​Leaking Roof Repairs
A leaking roof should never be ignored. Even a relatively small leak can allow water to enter the roof structure, insulation, ceilings and internal areas of your property. If the source is not identified and repaired, the resulting damage can become considerably more expensive.
Common causes of roof leaks include:
-
Broken or missing tiles
-
Slipped slates
-
Damaged flashing
-
Failed roof valleys
-
Damaged ridge tiles
-
Deteriorating mortar
-
Damaged roof felt
-
Blocked or defective roof drainage
-
Chimney defects
-
Storm damage
-
Failed roof junctions
If you have noticed water staining on a ceiling, damp around a chimney or water entering your loft, it is important to have the roof inspected. Mogford Prescott can investigate the source of the problem and recommend the appropriate repair.
Roof Repairs in Bristol
Mogford Prescott provides roof repairs in Bristol for homeowners and property owners throughout the city and surrounding areas. Bristol has a mixture of Victorian, Edwardian, Georgian and modern properties, meaning roofing materials, construction methods and repair requirements can vary considerably.
Our Bristol roofing services cover areas including Clifton, Redland, Westbury-on-Trym, Henleaze, Bishopston, Horfield, Southville, Bedminster, Brislington, Fishponds, Stapleton, Stoke Bishop, Kingswood, Keynsham and surrounding areas. Whether you have a traditional slate roof on a period property or a modern tiled roof, our team can assess the condition and advise on the appropriate repair.
Roof Repairs in Bath
Mogford Prescott also provides roof repairs in Bath and surrounding areas. Bath is particularly well known for its historic architecture and period properties. Roofing repairs on older properties can require careful consideration of existing materials, roof construction and the appearance of the building.
We provide roof repairs across areas including: Bath city centre, Widcombe, Bathwick, Lansdown, Combe Down, Weston, Larkhall, Bear Flat, Odd Down, Twerton, Southdown, Keynsham and surrounding areas. Where appropriate, we can advise on repairs to slate, tiles, leadwork, flashing, ridges, valleys and other roofing components. For listed buildings and properties within conservation areas, additional requirements may apply depending on the proposed work.
Emergency Roof Repairs
Some roofing problems cannot wait. Following high winds or severe weather, your roof may suffer sudden damage such as:
-
Missing tiles
-
Slipped slates
-
Damaged ridge tiles
-
Exposed roof areas
-
Damaged flashing
-
Fallen branches
-
Water entering the property
If your roof has suffered storm damage or you have discovered an active leak, contact a professional roofing contractor as soon as possible. Mogford Prescott can assess the damage and advise on the most appropriate repair to help prevent further deterioration. Where safe and appropriate, temporary measures may be required before permanent repairs can be completed.
Broken & Slipped Tiles
Broken or slipped roof tiles are among the most common roofing problems. Tiles can become damaged due to age, weather conditions, impact or movement within the roof structure. A missing or broken tile can leave the underlying roof exposed to rain and wind, increasing the risk of water ingress. Replacing individual damaged tiles can often be a relatively straightforward repair when the surrounding roof remains in good condition. Our team can inspect the surrounding area of the roof to determine whether the problem is isolated or part of a wider issue.
Slate Roof Repairs
Slate roofs are common on many traditional and period properties throughout Bristol and Bath. Individual slates can become cracked, broken or displaced over time. Fixings can also deteriorate, resulting in slates slipping from their original position. Mogford Prescott can assess slate roofing and carry out appropriate repairs where possible, helping to preserve the existing roof rather than replacing sound materials unnecessarily. Where matching replacement slate is required, the existing roof and property should be considered to achieve an appropriate finish.
Lead Flashing & Valley Repairs
Leadwork plays an important role in protecting vulnerable areas of a roof from water ingress. Flashing is commonly found around:
-
Chimneys
-
Roof abutments
-
Dormer windows
-
Walls
-
Valleys
-
Roof junctions
When lead flashing becomes cracked, loose or deteriorated, water can enter the roof structure. A leak around a chimney or roof junction does not necessarily mean the entire roof needs replacing. In many cases, correctly identifying and repairing the defective leadwork can resolve the problem.
Ridge & Hip Tile Repairs
Ridge and hip tiles are exposed to the elements and can become loose or deteriorated over time. Older roofs may also have mortar that has weathered and failed, leaving sections of the roof vulnerable. Depending on the condition, repairs may involve replacing damaged tiles, re-bedding sections or carrying out appropriate remedial work. Our team can inspect the ridge and hip areas as part of the wider roof assessment.
Roof Repairs for Period Properties
Bristol and Bath contain many older and period properties where roofing repairs require particular care. Older roofs can contain traditional slate, clay tiles, leadwork and other materials that may no longer be commonly used on modern properties.
Rather than automatically recommending a complete roof replacement, our approach is to establish the actual cause of the problem and determine whether the existing roof can be repaired. For properties in conservation areas or listed buildings, owners should also establish whether consent is required before carrying out certain works.
Do You Need a Repair or a New Roof?
Not every roofing problem means that the entire roof needs replacing. A professional assessment can help determine whether:
-
A repair is appropriate when the damage is isolated and the majority of the existing roof remains in good condition.
-
A partial replacement may be appropriate when a particular section of the roof has deteriorated but the remainder remains serviceable.
-
A complete re-roof may be appropriate when deterioration is widespread, the roof covering has reached the end of its useful life or repeated repairs are no longer an economical long-term solution.
-
The right answer depends on the individual roof.
-
Our team can explain the condition of your roof and the options available before you commit to any work.
How Much Do Roof Repairs Cost in Bristol & Bath?
There is no fixed price for roof repairs because the cost depends on the cause and extent of the damage. Factors that can affect the cost include:
-
Type of roofing material
-
Number of tiles or slates requiring replacement
-
Extent of the damage
-
Access to the roof
-
Whether scaffolding is required
-
Leadwork requirements
-
Chimney access
-
Roof pitch
-
Location of the repair
Whether additional damage has been discovered. A simple tile replacement can be significantly less expensive than repairing a roof valley, extensive flashing or structural damage. The best way to establish the cost is to have the roof inspected and receive a quotation based on the actual work required.
