Roof Repair Costs at a Glance

Guide ranges for the repairs we quote most often. Every roof is priced individually after a free inspection, and the written figure is fixed.

Repair	2026 guide price	Notes
Slipped or cracked tiles (1–5 tiles)	£150–£400	Includes matching tiles and checking the surrounding courses
Leak trace and repair	£150–£500	Finding the true entry point, then fixing the cause not the symptom
Lead flashing repair (chimney or abutment)	£200–£500	Dressed and renewed in proper lead, not sealant
Ridge tiles rebedded or refixed	£200–£600	Mechanically fixed to current standards where appropriate
Chimney repointing	£300–£800	Price depends on stack size and access
Valley repair or reline	£350–£900	Valleys carry the most water and rot timbers when they fail
Flat roof patch repair	£150–£450	Felt, EPDM and GRP; honest advice if the covering is past patching
Storm damage make-safe and repair	£150–£600	Documented with photos for your insurance claim
Fascia or gutter repair	£100–£350	See our fascias & soffits and guttering pages
Larger partial repairs (re-felt a section, multiple faults)	£750–£2,500	Where scaffolding is needed the quote says so plainly

Guide prices for 2026 assuming ladder or tower access. If a repair genuinely needs scaffolding we say so in the quote and price it openly. If repairs are stacking up year on year, compare the numbers against our new roof cost guide before spending again.

The honest bit

What Moves a Repair Price Up or Down

Four things decide where your repair lands within the ranges above:

Access. The single biggest factor. A repair reachable from a ladder or tower costs a fraction of one needing scaffolding. We never scaffold a job that does not need it.
Extent of the fault. One slipped tile is quick. Water that has been tracking along the felt for months can mean battens and timber need attention too, which only shows once we get up there.
Material matching. Common concrete tiles are easy to match. Handmade clay tiles and natural slate on period homes take sourcing, sometimes reclaimed, and cost a little more.
Urgency. A planned repair is priced normally. A 2am make-safe in a storm is a different job; we agree that price up front before attending, never after.

Every quote is written, fixed and free, and photographs of what we found come with it. That is how you know you are paying for the fault your roof actually has.

Spend once, not twice

When a Repair Is the Right Call, and When It Isn't

Repair when the fault is localised and the felt is sound: a few tiles, one flashing, a single ridge or valley problem. Done properly, that money is well spent and the roof carries on for years.

Stop repairing when the felt has perished, tiles are failing across every elevation or you are calling a roofer every winter. At that point each repair is buying months, not years, and the arithmetic tips towards replacement. A typical 3-bed semi re-roof runs £7,000 to £11,000 in concrete tile; three or four £600 repairs a year makes that conversation worth having.

We put the recommendation, either way, in a free written quote with photos. See the new roof cost guide for replacement prices, or the roof repairs service page for how we work.

FAQs

Roof Repair Cost Questions, Answered

How much does it cost to replace a few slipped tiles?

As a 2026 guide, refixing or replacing one to five slipped or cracked tiles costs £150 to £400, depending on access and whether we can match the tiles from stock. It is one of the cheapest repairs on a roof and one of the most worthwhile, because one slipped tile lets wind-driven rain straight onto the felt.

Do you charge a callout fee for roof repairs?

No. Inspections and written quotes are free with no obligation. For 24hr emergency callouts where water is actively coming in, we agree the make-safe price with you up front before we attend, then quote the permanent repair separately in writing.

Is it worth repairing an old roof or should I replace it?

If the fault is localised and the felt underneath is sound, a repair is nearly always worth it and a well-executed repair can keep a roof going for years. If the felt has perished or tiles are failing across the whole roof, repeated repairs become false economy. We tell you honestly which side of the line your roof sits, with photos.

Will a repair actually stop the leak for good?

Yes, provided the true cause is fixed rather than the symptom. Water rarely shows inside directly below the fault, so we trace it back to its entry point before quoting. Our repairs are covered by our company workmanship guarantee: if a repair we carried out does not hold, we come back and put it right.

Does insurance cover storm damage roof repairs?

Most buildings insurance policies cover storm damage. We make the roof safe first, photograph and document the damage properly for your insurer, and provide the written quote your claim needs. Check your policy excess: on small repairs it is sometimes cheaper to pay directly than to claim.

Why do roof repair prices vary so much between quotes?

Mainly access and honesty. A repair reachable from a ladder or tower costs far less than one needing scaffolding. Beyond that, a proper quote fixes the cause, uses matching materials and includes clearing up; a cheap quote often patches the symptom and leaves you paying twice. Always compare what is included, not just the number.
