Roof repair cost: typical prices for common fixes
Most roof repairs are far cheaper than people fear — the trick is fixing the real cause once rather than patching the symptom three times. Here's what common repairs actually cost.
Typical repair prices
Single slipped tile re-set with tingle clip: £150–£300. Chimney re-lead and re-point: £600–£1,200. Section of valley re-lead: £400–£900. Ridge re-bed or dry-fix conversion: £400–£1,200. Leak trace and fix: from £180. Most include a basic safe-access setup; scaffold-required jobs cost more.
Why access drives the price
A repair you can reach from a roof ladder is cheap. The same repair needing a scaffold or tower for safe access can double or triple, because the access is often more expensive than the fix itself. We always tell you which it is up front.
Why the cheapest quote often costs more
Sliding a slipped tile back without a fixing, or re-pointing a chimney without lifting the lead, looks cheap and fails within months. We quote the proper fix that lasts — it's usually only a little more and saves a repeat call-out.
When repair becomes re-roof
If we find several failed tiles, brittle underlay and tired battens, repeated repairs are a false economy. We'll always show you the honest crossover point where a planned re-roof saves money over chasing leaks.
