Roof repairs in Peterborough
Slipped tiles, leaks and failed lead put right across PE1 to PE7, photographed and quoted in writing.
A leaking roof does not always need replacing. We cover Peterborough for roof repairs, from replacing slipped tiles to putting failed flashing right. We inspect the affected area, photograph what we find and explain the repair before giving you a written price.
Small roof repairs and persistent leaks
A ceiling stain tells you where water has landed, but not necessarily where it entered. We check the covering and the details around it, tracing the leak rather than sealing the nearest visible gap. Depending on what we find, repairs can include:
- Replacing cracked or missing roof tiles and refixing slipped slates.
- Repairing lead flashing where a roof meets a wall or chimney.
- Putting loose ridge tiles and damaged verges right.
- Renewing damaged sections of underfelt and battens where needed.
Repairing a terrace, detached house or extension
We cover the Ortons, Bretton, Werrington, Millfield and New England as part of our Peterborough service. On a terraced house, a leak beside a shared chimney needs the junction checking, not just the tiles below it. On a concrete-tiled roof, we look at the ridge, verge and eaves as well as the broken tile you can see from the ground.
We aim to match replacement tiles to the existing covering. Where a tile is discontinued, we explain the available options before fitting a replacement. If the fault is in the stack itself, our chimney repair service in Peterborough covers that work too.
What affects the cost of a roof repair?
Access, the extent of the damage and the materials needed all affect the price. A single accessible tile and a leaking chimney that needs scaffolding are different jobs. We check whether the damage is confined to the covering or extends to the felt, battens or timber beneath it, then set out the proposed work in a free written quote.
When a patch is enough
If the surrounding roof is sound, a local repair may be enough. If faults extend across the roof, we explain why repeated patching may be poor value and show you the photographs behind that recommendation. For a leaking garage or extension, see our flat roof repairs and replacement in Peterborough.
If water is coming in now or storm damage has left the roof exposed, use our emergency roof repair service. Tell us what you can see from ground level and stay off the roof while you wait.

What people say
In their words, not ours
One of the problems of finding a roofer when you are an older person is the thought of being scammed, especially given the increasing numbers of rogue traders together with the high costs at stake especially if the work is poor or non existent. We trawled a lot of roofers and found varying prices and limited experience and ‘one man bands’ offering little or no guarantees for their work. We came across Fred’s newly formed EverCrest Property Care Ltd Company and were initially concerned at the limited 3 months or so that they had been trading for, albeit that Fred had been a Sole Trader for some 6 years. So we undertook a ‘due diligence’ on the company and found they had worked on a limited number of roofing projects in the start up time. However having had a number of positive conversations with Fred we decided to give his company a chance having had a very good response and price to our required specification that formed the basis of our Building Control Application through Boston Borough Council. They say you can only make a first impression once and EverCrest Property Care Ltd certainly made an excellent impression indeed, in fact the work they undertook was first class and our Building Control Inspector was equally impressed with the standard of works they carried out. Our project involved replacing a main roof on a detached property and likewise on a kitchen extension. Work commenced on a Friday with the scaffolding being erected along with the delivery of two skips. On the Monday morning around 8:30am a team of 7 arrived on site and by 10am both roofs had been stripped and the Building Inspector was called early to check out the structure prior to the roofers installing the new insulation, membrane and battening in readiness for the new soffits, guttering and tiles being installed from Tuesday onwards. By Thursday the project had been completed and the Building Inspector returned first thing Friday morning and signed off the work having been impressed with the finished work. On the basis of the above experience we would have no hesitation in recommending EverCrest Property Care Ltd as a suitable and very experienced roofing contractor and would be happy to give any references to their standard of works.
Brilliant work! Reasonable price a friendly. Recommend to anyone. Sorted out my roof after 3 companies turned me down.
Amazing roof repair everything finished to a high standard,good communication and reasonable priced would definetly recommend.

Roof Repairs in Peterborough: common questions
How much do roof repairs in Peterborough cost?
We quote after checking the roof. Access, materials and any damage underneath the covering affect the price, so we do not give a fixed figure without seeing the problem. The inspection photographs and written quote are free; the repair itself is paid work.
Can you repair just one slipped or broken tile?
Yes. We take on small roof repairs as well as larger work. We check the surrounding tiles and the condition underneath so the repair deals with the cause as well as the visible damage.
Do you cover the Ortons, Bretton and Werrington?
Yes. We are based in Spalding and cover Peterborough, including the Ortons, Bretton and Werrington. Give us your postcode when you enquire so we can arrange the visit.
Can you find a roof leak that keeps coming back?
We trace where water enters and check the surrounding details, including flashing, ridges and the layers beneath the tiles where accessible. We explain what we have found with photographs before recommending the work.
