Roof repairs are the most common call we get, and the most important rule we follow is not to overcomplicate them. A blown-off ridge tile, a cracked slate, failed flashing around a chimney, or a blocked valley — these are all fixable jobs that don't need a full roof replacement. We cover Ely and the wider Cambridgeshire Fens for all types of repair work on pitched and flat roofs.
Common repairs we carry out include re-bedding or dry-fixing ridge and hip tiles, replacing individual broken or slipped slates and concrete tiles, repointing chimney stacks and re-leading flashings, clearing and resealing lead valleys, repairing or replacing damaged fascias and soffits, and fixing leaks around skylights and roof windows. On older properties around Ely — particularly the Victorian streets near the city centre — we often find lime mortar pointing on chimney stacks that has weathered badly and is letting water track down inside the breast. Repointing and re-flashing a chimney typically takes half a day and is far cheaper than leaving it.
Getting a repair done promptly matters. Water finding its way through even a small gap in a roof covering will track along rafters and battens before it shows inside, meaning the actual entry point is often some distance from the visible ceiling stain. Leaving it gives damp time to reach the insulation and timberwork.
We carry out a free visual inspection before quoting for repairs, and we'll show you photos if we've been up on the roof. Most standard repairs are completed within one to two days of starting. Typical roof repair costs in Ely range from £150 for a minor tile replacement to £800–£1,200 for chimney repointing and reflashing. Call us to book a free roof inspection.
