Roof Repairs:What You Need to Know
What it is
A roof repair puts right a specific fault without replacing the whole roof. That might be a handful of slipped or cracked tiles, a damaged ridge, a failed flashing, a leaking valley or storm damage after high winds. The goal is simple: find exactly where the water is getting in, fix the cause rather than the symptom, and leave the roof sound for years to come.
Who it's for
Roof repairs are for homeowners and landlords across Gloucester, Cheltenham and the surrounding area whose roof is basically sound but has a problem that needs sorting. If you have a damp patch on a bedroom ceiling, tiles in the garden after a storm or a drip in the loft, this is the service you need.
When you need it
The right time to repair a roof is as soon as you notice a problem. Water rarely stays where it enters; it tracks along timbers, soaks insulation and comes through ceilings well away from the original fault. Common triggers are winter storms, heavy rain after a dry spell and age-related wear on older roofs.
Why it matters who does it
Most roof leaks are not where they appear to be. Finding the true cause takes experience, safe access and an eye for how water moves across tiles, flashings and valleys. Michael's family have been roofing for three generations, and the team brings over 100 years of combined experience to diagnosing problems properly the first time.
What HappensIf It's Left
A small roof fault is the cheapest it will ever be on the day you notice it. Left alone, the damage spreads, and so does the cost.
Rotting timbers
Repeated wetting softens battens and rafters. What could have been a tile replacement becomes a section of roof that needs stripping back.
Ruined ceilings and insulation
Wet insulation stops working and plasterboard stains, sags and eventually fails, adding internal repairs to the bill.
Damp and mould
Moisture in the loft and upper rooms encourages mould growth, musty smells and condensation problems.
Storm damage spreading
One loose tile lets wind get underneath its neighbours. The next storm lifts more, and the gap gets bigger.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Waiting for dry weather to 'see if it stops': the leak is still there, just hidden.
- Using sealant or tape on tiles as a quick fix, which traps water and hides the real fault.
- Accepting an hourly-rate quote with no fixed total, so the cost climbs as the job goes on.
- Assuming the leak is directly above the stain without checking flashings, valleys and ridges.

Roofing has run through Michael Wilshire's family for generations: his grandfather started in the trade, his uncles and father followed, and Michael has added 15 years of his own.

How We PriceRoof Repairs
Every roof repairs job starts with a free survey. We come to the property, look at the problem properly and talk you through what we've found. You don't pay anything for the visit and there's no obligation to go ahead.
After the visit we send you a fixed-price quote, usually within a day. We don't work on an hourly rate, so the figure on the quote is the figure you pay; the job taking a little longer than expected doesn't change your bill. Deposits are only required on larger jobs, and no deposit is needed for repairs.
Because every property is different, we don't publish set prices online. A fixed price based on your actual roof is fairer and more accurate than a guess based on averages.

Six Questions to AskAny Roofer
Whoever you choose for your roof repairs, these questions will help you compare quotes fairly and avoid unpleasant surprises.
- 1
Is the price fixed?
An hourly rate or a vague estimate can grow as the job goes on. Ask for a fixed total in writing before any work begins. Every Redland quote is a fixed price.
- 2
What exactly is included?
Two quotes can look very different once you compare what's actually being done. Ask for the work to be described clearly so you're comparing like with like.
- 3
What's the guarantee, and is it in writing?
A guarantee period should be stated, not implied. Ours are 25 years on new pitched roofs and 15 years on flat roofs, with repair guarantees confirmed on site.
- 4
Are you insured?
Roofing is work at height. Make sure whoever you hire is insured. We are fully insured.
- 5
Can I read independent reviews?
Reviews on independent platforms are harder to fake than testimonials on a website. You can read ours on Google and Checkatrade.
- 6
How soon will I get the quote?
A slow quote is often a sign of slow work. We aim to send your quote within a day of the visit.
Roof RepairsExplained
Roof repairs cover a wide range of faults. These are the most common jobs we carry out on pitched roofs across Gloucestershire and the surrounding counties.
Slipped, cracked and missing tiles
Tiles slip when nails corrode or battens weaken, and crack from frost, impact or age. We replace like-for-like where possible so the repair blends in, and check surrounding tiles and battens so the fault doesn't simply move along the roof.
Ridge and hip repairs
Ridge and hip tiles sit at the most exposed points of the roof. Traditional mortar-bedded ridges crack and loosen over time. We can rebed them, or upgrade to a dry ridge system for a secure, low-maintenance finish.
Flashings and lead work
Many leaks start where the roof meets a wall, chimney or dormer. Cracked mortar fillets, lifted lead and failed flashings let water run straight into the structure. We repair or replace the flashing so the junction is watertight.
Valleys
Valleys carry a large volume of water where two roof slopes meet. Blocked, split or worn valleys overflow under the tiles. We clear, repair or re-line valleys depending on their condition.
Storm damage
High winds lift tiles, ridges and verges, and fallen branches can break tiles. We make the roof safe and weathertight, and carry out a full repair once the extent of the damage is clear.
When a repair isn't enough
Sometimes a roof is past repairing economically. If that's the case we'll tell you honestly, explain why, and give you a fixed price for both options so you can decide.
