FAQs
What types of roof repairs do you handle in Whitwell?
Our Whitwell roofing team is equipped to repair all common roof types, including pitched slate or tile roofs, flat felt or single-ply systems, metal roofs, and modern composite or rubber roofing. Whether you have a minor leak, storm damage, missing tiles, cracked flashing, or deteriorated flat-roof membrane, we provide targeted repairs that restore full weatherproofing.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency roof leak?
We offer a dedicated emergency call-out service for Whitwell homeowners. In most cases, we can be on site within 2–4 hours of your call, assess the issue, and implement a temporary fix to stop water ingress immediately. Permanent repairs are then scheduled at the earliest available slot, usually within 24–48 hours, subject to weather conditions and material availability.
Will my roof repair be covered by insurance?
Many roof repairs linked to sudden, accidental events—such as storm or impact damage—are covered by home insurance policies. We can help by providing a detailed written report, photographs, and an itemised quotation for your insurer. However, damage caused by age-related wear or lack of maintenance is typically excluded, so it is best to check your policy wording or speak with your insurer.
Do you offer a warranty on repair work?
Yes. All minor roof repairs come with a 12-month workmanship warranty, while larger sectional repairs (e.g., re-tiling, leadwork replacement, flat-roof overlay) carry warranties of 5–10 years depending on the materials used. Manufacturer warranties for membranes, tiles, or flashings will also apply where relevant.
How much will a typical roof repair in Whitwell cost?
Costs vary by roof type, access, and the extent of damage. Small repairs such as replacing a handful of tiles generally start from £150–£250. Flat-roof patching or lead flashing repairs range between £250 and £600. More extensive work like partial re-felt and re-battening, valley replacement, or chimney re-pointing can run from £800 up to £2,500. We always provide a free site inspection and fixed-price written quotation before any work begins.
Can I remain in my home while the repair is carried out?
Absolutely. Most roof repairs are external works with minimal disruption inside the property. Our team uses dust sheets and protective measures if attic access is required. We adhere to strict safety protocols, keep noise to a minimum, and remove all waste materials daily so you can stay comfortable and safe at home during the process.
