About us
Local roofers. Built on word of mouth.
Local Roof Repairs UK Ltd is a family-run, fully-insured roofing firm covering Hampshire, Dorset and the South Coast — led by Mike, a time-served roofer with more than 15 years on UK roofs.
Local Roof Repairs UK Ltd was founded by Mike, a time-served roofer who'd spent fifteen years watching homeowners get sold work they didn't need by national firms — and watching honest small repairs turn into £14,000 reroofs that disappeared into a salesman's commission.
We started small, took our time, and grew on the back of repeat business and referrals. Today we deliver several hundred roofing projects a year across Hampshire, Dorset and the surrounding South Coast — from a single tile replacement on a Victorian terrace in Portsmouth to a full re-roof on a country home in the New Forest. The same standards apply to both.
What hasn't changed: Mike personally quotes every project, runs every site, and signs off every job before scaffold comes down. There are no call centres, no commission-paid sales reps and no subcontractors. The roofer you speak to is the roofer who works on your roof.
We're fully insured for £5m public liability, every job comes with a free roof inspection (no hidden costs) and a fixed written quotation before any work begins, and every visit is backed by a written workmanship guarantee — typically 1–10 years depending on the work.

"Storm Isha took a dozen tiles off our roof on a Sunday afternoon. Mike answered the phone himself, was on site within two hours, tarped the whole side that night and had the permanent repair done the following Tuesday. He showed me photos before and after, talked me through the insurance claim, and didn't take a penny until I was happy. You don't get service like that any more."
"We had three roofers quote for stripping and re-covering our 1970s detached. Mike was the only one who actually got up on the roof with a ladder, lifted tiles, checked the battens and showed me where the felt had perished. His quote wasn't the cheapest but it was the only honest one. The job took five days, the skip was emptied daily, and the lads even hoovered the loft when they were done."
"Re-roofed our 1930s semi in natural Welsh slate. Mike sourced reclaimed slates that matched the next-door neighbour's roof exactly so the terrace still looks uniform. The leadwork around the chimney is a piece of art. Two of our neighbours have already booked him in."
"Our extension flat roof had been patched four times by the original builder and still leaked. Mike stripped it back to the deck, found rotten OSB nobody had mentioned, replaced it, upgraded the insulation and installed a one-piece EPDM membrane. Two heavy storms since and not a drop. Fair price, immaculate finish."
"Damp patch on the chimney breast turned out to be failed flashing and 60-year-old mortar. Mike rebuilt the top three courses, fitted new code 5 lead step flashing and repointed the whole stack. He even rebedded a wobbly pot I hadn't asked about, no extra charge. A proper tradesman."
"Two surveyors had told us our house was unmortgageable because of the spray foam in the loft. Mike removed the lot in three days, gave us a full written report with photos of every rafter, and the next surveyor signed it off without a fuss. Sale completed last week. Genuinely life-changing service."
"Twenty-year-old white plastic was warped and green. Mike's team replaced the lot in anthracite grey to match the new windows — fascias, soffits, gutters and downpipes. Two days, no mess, and the price he quoted on day one was the price I paid."
"I was about to spend £14k on a new roof because mine looked dreadful. Mike came out, inspected it for free and told me it had another 15 years in it — it just needed cleaning and treating. They scraped the moss, soft-washed it and applied a biocide. Looks like new. He talked me out of a £14,000 job. Honest doesn't come close."
"Three slipped tiles after high winds. I'd been quoted £600 by a national company. Mike came out, did the repair properly with new clips and a fresh hip tile, charged £180 and gave me a written guarantee. I'll never use anyone else."
