Roof Repairs from Oakcrest Roofing
Water travels along rafters and underlay before it drips, so the stain on your ceiling can be a metre or more from the actual defect. We start in the loft where we can, then on the roof, checking tiles, slates, ridges, flashings, valleys and gutters until the entry point is found. You get photos of the problem and a clear explanation before any repair is agreed.
Common repairs include refixing slipped tiles and slates, replacing cracked ones, rebedding loose ridges, renewing failed flashings and clearing blocked valleys. After high winds we make storm-damaged roofs safe quickly, then carry out the permanent repair. If the roof has reached the point where patching is poor value, we say so plainly and set out the cost of repairing against replacing, so the decision is yours.

Why choose us
Why homeowners choose Oakcrest for roof repairs
A written price first
You get an itemised quote before any work starts, so you know what you are paying for and nothing changes once the scaffold is up.
Photos of what we find
We photograph the parts of the roof you cannot see from the ground, so you can judge the problem for yourself rather than take our word for it.
Repair or replace, honestly
If a repair will see the roof through, that is what we quote. When a roof is at the end of its life we tell you, so you can plan instead of paying twice.
Tidy sites, waste removed
Your garden, drive and windows are protected while we work, and every old tile, batten and offcut leaves with us at the end of the job.
Pricing
What affects the cost of roof repairs
Repair costs depend on:
- How the affected area is reached: ladder, tower or scaffold
- The number of tiles or slates needed and their availability
- Whether flashings, ridges or valleys are involved
- Any timber or underlay damage found under the covering
No hidden extras
Scaffold and waste in the price

Aerial inspections
Drone roof surveys
Our drone roof survey and aerial inspection service provides an instant, efficient and safe way to assess the condition of your roof. Using HD drones, we capture detailed images and videos of hard-to-reach areas, identifying potential issues like leaks, cracks, and structural damage.
This non-invasive method reduces risks and disruption and results in accurate data without the need for roof ladders or expensive scaffolding. Ideal for residential, commercial or industrial properties, this service ensures thorough, cost-effective inspections every time.
We advise that you get your roof professionally surveyed every 2-3 years to keep up with any potential damage and early signs of wear and tear. If we catch minor repairs early, they will not become a more serious problem in the future.
