Roof Repairs in Cotgrave: Leaks, Tiles and Ridges
A neighbour having a roof fixed is often the first nudge people in Cotgrave get. Homes built around the same time tend to show the same wear at roughly the same point, so slipped tiles on one street are a fair hint to look at your own roof before a stain appears on the ceiling.
Evans Roofing Services, based in Beckingham, carries out roof repairs across Cotgrave and nearby villages. We look for the actual cause of a leak rather than guessing, whether that turns out to be a cracked tile, a worn flashing or a ridge that has lost its bedding, and we repair what needs repairing.
Common faults on post-war and newer roofs
Concrete tiles on later housing generally last well, but the mortar under ridge and hip tiles, the valleys, and the junctions around porches and bays are the weaker points. Those are the places water finds first.
Bungalows give you an easy view of the roof from the garden, so a quick look for gaps, tilted tiles or debris in the valleys after rough weather is worthwhile. Photos taken from the ground are often enough for us to give a first opinion.

- Ridge and hip tile repairs, including loose bedding and fixings
- Lead flashing and valley repairs
- Flat roof leaks on porches and extensions
After wind or heavy rain
If a storm has taken tiles off or water is coming in, we assess the damage and decide whether temporary protection or a permanent repair is the right first step, subject to availability. Acting early limits what the damp can reach in the loft and ceilings.
Call or WhatsApp Evans Roofing with photos of the damage and where the water is showing inside, and we will advise on what to do next and quote for the work.

Roof Repairs in Cotgrave: common questions
How do I know if a leak is from the tiles or something else?
Water can travel along timbers before it appears, so the stain is not always directly below the fault. Flashings, valleys, ridge bedding and gutters are all checked alongside the tiles themselves.
Is it worth repairing a bungalow roof or should I replace it?
A few isolated faults are usually repairable at a sensible scale. If the whole covering is brittle or failing in many places, a new roof can be the better route, and an inspection will help you decide which applies.
