Roof Repairs in Birmingham

Birmingham Roof Pros repairs pitched and flat roofs on homes across Birmingham. We replace slipped and broken tiles and slates, re-bed loose ridge tiles, fix leaking valleys and patch flat roofs. If a roof is past repairing, we say so and quote for a roof replacement instead.

Repair first, where it will last

Historic England says replacing an old roof covering is disruptive and expensive, so you should first check whether it can be repaired. It says damp can be caused by faults that can be repaired, like a leaking chimney or lead flashings, or by slipped slates or tiles.

So we look for the fault that is letting water in, and fix that part.

Signs you need a roof repair

Which? lists these signs on slate and tiled roofs:

• Damp inside the house, staining on walls and ceilings, or leaks. Which? says this may signal a cracked or slipped tile.
• A gap where a tile used to be. Which? says to replace it quickly, before water gets into the felt underneath. It also says a gap makes it easier for more tiles to blow off in high winds.

Which? also says to pay attention to any joins, such as the roof ridge (the tiles at the top), roof valleys (where two pieces meet) and the chimney, to look for gaps. We check those first too.

What roof repairs cost

Repair (Which? survey)	Price
Replace one to six broken or missing standard tiles	£75 to £400
Put in a new single ridge tile	£80 to £300

Which? based these on a survey of 11 Which? Trusted Traders in November 2025. They include labour and materials but not VAT. It says the final cost is often dependent on access. It also says prices are likely to be at the upper end of the scale if you live in London or the South East.

It also says many roofers charge by the hour, often with a higher rate for the first hour. We'd rather give you a set price once we've seen the roof, and we put it in writing.

Repairs we do

We replace slipped, cracked and missing tiles or slates, and match the shape and colour as closely as we can. We re-bed loose ridge and hip tiles in mortar, or fit a dry ridge, where we fix them with clips and screws instead. We clear out valleys and replace worn valley linings.

Where a leak starts round the chimney, we re-seal the joint between the roof and the stack, or point you to our chimney repairs page if the stack itself needs work. On flat roofs we patch splits and blisters, or quote for flat roofing if the covering has failed all over.

Don't let anyone spray foam over a leak

The Energy Saving Trust warns about companies that offer to fix a damaged or leaking roof by spraying foam insulation under it, without fixing the fault first. It says it doesn't recommend this. It says a roof should be dry and in good condition before any insulation goes in.

We fix leaks from the outside. If someone has already sprayed foam in your loft, tell us when you book, because it changes how we look for the fault.
