Roof Repairs in Surrey

Professional Roof Repairs Across Surrey

Hills Roofing Ltd carries out roof repairs in Surrey for homeowners and landlords across the whole county, from Sutton and Cheam in the north to Epsom, Guildford, and beyond. Founded by Connor Hill, a Bauder Approved Contractor with over ten years of hands-on experience; our repairs are carried directly by our team, with no subcontractors. Every repair job starts with an honest survey: we identify the actual cause of the problem and fix it, rather than recommending a full replacement when a targeted repair will do the job properly.

We offer a 24-hour response for urgent situations, such as storm damage, active leaks, or any roof defect where delay risks progressive damage to the structure or interior of your home. Contact us on +44 7713 778 909 for emergency call-outs or to arrange a free survey for non-urgent repairs.

Roof Repairs We Carry Out in Surrey

Slate and Tile Repairs

Surrey's older housing stock, including Victorian and Edwardian terraces and cottages in Sutton, Cheam, and the older parts of Epsom, is predominantly roofed in natural slate or plain clay tiles. Both materials are highly durable but individual slates and tiles slip, crack, or break over time, particularly after storms or freeze-thaw cycles. A few displaced slates can quickly lead to water ingress and timber damage if left unaddressed. Hills Roofing Ltd carries matching natural slate and clay tile to carry out like-for-like repairs; we won't replace slate with a non-matching fibre cement tile unless you specifically want that.

Flat Roof Repairs

Surrey's substantial stock of 1930s to 1980s housing almost universally features flat-roofed rear extensions and garage roofs in built-up felt. After 15–20 years, felt membranes crack, blister and lose their waterproofing integrity. We repair localised flat roof damage, such as splits, punctures, and failed seams, using compatible materials where the overall membrane is still serviceable. Where the felt is extensively deteriorated, we'll advise on replacement options, including GRP fibreglass and liquid plastic coatings, and explain honestly why a replacement makes more sense than patching in that case. We're Bauder Approved, which means our assessment of flat roof condition is technically grounded, not a sales pitch for new work.

Ridge and Hip Tile Repairs

Traditional sand-and-cement mortar bedding on ridge and hip tiles deteriorates over time; the bedding cracks, the tiles loosen, and in high winds they can slip or fall. We re-bed loose ridge and hip tiles using the correct mortar specification, or install dry ridge systems where a permanent mortar-free solution is preferred. Dry ridge is our default recommendation for Surrey properties where the existing mortar bedding has failed, as it eliminates future mortar failure and doesn't require repointing every ten years.

Valley and Flashing Repairs

Valleys, where two roof slopes meet, and flashings around chimneys, dormers, and party walls are the most common source of localised roof leaks. Lead valleys and flashings work-harden and crack over decades; felt valleys deteriorate and collapse. We re-dress and replace lead valleys and chimney flashings, high quality lead as appropriate, properly lapped and secured. Where the underlying valley board has rotted, we replace it before installing the new lead, as fixing the symptom without addressing the substrate is a temporary solution at best.

Emergency Temporary Repairs

For storm damage or severe leaks where permanent repairs cannot be completed immediately, due to weather conditions, material availability, or scaffold requirements, we carry out professional temporary weatherproofing using heavy-duty felt and tarpaulins, properly secured to prevent wind uplift. We provide a written quote for permanent repair before leaving the site and agree a return date.

• How much do roof repairs cost in Surrey? +

  The cost of roof repairs in Surrey depends on the type and extent of the damage. Minor repairs, such as replacing a few slates, re-bedding a ridge tile, or resealing a flashing, typically cost £150–£450. More substantial repairs, such as replacing a failed flat roof membrane or re-leading a valley, range from £500 to £2,500. Hills Roofing Ltd provides a free survey and written quote before any work begins.

• How quickly can you attend a roof repair in Surrey? +

  For urgent repairs, such as storm damage, active leaks, or structurally unsafe situations, Hills Roofing Ltd offers a 24-hour response across Surrey. For non-urgent repairs, we typically book surveys within 48 hours and schedule work within one to two weeks depending on our current workload.

• Can you repair a flat roof rather than replacing it? +

  Often yes. If the flat roof membrane has localised damage, such as a split, blister, or failed seam, a targeted repair using compatible materials is the correct approach. However, if the membrane is extensively cracked, has widespread adhesion failure, or is over 20 years old, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective. We'll give you an accurate picture after inspecting the roof; we won't recommend replacement when a repair will genuinely solve the problem.

• Do you cover the whole of Surrey for roof repairs? +

  Yes. Hills Roofing Ltd covers the whole of Surrey for roof repairs, including Sutton, Cheam, Carshalton, Epsom, Banstead, Guildford, and all surrounding areas. Call or WhatsApp us to confirm availability for your specific location.

• What guarantee do you offer on roof repairs in Surrey? +

  All repair work by Hills Roofing Ltd comes with a written workmanship guarantee. The guarantee period varies by repair type: flat roof system repairs carry a longer guarantee than mortar-based pointing work. The specific guarantee for your job is confirmed in writing before work begins.
