What’s wrong with your roof?
Pick what you can see. Here’s what it usually means and how we’d fix it.
A leak is rarely right above the stain
What it usually means
Water gets in at a slipped tile, a valley, chimney flashing or a tired flat roof, then runs along the felt or timbers before it shows.
What we do
We look at the roof for where it’s likely getting in, and quote to repair it.
Next step
Tell us where the stain is; a photo helps. A quote is free.
One slipped tile lets rain onto the felt
What it usually means
Old nails rust and frost and wind lift tiles. Rain then gets onto the felt and, over a winter, into the battens.
What we do
Tiles refixed or replaced with the closest match we can get, and the ones around them checked while we’re up there.
Next step
Call or text a photo of the tiles. A quote is free.
Crumbling mortar under the ridge
What it usually means
Ridge and hip tiles sit on mortar that cracks with age. Once it goes, the tiles can rock, lift or fall in high winds.
What we do
Rebedded in fresh mortar, or a dry-fix ridge that’s clipped and screwed down instead of relying on mortar.
Next step
Call or text a photo of the ridge. A quote is free.
Old felt cracks, blisters and lets water sit
What it usually means
Felt dries out in the sun and splits. Water sitting on it finds the joints and edges and gets into the deck.
What we do
Patched if the deck is sound. If it’s had its day, a new felt or fibreglass roof, with new edge trims and gutter where needed.
Next step
A free quote, and the options explained first.
Chimneys let water in at the top and the base
What it usually means
Cracked flaunching round the pots, worn pointing and lifted lead flashing all let rain into the stack and the roof below.
What we do
Flashing redone, pointing and flaunching renewed, pots sealed and cowls fitted.
Next step
Call or text a photo of the stack. A quote is free.
Water going over the gutter, not into it
What it usually means
Blocked, sagging or misaligned gutters, or rotten boards behind them. The overflow soaks the wall and the roof edge.
What we do
Gutters cleared, realigned or replaced, and new uPVC fascias and soffits where the boards behind have gone.
Next step
Call or text a photo. A quote is free.

One gable, two stages
From bare battens to a tile-hung gable
The same gable, seen from the scaffold. First the new breathable membrane and battens went on; then it was hung with new clay tiles, with a band of rounded tiles across the middle under the white bargeboards.

Questions
What people ask before they book
How much does a roof repair cost?
It depends on what’s wrong and how the roof is reached, so we don’t guess over the phone. We look at the roof and give you the price before any work starts. The quote is free and there’s no obligation.
Do I need a new roof, or can it be repaired?
Often a repair is all it needs. We’ll tell you which, and why. If a roof is past repairing, we’ll explain what we’ve seen. New roofs and re-roofs.
How do I get in touch?
Call 07576 545213, or text the same number with a short description and a photo of the problem if you can take one. Either way, it reaches Peak Roofing.
Which areas do you cover?
We’re based in Preston and cover Penwortham, Leyland, Longridge, Kirkham, Chorley, Blackburn, Garstang, Lancaster and the towns around them. See all the areas we cover.
Do you work on slate roofs as well as tiles?
Yes: concrete and clay tiles, natural slate and lead work, plus felt and fibreglass flat roofs. See roof repairs and flat roofs.
Do you repair flat roofs on extensions and garages?
Yes. If the deck underneath is sound, a flat roof can often be repaired; if not, it’s replaced in felt or fibreglass. See flat roofs.
Can you fix a leak round my chimney?
Yes. Chimneys usually let water in at the lead flashing at the base or the flaunching round the pots. See chimney repairs.
Do I need planning permission for roof work?
Usually not for repairs or like-for-like re-roofing. Listed buildings and conservation areas can be different, so check with your council first. More roofing questions.
Can you fit a dry-fix ridge?
Yes. A dry-fix ridge clips and screws each ridge tile down instead of relying on mortar. See roof repairs.
Do you do fascias, soffits and gutters?
Yes: new uPVC fascias, soffits and guttering, and gutters cleared, realigned or given new joints. See fascias, soffits and guttering.
