Roof Repair Services in Saxilby

A closer look at how we put each of these problems right in Saxilby:

Tile and Slate Repairs

Saxilby's older houses near the Fossdyke have Welsh slate and clay pantiles, and most of the newer homes are concrete tile. We match the material and profile, using reclaimed slate or pantiles on period roofs so the repair blends in.

Leak Tracing and Repair

In a damp, low-lying spot, what looks like a leak is sometimes condensation in the loft, and sometimes a real fault at a valley or chimney. We work out which it is before recommending anything.

Flashing Repairs

Chimney stacks on Saxilby's older brick houses often have lead that's split or slipped after years of weather. We renew flashings and soakers so water runs away from the stack.

Ridge and Hip Re-pointing

Wind across the flat land around the village works ridge and hip mortar loose over time. We rake out the old bedding and re-bed the tiles so they're secure again.

Moss and Debris Removal

Damp air near the water means moss grows quickly on shaded Saxilby roofs, blocking gutters and creeping under the tile edges. We clear it as part of the repair and make sure the water can get away.

How it works

How Our Roof Repairs in Saxilby Works

Near the water, damp isn't always a leak, so here's how we look into a repair in Saxilby:

  1. 1

    Inspect

    We look at the roof and inside the loft, checking whether the damp is coming from a fault outside or condensation inside.

  2. 2

    Quote

    We explain what we've found and give you a free, written quote, with no pressure to go ahead.

  3. 3

    Repair

    We fix the fault with matching slate or tiles, renew any tired flashings and improve ventilation where it's part of the problem.

  4. 4

    Check

    When the repair is finished we check it's sound, clear moss and debris from the gutters and leave everything clean.

FAQs about Roof Repairs in Saxilby

Can you find where my Saxilby roof is leaking?

A leak often shows up on the ceiling well away from where the water actually gets in, so we trace it back to source rather than just patching the nearest spot.

There's black mould on my Saxilby loft timbers. Is the roof leaking?

Not necessarily. Mould spread across the underside of the roof is usually a sign of condensation, which is common in damp, low-lying spots and in lofts with poor ventilation. A leak tends to leave a stain or wet patch in one place. We'll check both and tell you which it is.

Can you fix a valley that keeps leaking on my Saxilby house?

Yes. Valleys carry a lot of water, and if the lead has split or the valley is blocked with moss and leaves it will overflow into the roof. We'll clear and check it, and renew the lead or valley liner if it's past repair.

Do you offer a guarantee on repairs?

We stand behind our work. Talk to us about the specific job in Saxilby and we'll explain what's covered before we start.

How soon can you look at my roof?

For general repairs we'll book you in as soon as we reasonably can. If water is actively getting into the property, tell us when you call and we'll prioritise it.

Is the quote free?

Yes. We'll find the cause, explain it clearly, and give you a free written quote for the repair before any work starts.
