Discuss Your Roof Explore Roof RepairsNeed a roof repair or wider roofing work?
Tell us about the property, visible defect, roof type, London location and whether the roofing works form part of a larger refurbishment or construction project.
Understand the defect before deciding the repair
A visible leak inside a building does not always mean the defect is directly above it. The roofing construction and surrounding details need to be considered together.

Repair roofing defects before they affect more of the building
Roof defects can allow water into roof spaces, ceilings, walls and surrounding building fabric if they are left unresolved.
Common repair requirements can involve damaged tiles or slates, roof junctions, flashing, flat roof coverings, roofline details and other localised defects.
Crestane Construction can coordinate suitable roof repair projects across London and can also include roofing within larger residential or commercial construction works.
Where the existing roof requires more than a localised repair, the project can be considered as a wider roofing refurbishment package.
Suitable roof repair and refurbishment works
The correct scope depends on the existing roof construction, location of the defect and condition of the surrounding materials.
Roof Leak Repairs
Investigate suitable visible roofing defects associated with water ingress and coordinate appropriate repair works.
Tile Repairs
Repair or replace suitable damaged, slipped or missing roof tiles within the repair scope.
Slate Repairs
Suitable repair and replacement work to damaged or displaced slate roof coverings.
Flashing Repairs
Suitable repairs around roof junctions, abutments and other flashing details where required.
Flat Roof Repairs
Suitable localised repair and refurbishment works to existing flat roof areas.
Pitched Roof Repairs
Repair suitable defects affecting pitched roofing and associated roof components.
Roofline Works
Coordinate suitable repairs to associated roofline elements where included in the project.
Roof Refurbishment
Suitable broader roofing works where the existing roof requires more than an isolated repair.
Roofing Within Construction Projects
Coordinate suitable roofing with extensions, refurbishment and larger multi-trade construction projects.
Fix the cause, not only the visible internal damage
Water can travel through roof construction before becoming visible inside a property.
Internal staining therefore does not automatically identify the exact external defect.
Suitable roofing works should consider the roof covering, junctions, penetrations and surrounding building fabric relevant to the problem.
Water ingress can originate away from the visible stain
Water entering through a roof can follow roofing layers, timbers and other building elements before appearing on an internal ceiling or wall.
Suitable repair therefore involves considering the relevant external roof details rather than simply treating the internal water mark.
The repair scope can range from localised roofing work to a more substantial refurbishment where surrounding roof areas have deteriorated.
Crestane can also coordinate suitable internal making good where this forms part of a wider refurbishment package.
What can a roof repair project include?
Review the reported roofing defect and property information.
Consider the relevant pitched or flat roof construction.
Coordinate suitable access arrangements where required.
Replace suitable damaged or missing roof tiles.
Complete suitable repairs to defective slate areas.
Repair suitable defective roof-junction details.
Complete suitable localised flat roof repair works.
Complete suitable repairs to pitched roofing areas.
Coordinate suitable associated roofline repairs.
Coordinate suitable related timber works where included.
Undertake broader suitable works where local repair is insufficient.
Coordinate suitable roofing within extension projects.
Complete suitable internal making good where included.
Coordinate suitable repairs to affected internal finishes.
Complete suitable final internal decoration where included.
Integrate roofing with refurbishment and construction works.
Roof works can form part of a wider property renovation
Older properties can require roofing works at the same time as internal or external refurbishment.
Where the roof is one package within a larger construction project, Crestane can coordinate suitable roofing with internal repairs, structural alterations and other building works.
This can reduce the need for the client to independently coordinate separate contractors for connected work packages.
See our House Refurbishment London service.
Coordinate new and existing roofing around an extension
House extensions frequently create new roof areas or require changes where new construction meets the existing building.
Suitable projects can involve roof coverings, junction details, rooflights or associated weathering work alongside the main extension construction.
Crestane can coordinate suitable roofing work as part of the overall extension package.
See our House Extensions London service.
Roofing within suitable commercial construction projects
Suitable commercial refurbishment projects can include localised roofing repairs or broader roof-related construction works.
Crestane can consider roofing where it forms part of a suitable multi-trade commercial refurbishment or construction project.
Scope and access requirements depend on the building, roofing system and scale of the works.
See our Commercial Construction London service.

Cost depends on the roof type, defect, access requirements and the extent of surrounding roofing work required.
