Roof Repairs in Keyworth: Ridges, Verges and Leaking Tiles

We repair pitched roofs across Keyworth and nearby villages such as Ruddington and Cotgrave. Most repairs begin with finding the actual cause of a leak, which is not always where the stain appears on the ceiling. Because Keyworth is a spread-out village rather than a tight grid of terraces, roofs are often visible from the garden, and a few clear photographs from the ground can tell us a great deal before anyone climbs a ladder.

Common repairs on village houses and bungalows

Roof edges are often where problems begin, so a repair visit usually takes in the ridge, hips and verges as well as the main slopes. Replacement tiles are chosen to be compatible with what is already on the roof.

Bungalows have long, low slopes that are easy to see from the garden. Slipped or broken tiles often show up there first, and an early repair is usually a smaller job. Where the same area keeps failing, we say so rather than patching it repeatedly. Repairs are matched to the existing tiles or slates so the roof does not end up looking patched.

• Cracked, slipped or missing tiles and slates
• Loose ridge and hip tiles, with fixings or bedding renewed
• Lead flashings and valleys that have lifted or split
• Verge and barge board areas worn by exposure
• Storm damage, with temporary protection where needed, subject to availability

Deciding between a repair and something bigger

Some roofs only need a handful of tiles replaced. Others show widespread slipping or crumbling, and patching them again and again stops making sense. We will tell you plainly which situation your roof is in.

Photos of the damage and the surrounding roof help a lot. Call or WhatsApp Evans Roofing with a few pictures and we can talk through the repair and quote for it.
