FAQs
How quickly can Pinpoint Repairs respond to an emergency roof leak in Birchwood?
In most situations we can have a technician on-site the same day you call, and always within 24 hours for properties located in the Birchwood area. Because our crews and materials are based locally, we do not lose time travelling from other towns. When you phone our 24/7 helpline we gather basic information, dispatch the nearest roof specialist and arrive with temporary patching materials so we can halt water intrusion immediately, even if a full repair has to be completed later.
What roofing materials and systems do you repair?
Our team is trained and equipped to work on virtually every residential and light-commercial roofing system found in Birchwood, including concrete and clay tiles, natural and composite slate, plain and interlocking concrete tiles, fibre-cement sheets, EPDM single-ply membranes, GRP/fibreglass roofs, traditional built-up felt, lead flashings and uPVC roofline components. If you are unsure about your particular roof covering, send us a quick photo or book a free inspection and we will confirm whether a pinpoint repair is feasible.
Will a pinpoint repair extend the life of my roof or will I still need a full replacement soon?
A properly executed pinpoint repair is designed to address the specific weakness that is allowing water in—cracked tiles, split felt, failed flashing, loose ridge, etc.—and to do so with compatible materials that integrate seamlessly with the surrounding roof. For the majority of roofs under 25–30 years old, this targeted approach can add 5–10 years of service life, postponing the considerable expense of a full reroof. During our inspection we will always give an honest assessment: if the roof structure or large areas of covering have widespread failure, we will recommend replacement instead of repeated patching.
How do you locate hidden leaks that aren’t visible from the outside?
Pinpoint Repairs uses a combination of thermal imaging, moisture-mapping meters, endoscopic cameras and, where appropriate, controlled water testing to trace the exact path of moisture migration. We start inside the loft to identify damp timbers, then trace back to the roof covering. On flat roofs we may use electronic leak detection or smoke pencils. This technology allows us to open up only the defective area rather than removing large, intact sections of roof, saving you time and money.
Are your repairs backed by a warranty?
Yes. All small-scale repairs come with a minimum 12-month workmanship guarantee. Larger sectional repairs that involve new membranes, lead work or tile courses are covered for 2–5 years depending on the materials used. Manufacturer warranties on replacement components—such as single-ply membranes or GRP resins—are passed on in full and can extend up to 20 years. Warranty certificates are issued in writing after payment and are fully transferable to new homeowners, adding value if you decide to sell your property.
How much does a typical roof repair cost in Birchwood and what factors influence the price?
Minor repairs, such as replacing a handful of broken tiles or resealing a single flashing, generally fall between £120 and £250 including labour and materials. Moderate repairs—small flat-roof patches, ridge-tile repointing or valley replacements—range from £300 to £650. More complex projects that involve scaffolding, extensive lead work or structural timber replacement can exceed £1,000. The main cost variables are access requirements (scaffold vs. ladder), size of the defective area, type of roofing material needed, and whether wet rot or insulation damage is discovered once the roof is opened. We provide a fixed written quotation after inspection, so there are no surprises.
