Do you need to strip the whole roof if some tiles have slipped?

Not usually. If the battens on that slope are sound the tiles are refixed. A slope is only stripped and re-battened when the survey shows the battens have rotted, and you see that before it is priced.

Can the flat roof on my garage be done on its own?

Yes. A garage or extension roof is a job on its own, repaired or re-covered without touching the main roof.

Do you work on dormers that someone else built?

Yes. Most dormer leaks are at the cheeks or the flashing, whoever built it, and they are put right the same way.

Yes. The survey and the price are free, and there is no obligation.

The work

How a Dundrum roof is put right.

On a tile roof the question is usually the battens, not the tiles. If tiles are sliding out of one slope, the survey checks whether the battens on that slope are sound. Where they are, the tiles are refixed. Where they have rotted, that slope is stripped, new breathable membrane and battens go on, and the tiles go back. You are shown what is found before anything extra is priced.

The flat roof over a garage or kitchen is often the first thing to leak. If the deck is dry it can be repaired; if it is wet, it gets a new covering laid with a proper fall to the outlet, in torch-on felt or fibreglass.

Flat roof: repair or replace?

Dormers, roof windows and chimneys

A stain on the ceiling of an attic room usually traces back to a dormer cheek or the flashing around a roof window, and the flashing is renewed and dressed into the tile. On a gable chimney the mortar is raked out and repointed, the capping renewed, and the lead where the stack meets the roof replaced if it has lifted.
