Roof Repairs
No matter how petty the roofing issue is, it is vital to seek the aid of a professional roofer.
A professional roofer does not only boast roofing expertise but also possesses the right tools for the job. Roofing problems such as leaks should be addressed once they’re noticed.
If left unattended, they can cause more harm than good. Addressing roofing issues at their initial stage will save you on the repair cost which is often 3x more expensive.
Roof repair costs depend on several factors, such as the type of roof, extent of the damage, size of the roof, and more.
For instance, minor repairs cost less when compared to significant ones.
The great thing about roof repair is that it’s quite affordable when compared to roof replacement.
The cost for typical roofing repairs are as follows:
* £200 to £350 for petty repairs
* £350 to £800 for moderate repairs
* £900 to £3000 for major repairs
A majority of homeowners spend between £400-£1000 for a roof repair or, on average, £700 to mend a roofing issue.
Some roofing issues cost over £2500 to repair, and in such a case, roof replacement is the most viable option. This is because replacing an old roof with a new one increases its longevity and will be worth the value when compared to spending the same amount to repair a roof.

Lead Flashing
Lead, either in the form of sheeting or flashing has been popular in the building industry for centuries. This is for a variety of different reasons, mainly because of its water-resistant properties, reliability, and durability.
These properties are the reason construction professionals choose to lead as a solution for chimney and roof flashings.
Lead is easy to work with because of its pliable and versatile nature. It can easily be bent and shaped without it splitting and cracking.
Lead flashing is used to protect and seal your roof from leaks. Sealing the joints of the roof, wherever the roof meets a vertical surface. Here are the four types of lead flashing that we install and repair:
Lead aprons
This type of flashing remains popular across the UK. You will commonly see it on the back and front of many chimneys. Anywhere a sloped roof comes into contact with a vertical wall or another outbuilding or house. The purpose of these aprons is to redirect water before it comes into contact with a vertical surface such as a chimney stack are an adjoining building.
Lead Steps
Step flashing is popularly used when pitched roofing touches the vertical wall of a conservatory, chimney stack, or an adjacent building. The lead is cut in a manner that resembles steps. This is used to prevent potential damage to the pig book by allowing water to flow without the risk of pooling freely.
Chimney
Chimney flashing is commonly used to surround the base of a chimney shaft to prevent water from penetrating the inner flu. They can also be used to reduce the efficacy of a fire, stabilise the chimney stack and improve airflow. These flashings can also act as insulation preventing heat loss from the roof and the chimney.
Soakers
Lead flashing is commonly installed as a soaker. Soakers are placed between two courses of tiles, preventing water from penetrating. Lead is an ideal substance to act as a soaker stretching and bending easily without directly affecting the lay of any titles.
Lead flashing repair work will vary depending on the size and position of a chimney. Whether or not the workers will need to use scaffolding on this will largely depend on what your house is a second single or two-story. The cost usually ranges from £350 to £800.
You would also have to factor in the cost of labour. The majority of workers will operate in pairs, and they charge anything from £200 to £300 per day. These repair works can usually be completed in a single day, and in many cases only a half-day is needed, meaning labour costs are not prohibitive.

Roof Replacement
Roofing is an essential part of the house. Basically, it serves as your protection from heat, snow, rain, thunderstorm, and anything brought by the changing weather.
Without a roof, your home isn’t home.
The cost of roof replacement is based on two things: the materials used and the size of the roofing.
For instance, a flat roof for a garage costs lower than a tiled roof for a home with 4-bedrooms.
That’s just how you estimate based on the size. In terms of materials, we have a tiled and flat roof with different prices. In the UK, the estimated average cost of roofing that you are likely to spend ranges from £5,000 to £6,000.
Tiled roofing is commonly used by most houses in the UK.
Tiles also have different kinds and types, which make the prices different as well.
If you are looking for the most durable one, slate is highly recommended as it can take up to 100 years before it wears down. Clay and cement tiles are cheaper but they are not as strong as slate.
In terms of roof replacement, it would cost you around £100 to £200 to replace a couple of tiles that are missing or damaged. The cost will be higher if you are planning to replace your whole roofing with tiles.
The other type of roofing is a flat roof. This is typically found on extensions, garages, and outbuildings. Compared to tile roofs, this is a lot cheaper.
Flat roofs use timber and coating. Although tiled roofs are more durable, flat roofing is better protection for other problems like wind damage.
In flat roofing, the cost of the materials and labor are normally separated. The materials cost around £50 to £90 per square meter depending on the quality used.
Meanwhile, the labor may range from £150 to £250 daily. If you are planning to replace the roofing in your garage, expect to spend up to £1,800 overall.
Apart from the roof materials, they may be other activities that your roof needs before it is replaced. One common activity is building a scaffolding–a temporary structure utilised to make the roofing process easier. If that’s the case, you have to allocate at least £400 or a maximum of £900 for it.
If you want to take control of your spending, you should be able to find the right service provider for a more professional scoping of the work.
PVC Fascia & Gutter Repair Installation
Investing in uPVC roofline solutions not only ensures the long-term protection of your home. It also enhances its value and appearance.
Leaving the joists and roof rafters of your home poorly protected or unprotected means that they will need continuous maintenance and repair to survive the effects of constant weather exposure, this can prove very time-consuming and extremely costly.
Gutters, Soffits and Fascia made from uPVC are now the products of choice due to their cost-effectiveness and longevity.
The following prices are for the replacement and removal of existing rainwater gutters, and boards, and the installation of uPVC replacements.

Your gutter is a duct that is attached beneath the eave of your roof. It’s designed to catch and funnels any rainwater away from this structure to prevent excessive water damage. You sometimes hear them referred to as guttering. Monitoring the integrity of your gutters is vital for several different reasons.
Leaking gutters can severely impact the integrity of your home. A blocked gutter can lead to water flooding into your property, causing extensive damage.
When a gutter becomes blocked, water can easily flow into your ceiling cavities, in the worst cases causing the ceiling to collapse and other structural damage. Once inside the home, this water can quickly destroy irreplaceable possessions and furniture. Maintaining your guttering is not a decision you should take likely.
The Fascia are attached to the trusses of your roof; they are you PVC boards designed to run along the length of your exterior wall.
They help give support to your gutters as they need assistance due to the strain caused by carrying gallons of rainwater.
The soffits are connected at a right angle to the Fascia when they are designed to reduce the buildup of concentration within the eaves of your roof; this is why you often find them ventilated. Soffits once installed we’ll keep the overhang of your roof in optimal condition.
We provide a wide range of Fascia and soffits that offer ideal solutions for replacing existing older boards. Coming to a variety of designs, finishes and colours to meet your needs and can be easily cut to fit any individual property.

Roof Insulation
Roof insulation is one of the housing projects initiated by the government with the goal of encouraging every home and business office to reduce their carbon footprints. Insulation is so valuable that almost all homes in the UK are embracing it. Who wouldn’t want a property with roof insulation that can save on power and fuel bills?
If you are not familiar with insulation, this works by preventing heat loss in your home. It has different types such as a wall, loft, and floor insulation. This is what keeps your house warm during the winter and cool in the summer. Insulation and highly recommended by the UK government and in case you are curious about its pricing, here are what you need to consider.
Before you can determine the right amount you need to pay for roof insulation, there are factors that can affect the variances in pricing. First is the cost and quality of both the installation process and the materials. You would need someone to install the insulation materials in your home. There are home service companies offering labor and materials in one package.
The current level of insulation, how energy-efficient your home is, and the amount you are paying for your energy also play a part in this regard.
Insulation has a lot of cost benefits. But then, the amount depends on the size of your property and how much you are currently paying for your energy. Throughout the year, the average amount you can save from your energy bills is about £250 annually. Loft insulation can save around £150 while cavity wall insulation can reduce your consumption by £140.
The cost of loft insulation is around £300. With the amount you can save from your energy bills, it’s possible to recover this home improvement expense within two years.
The cost may still increase depending on the size of your loft and how thick you want your insulation to be.
Roofing insulation can help you save around £150 to £180 every year. The savings can increase or decrease depending on the performance of your roof insulation. For instance, in the UK, 270mm is the suggested level of loft insulation. This is a lot already. If you are not sure if your loft has insulation installed, you should check it out first before calling a service provider. In case you have one already, you still need to ensure if it’s 270mm to guarantee energy saving. The thicker your insulation is, the more energy savings you can make.
Although there is a DIY installation, it’s better for your home to have someone who can professionally install the roof insulation. This is one way you can secure your energy savings. Don’t forget that you are paying for the materials as well. You wouldn’t want to waste the costs of insulation materials when you have a company that can do the work for you.
Flat Roof
The main benefit of a flat roof is that it maximises the internal space so you can use the full height of the room below, giving you more flexibility in the internal design of your property. Flat roofs are a popular choice, particularly in new-build properties, enabling you to create a stunning internal living space that is difficult to achieve with a pitched roof design.
Flat roofs are by no means a ‘cheap’ alternative to pitched roofs. However, with less materials and construction costs to consider, they are more cost-efficient to set up.
Typically costs for refurbishment range from £1,000 – £3,000 depending on the type of work needed.

Insulation
A warm roof insulation layer is mounted above the roof deck and vapour control layer, promptly below the waterproof membrane.
This is much more effective than cold roof insulation where the insulating layer is installed below the deck and immediately above the ceiling.
Even though a flat roof will have a slight slope it is not as efficient at shedding water as its pitched roof counterpart so it needs to be regularly inspected and maintained. Leaf and debris build-up can clog the gutters, resulting in drainage problems. Long-term water pooling can lead to roof sag, structural damage and eventual roof collapse.
Over time the waterproof membrane can crack and blister. If blistering is widespread and the roof begins to sag between the joists and then the roof will need to be replaced.
Another reason for roof renewal is to up-grade from cold roof to warm roof insulation. This involves the installation of a vapour control layer, a rigid board insulation layer, and a new waterproof coating.
Felt
Felt roofs consist of a 3 layer system:
Vapour control layer
Reinforced felt layer
Bitumen capping sheet
These are melted and welded together on site, with a hot torch.
Although felt roofs are long-lasting, they are not suitable for heavy foot traffic so are not recommended for roof terraces or balconies.

Durable and lightweight, it will provide you with a watertight and maintenance free covering for many years. GPR is a robust, non-corrosive flat roof solution with an optimum finish.
