follows it.

Speak to us today0786 5778332How quickly can you look at a roof leak in Coventry?
Usually within a day or two for a standard repair, and the same day where water is actively coming into the property. Storm damage and active leaks are prioritised over quoting work.
How much does a roof repair cost?
It depends on what is failing and how it is reached, so we quote after a free inspection rather than over the phone. You get a fixed written price with no hidden costs, and you decide in your own time.
Can you find a leak if the roof looks fine from the ground?
Yes — and most of the leaks we fix do look fine from the ground. Water enters at flashing, valleys, chimney abutments or a single cracked tile, then tracks several feet along battens before it drops, which is why the stain inside is rarely under the fault.
Will a repair be enough, or do I need a new roof?
Usually a repair. We will tell you plainly if a roof is past repairing — and equally, if it has years left and does not need replacing yet. We would rather do the small job honestly than sell you the big one.
Do you work on flat roofs as well as pitched?
Yes. Flat roof leaks are usually at an upstand, a joint or an outlet rather than in the middle of the field, and we repair EPDM, GRP and felt systems.
Can you provide evidence for an insurance claim?
Yes. We photograph storm damage before the make-safe and provide a written description of the damage and the repair, which is what insurers normally ask for.
