From a single slipped slate to widespread storm damage, our roof repair team puts it right — quickly, cleanly and with a written guarantee. We've carried out more than 4,000 individual roof repairs across Hampshire and Dorset, so the chances are we've already seen — and fixed — exactly what's wrong with yours.
What's included
- Slipped, broken, cracked or missing tiles & slates — like-for-like replacement
- Internal & external leak detection with thermal imaging when needed
- Lead flashing repair and replacement (code 4 & code 5)
- Ridge, hip and verge tile re-bedding using modern dry-fix systems
- Storm damage repair, insurance documentation & photo reports
- Free no-obligation roof inspection — and an honest answer
Most roof leaks are not where the water shows up. Water can travel several metres along a felt lap, a batten or a rafter before finally dripping through your ceiling — which is why patch-and-pray repairs by general handymen so often fail. Every Local Roof Repairs UK Ltd repair starts with a proper external inspection (and an internal one in the loft where access allows), so we can show you the actual point of failure before any work begins.
Once the cause is identified we use like-for-like materials wherever possible — natural slate replaced with natural slate, hand-made clay replaced with clay, concrete interlocking replaced from a matching range. Tiles are re-nailed and clipped to current BS 5534 standards, ridges and hips are bedded in with modern flexible mortar or converted to a dry-fix system, and any compromised felt is patched with breathable membrane underlay.
Every repair is photographed before, during and after, priced as a fixed written quotation (never an hourly rate that drifts) and backed by a written workmanship guarantee. If the same fault returns within the guarantee period, we come back free of charge.

Verified customer reviews
What customers say about our roofing work.
Hampshire and Dorset homeowners on the work Mike and the team have carried out for them.
"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."
