Expert Roof Repairs That Last
A roof repair is any work that restores a roof to a watertight, sound condition without replacing the whole covering, from refixing slipped slates to renewing failed lead flashing. If you need roof repairs in Cornwall, the most important thing is an accurate diagnosis: most leaks start at the detailing (the flashings, valleys and abutments) rather than the slates themselves, and finding the true cause is a skill in itself.
That diagnosis is exactly where we excel. Steve is an NVQ-qualified roofer and leadwork specialist with over 10 years' experience on Cornish roofs, so he reads a roof quickly and accurately, identifying the real source of the problem and repairing it properly, first time. You get an expert assessment, a clear written quote, and a repair that's genuinely built to last.

“Nine times out of ten, a leak isn't the slate. It's the lead around a chimney or a valley that's split or lifted.

How Our Repair Quotes Work
Every roof is different, so an accurate price starts with a proper look. What shapes a repair quote is the type and extent of the damage, how accessible the roof is, whether scaffolding or a tower is needed for safe access, and the materials required to match your existing roof.
What you can always count on: a free inspection, a clear written quote with no hidden extras, and an expert recommendation on the right course of action, so you know exactly what’s being done, why, and what it costs before any work starts.
Frequently asked questions
My roof is leaking right now, what should I do?+
Contain the water if you can (a bucket under the drip, valuables moved clear), then call Steve. Leaks are prioritised, and we’ll get out to inspect and make your roof watertight as soon as possible.
Do you do emergency and storm-damage repairs?+
Yes, storm damage and active leaks always come first. After high winds we’ll make the roof safe and watertight, and provide clear photos and a report if you need to make an insurance claim.
How much does a roof repair cost?+
Every roof and every repair is different, so the accurate answer comes from an inspection. Steve inspects free of charge and gives you an exact written quote (based on the damage, access and materials) with no hidden extras.
Can you just replace a few broken slates?+
Yes, where the rest of the roof is sound, that’s a quick, clean job. If a larger share of the roof is failing, Steve will give you an expert assessment of whether a re-roof is the better investment, and explain exactly why.
Will my insurance cover storm damage?+
Often, yes. Policies usually cover sudden storm damage. We provide clear photos and a written report of the damage and the repair to support your claim, which makes the process much smoother.
Do you do free roof inspections?+
Yes. Steve will inspect your roof, give you a professional assessment of its condition, and a clear recommendation, free and with no obligation.
How do I know if it’s the roof or the flashing that’s leaking?+
Leaks near chimneys, valleys and where the roof meets a wall usually point to the lead flashing rather than the slates. Diagnosing that accurately is exactly what Steve’s leadwork specialism is for. See our leadwork page.
