The roof is one of the most crucial parts of your home. Unfortunately, it is often one of the most overlooked parts; as small leaks and cracks are blissfully ignored. However, if you do decide to give your roof some attention, you should consider a professional for all your roof leak repair issues.
One of the first benefits of hiring a professional for your roof leak repairs is that they provide access to higher quality materials. Higher quality materials ensure that all repairs will have a longer lifespan. While there are roofing materials available at DIY stores, they are not likely to be a professional standard of quality. Additionally, if you can gain access to higher quality materials, you’re likely to pay a very high premium for this quality.
Professionals can offer far more services than just repairing a roof leak. Our recommended experts can offer repair of weather damage, replacing missing tiles, roof flashing, and waterproofing of flat roofs. A professional can also fix skylight roof leaks, and leaks to metal, slate, tile, and commercial flat roofs. The work is finalised by checking for interior damage from any leak to ensure that everything is okay.
While it may seem money saving, often amateur repairs end up costing more in the long term. In fact, professionals can save you money as the repairs are dealt with efficiently, and you can minimise the risk of needing a complete roof replacement. Fixing a small leak here and there will ensure that only defective parts are replaced or repaired. As soon as you detect a small leak, it is best to call a professional roof repair specialist to deal with the issue before it develops into a more serious problem.
Any damage in your roof puts your home at risk whenever it rains. Leaks are a serious problem that needs to be immediately addressed, as if left unchecked they can cause serious damage. Even a tiny leak can allow drops of water to seep into your home, causing devastating damage over time. Water can be destructive not only to your personal items and clothing, but also woodwork, and plaster. Fortunately, when a professional roofer fixes the leak, the problem will be eliminated once and for all.
Another benefit of hiring professionals is that leaks can be fixed when it is convenient for you. In some cases, the repairs may be possible when you’re not at home. Typically, repairs can be completed on the same day, so you don’t need to schedule multiple visits for the task to be completed.
While there are many repair issues around your home that can be tackled by someone with minimal DIY experience, there are some areas that can be extremely hazardous for amateurs. Dealing with a roof leak repair on your own will expose you to a high risk of an accident. You’ll be high up on the roof of your home, and you’re not likely to have any safety equipment. Professional roof leak repairs specialists have the experience of working at heights and will perform the task safely to reduce the risk of accidents and keep you and your family safe.
We had been trying for weeks to have a hole in our roof mended. We asked for a call back on the Thursday. They called us back within a few minutes and came and fixed our roof Saturday. Will definitely use them for any other roofing repairs

On my journey to find what is the issue with my roof Michael came recommended by another very high ranking professional who deemed its best to get some roof work done before I attempt to clean moss. I have nothing but kind words to describe Michael's professionalism, knowledge and skill. He has a very sharp eye and can pinpoint anything wrong with the roof and is incredibly honest and clear on what options we have on how to attempt to do the work. He provides an update every day on what is done and what is left and is incredibly clean and tidy when doing the work. He has so much compassion of the family situation and provides options for work to be done to suit the family budget. He has been so kind, knowledgeable, and honest with us that he has made something as devastating as roof works in 2 months of moving in, for a first time buyer, something manageable. He is always on time and has prioritised to do work even when the temperatures were below 0 just to make sure our roof wasn't leaking with the bad weather saving us a lot of potential damage. He is very trustworthy and I would recommend him and use him again if needed.

I contacted L&M roofing on Saturday, the problem with the damaged chimney, we met on Sunday, we agreed on the work, on Monday it was already done, before and after photos, efficiently and professionally. Thank you I'm waiting for the first heavy rain 🙂
Sebastian
We lost a tile overnight in the recent storms - gave him a ring when we noticed it (on a wet & windy Saturday) - he was here within the hour and job completed 10mins after arriving. He was almost too embarrassed to charge us - but we were happy to pay for his service (and obviously did). Great guy and a great job done. Highly recommended - and such a nice chap as well. We will definitely use him again.

I can't praise Steve and his team highly enough. Exemplary standard of workmanship, courteous, punctual, tidy, considerate and reasonably priced. The work (replacing soffits, fascias & guttering) was completed on time, on budget and to the highest standard. The site was thoroughly cleaned before they left. I would unreservedly recommend giving Steve the chance to quote for your job and am sure that you won't be sorry.
Rogers
Very professional, Very happy with the end result. Would recommend 100%

Sophie
Would recommend SDB building. Communications are always excellent, and the team deliver high quality works on the promised timescale.
Stephen
Quick and efficient response to the major issue found when doing work, communications were excellent throughout the work, photos supplied of completed work which is very helpful. While not the cheapest or most expensive, work completed looks 5*, it was not rushed.

Paul
Steve and the guys did a great job replacing the valley, installing an eaves tray and felt replacement on the chimney and chimney flaunching to name just a few of the repairs. High quality job - I can tell by the photos they undertook before and after. Reliable time keeping, they worked hard, kept tidy and above all the communication was excellent. I have used them several times before for different building jobs and they always provide a high level of service which is customer focused. Highly recommended.
Colette
Great team of guys who responded to our urgent repair needs. Steve was happy to talk us through the issues he could see and the options and costs of correcting them, before starting work, so there were no surprises. Work was completed on time and to a high standard.
Patrick
Needed a Velux window removed from the roof and also some repairs. Team were professional, efficient and got the job done in a day. Will be using them again and would highly recommend if you need work done
