Roof Repairs in Fife and Glasgow
A leak or a slipped slate rarely fixes itself, and it usually gets worse. We carry out honest, lasting roof repairs across Fife and Glasgow, and we will tell you straight whether a repair will hold or whether you are throwing good money after bad.
Signs you need a roof repair
- A leak or damp patch on a ceiling or in the loft
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates or tiles
- Damaged flashing around a chimney or valley
- Debris in the gutters after wind or storms
- Daylight visible through the roof from inside the loft
How we do it
- Free survey. We come out, get up on the roof and find the real cause, not just the symptom.
- Honest assessment. We tell you whether it needs a repair or a full replacement, and we will not sell you work you do not need.
- Clear written quote. Fixed and itemised, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
- The work. Carried out cleanly and to manufacturer standards, with matching materials where possible.
- Tidy up. Site left clean, gutters cleared where needed, and your guarantee explained.
The fix
Most repairs come down to replacing damaged slates or tiles, renewing worn flashing and leadwork, sealing around penetrations, or fixing a section of failed flat roof. We match materials to your existing roof so the repair blends in and holds up.
What affects the cost
Repair costs depend on the height and access of the roof, the type of covering, how much is damaged, and whether scaffolding or a tower is needed. Small repairs are usually a fixed callout, larger ones are quoted after a survey.

Is it better to repair or replace my roof?
It depends on the age and condition of the roof. If the covering is sound and the problem is isolated, a repair makes sense. We will give you an honest view either way.
Can you find a leak if I do not know where it is coming from?
Yes. Leaks often track along the timbers before appearing inside, so tracing the true source is part of the job.
Do you repair flat roofs as well as pitched roofs?
Yes, we repair all roof types across Fife and Glasgow.
