Our working method
Find the actual source
Water travels. We trace it back from the stain to the entry point rather than sealing the first suspicious spot.
Make safe
If it's live and raining, weathering it temporarily comes first — before any pricing conversation.
Repair with matched materials
Tiles, slates or lead matched to the existing so the repair does not stand out.
Tell you what's next
If the roof has limited life left, you'll be told plainly, with an indicative figure for the eventual re-cover.

Typical jobs on post-war housing
Town housing, bungalows and base-related properties.
Chimney and abutment leaks
Cement fillets crack and let water track down the stack. Replacing them with properly sized lead is a permanent fix rather than a seasonal one.
Large-span farm and unit roofs
Sheeted roofs over the barns and packhouses around Mildenhall industrial estate need sheet, fixing and gutter-line inspection rather than tile-by-tile repair.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
We quote homes and small commercial premises on the same terms — inspection first, written specification second.
Slipped and cracked tiles
The most common call-out: a handful of tiles out of position letting water onto the felt below, often after a single windy night.
Practical answers before you book
- Will the repair match the rest of the roof?
- We source matched tiles or slates wherever they're still available. On older post-war housing an exact match isn't always possible and we'll tell you before we start, not after.
- How quickly can you get to Mildenhall?
- We advertise a 24/7 emergency call-out for active leaks. Call 07437 005301 and we'll give you a straight answer on timing rather than a promise we can't keep.
- Can you repair in bad weather?
- We can usually make a roof safe and temporarily watertight in poor weather, then complete the permanent repair once it's dry enough to work properly.
- Can you work on commercial premises around Mildenhall industrial estate?
- Yes — shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units. Work is scheduled so trading and site access carry on where possible, and larger roofs are quoted with a planned maintenance option if that's more useful than a one-off repair.
- Do you clear up afterwards?
- Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste removed and gutters cleared before we invoice.
