Berks & Hants Roofing carries out roof repairs across Berkshire, Hampshire and Wiltshire, including Reading, Newbury, Andover, Southampton and Swindon. We fix leaks, slipped and broken tiles, damaged flashing, and storm damage on both pitched and flat roofs, and we offer emergency/same-day callouts for urgent problems. All repairs are carried out by our own directly-employed roofers, with a free assessment and a written quote before any work begins.
Wind and weather are the most common causes of slipped, cracked or missing tiles. Left unrepaired, even one or two displaced tiles can let water into the roof structure, so this is usually a quick, affordable fix if caught early.
Leaks can come from several sources — damaged tiles, failed flashing, cracked mortar at ridges and verges, or a perished flat roof covering. We trace the source of the leak before quoting, rather than guessing, since the visible damp patch inside isn’t always directly above the actual entry point.
Flashing — the metal or lead detailing around chimneys, valleys and where a roof meets a wall — is one of the most common failure points on an otherwise sound roof. Repairing or renewing flashing is often a cost-effective fix compared with more extensive work.
Ridge and hip tiles are bedded in mortar, which can crack and fail over time, particularly after frost. Repointing or replacing these tiles prevents water ingress at the top of the roof.
Cracks, blisters, splits or ponding water on a flat roof can usually be repaired without replacing the whole covering, provided the deck underneath is still sound. See our dedicated Flat Roofing page for more detail on flat roof systems and lifespans.
Following high winds or heavy storms, we assess and repair dislodged tiles, damaged flashing, and debris damage, and can arrange temporary weatherproofing where needed to prevent further water ingress while a permanent repair is scheduled.
A leak should be treated as urgent if you notice any of the following:
In these cases, contact us straightaway — a small, cheap repair now is almost always less costly than the ceiling, insulation and timber damage that follows a few weeks of an ignored leak.
Call us or request a quote online, describing the problem (or send photos where safe to do so) so we can prioritise urgent cases.
We inspect the roof to identify the actual source of the problem, not just the visible symptom, before recommending a fix.
You receive a clear, written quote before any work goes ahead — no work starts without your agreement.
The repair is carried out by our own roofers, using materials matched to your existing roof covering wherever possible.
We check the repair holds and confirm the issue is resolved, with a guarantee on the work carried out.
A repair is usually the right call when damage is isolated to one area and the roof structure underneath is otherwise sound. A full replacement becomes more cost-effective when a roof needs repeated repairs to different areas within a short period, the covering is near or past the end of its expected lifespan, or the underlay and battens beneath the tiles have failed. We’ll always recommend a repair where it’s the genuinely better option — see our New Roofs page if a full re-roof does turn out to be the right fix.
Q: How much does it cost to repair a roof in the UK?
A: Most roof repairs cost between £150 and £2,500, depending on the type of fault. Slipped tiles are typically £150-£500, flashing repairs £200-£600, and flat roof patches £200-£1,000, with access and height being major factors in the final price.
Q: How quickly can you fix a roof leak?
A: We offer same-day callouts for urgent leaks and storm damage across Berkshire and Hampshire. For active leaks, placing a container underneath and moving valuables away from the area can limit damage until we arrive.
Q: Can a roof leak be repaired without replacing the whole roof?
A: Yes, in most cases. If the damage is localised — a cracked tile, failed flashing, or a small split in a flat roof covering — a targeted repair is usually possible without needing a full replacement, provided the structure underneath is sound.
Q: What should I do if I have an active roof leak?
A: Place a bucket or container under the leak, move any valuables or electrical items away from the affected area, and avoid walking directly beneath a sagging ceiling. Contact a roofer as soon as possible — delaying can allow water to damage timbers, insulation and plasterwork.
Q: Will my home insurance cover roof repairs?
A: This depends on your policy and the cause of the damage — storm and accidental damage are often covered, while general wear and tear usually isn’t. Check your policy wording, and we’re happy to provide a written report or quote to support an insurance claim.
Q: How do I know if I need a repair or a full new roof?
A: If the damage is isolated and the rest of the roof is sound, a repair is usually sufficient. A full replacement is generally the better option if the roof is near the end of its material’s lifespan, has needed several repairs in different areas recently, or the underlay beneath the tiles has failed.
