Roof Repairs in Wokingham
Roof repairs, re-roofs and flat roof specialists across Wokingham. Free surveys, fixed written quotes, tidy workmanship.
Wokingham Roofing Company handles roof repairs across Wokingham — slipped and cracked tiles, leaks that stain ceilings after heavy rain, wind-lifted ridges and storm damage. The rule on every call-out is the same: find the fault before quoting the fix. A leak patched in the wrong place comes back; a leak traced to its entry point doesn't.
That matters because water travels. It gets in at a cracked tile or a failed flashing, runs along the underlay or a rafter, and shows up on a ceiling metres away. The wet patch tells you almost nothing about where the hole is.
Faults we trace and fix
Cracked and slipped tiles
Wind and frost work tiles loose over time. We re-fix or replace with matching profiles — Marley, Redland and Sandtoft patterns are all still sourceable for most Wokingham estates.
Perished underlay
Older roofs on bitumen felt underlay go brittle at the eaves first. Localised felt repairs keep an otherwise sound roof going for years.
Failed mortar
Crumbling verge and ridge mortar lets wind get under the tiles. We re-bed, or convert to a mechanically fixed dry ridge system that complies with BS 5534 and never needs pointing again.
Storm damage
Lifted tiles, dislodged ridge lines and torn felt after a gale — made safe quickly, then repaired permanently with the evidence your insurer wants.

Diagnosis first, always
Wokingham's mix of housing makes proper diagnosis worth paying for. The Victorian terraces around the town centre often have slate roofs where a single delaminating slate mimics a bigger failure. The 1930s semis along the Barkham and Finchampstead roads mostly carry concrete tiles on original felt that's now past 80 years old. And the newer estates — Montague Park, Arborfield Green — occasionally throw up snagging-era faults like poorly dressed lead or missing eaves support trays. Same symptom, three different fixes, three very different prices.
So we survey from the roof, not the pavement, photograph the fault, and quote exactly what the photos show. If the honest answer is that the roof is at end of life and repairs are throwing money at it, we'll say that too.
