How do I know if my roof needs repairing?

Common signs that your roof may need repairing include leaks, damp patches on ceilings, missing or broken tiles, slipped slates, damaged flashing, sagging roof sections or visible storm damage. If you notice any of these issues, it's best to arrange a professional roof inspection before the problem becomes worse.

Can you repair all types of roofs?

Yes. We repair a wide range of roofing systems, including slate roofs, tiled roofs, flat roofs and many other roofing types found throughout Penzance and West Cornwall.

Do you provide emergency roof repairs?

Yes. We offer emergency roof repair services for properties that have suffered storm damage, severe leaks or other urgent roofing issues. Our priority is to make your property safe and prevent further damage before carrying out permanent repairs.

How quickly can you repair my roof?

This depends on the nature of the problem and the extent of the damage. Minor repairs can often be completed quickly, while more extensive repairs may require additional time. Following our inspection, we'll provide a clear timescale before work begins.

Will you inspect my roof before providing a quotation?

Absolutely. We always carry out a thorough inspection to assess the condition of your roof before recommending any work. This allows us to provide an accurate quotation and ensure the correct solution is recommended.

When should a roof be replaced instead of repaired?

If your roof has widespread damage, repeated leaks or has reached the end of its lifespan, replacing it may be more cost-effective than carrying out ongoing repairs. We'll always give honest advice and only recommend a replacement if we believe it offers the best long-term solution.

What roofing materials do you work with?

We work with a variety of roofing materials, including natural slate, concrete roof tiles, clay tiles and modern flat roofing systems. We'll recommend the most suitable material based on your property, budget and roofing requirements.

How long does a new roof last?

The lifespan of a new roof depends on the materials used, the quality of installation and ongoing maintenance. A professionally installed roof can often last several decades when properly cared for.

Do you install new roofs for extensions and garages?

Yes. We install new roofs for house extensions, garages, garden rooms, outbuildings, porches and many other residential structures, as well as complete roofs for new build properties.

Can flat roofs be repaired?

In many cases, yes. If the damage is localised, a flat roof can often be repaired successfully. If the roof has deteriorated significantly or has reached the end of its lifespan, a replacement may be the better long-term option.
