Complete Repairs and Maintenance
Most roof problems start small: a slipped tile, a cracked piece of lead, a bit of loose mortar.
Caught early, they’re a straightforward repair. Left alone, they let the water in.
Steve carries out the full range of domestic roof repairs and maintenance in and around Retford.
Roof tiles: Cracked, slipped and missing tiles are repaired or replaced to keep the roof watertight.
Ridge tiles: Loose or weathered ridge tiles are replaced, and ridge conversions are carried out where needed.
Valleys: Cracked lead in a valley lets water straight in. Damaged valleys are repaired or replaced.
Chimneys: Repointing loose brickwork, renewing lead flashing and fitting cowls, the jobs that stop a chimney letting water into the house.
Gutters: Repairs that keep water running away from the roof and walls rather than into them.

Repairing and Maintaining Roofs
From survey to completion, Steve’s roof repairs and maintenance are second to none.
Common Roof Issues
Glance up at your roof and chimney now and then. If you notice anything different, you may catch a problem early, before it becomes a costlier repair. Early signs include:
Cracked or missing roof tiles
Fallen tiles or mortar on the ground
Loose brickwork on the chimney
Damaged or missing lead flashing around the chimney
Cracked lead on valleys
Loose or missing mortar on verge edges
Damaged roofing membrane from vermin getting in
Damp stains on ceilings or walls

Safety and Costs
Some small, easily accessible repairs can be approached safely, but more than 90% of roof work requires scaffolding to keep the public and tradesmen safe. Access to the property and the roof is a major factor in the price of a job.
Conservatories and narrow passageways to the rear of a property make it harder to get materials where they’re needed. Hip ridge runs need more scaffolding than a single straight run across the top of the roof, and high, hard-to-reach chimneys need more complex scaffolding again.
Steve starts with a ground-level external inspection using high-zoom photographic equipment and provides a free quotation. If the source of the problem cannot be identified from ground level, a chargeable drone inspection is available.
