Roof Repairs, 7 Days a Week, 365 Days a Year

Roof problems don’t always start with water pouring through the ceiling. It might be a slipped tile, a recurring damp patch, or a flat roof holding more water than it should. Whatever you’ve noticed, it’s worth finding the cause before the damage spreads.

Roof Care 365 carries out roof repairs for homes, businesses and industrial properties across Somerset and the wider South West. We’ll inspect the problem, explain what’s wrong and recommend suitable repairs.

With over 20 years in the trade, our team handles everything from small domestic repairs to urgent leaks affecting large commercial buildings.

Is Your Roof Leaking Right Now?

If the roof is actively leaking, materials have come loose, or part of the building is exposed, it may need urgent attention.

Our first job is to make the area safe and limit further water getting in. Depending on the weather, access and type of damage, that might mean temporary weatherproofing before the permanent repair can be completed.

Don’t climb onto a wet or storm-damaged roof yourself. Stay at ground level and move belongings away from the affected area if it’s safe to do so.

We’re available for emergency call-outs 7 days a week, 365 days a year − call us on 07793 525997.

Common Roof Problems We Repair

You don’t need to work out what’s causing the problem before getting in touch. Tell us what you’re seeing and we’ll take it from there.

We regularly deal with roofing problems such as:

  • Leaking roofs
  • Missing, slipped or broken tiles
  • Loose or damaged slates
  • Chimney and flashing leaks
  • Flat roof damage
  • Storm damage
  • Recurring leaks

If the same problem keeps coming back, there’s a good chance the original cause hasn’t been dealt with properly or the surrounding roof is beginning to fail. We’ll inspect the wider area before recommending another repair.

Domestic Roof Repairs

A roof leak at home can be disruptive even when the damaged area is small.

We carry out repairs on:

  • Detached and semi-detached homes
  • Terraced properties
  • Rental homes
  • Garages and outbuildings
  • Extensions and porches
  • Flats and managed residential buildings
  • Older and period properties

That might mean replacing a couple of tiles, fixing leadwork around a chimney, or sorting a flat roof leak above an extension. We’ll tell you what we’ve found before we start any work.

Commercial Roof Repairs

Commercial Roofing Project

A leaking commercial roof can quickly become more than a building problem.

Water may affect stock, machinery, electrical equipment or areas that need to stay open throughout the day.

We repair roofs on:

  • Warehouses
  • Factories
  • Offices
  • Retail units
  • Schools and colleges
  • Leisure facilities
  • Managed residential blocks

Our team works on metal sheeting, felt, single-ply membranes, GRP, liquid-coated systems, rooflights and box guttering.

Before the work starts, we’ll look at how the site operates. This includes access routes, working hours, deliveries and occupied areas, especially where the repair has to be carried out without closing the building.

Flat Roof Repairs

Flat roofs tend to show different warning signs from tiled or slate roofs.

You might notice water pooling for longer than usual, a bubbling section of felt, a split near the edge or damp appearing below a rooflight.

We repair:

A local repair may be enough where the surrounding system is still sound. That could mean sealing a puncture, repairing a failed seam, replacing a damaged trim or resolving a problem around an outlet.

If the roof has widespread cracking, repeated leaks or several old patches, adding another repair may not be the best use of money. We’ll explain when a repair is worthwhile and when replacement is becoming the more sensible option.

What Happens After We Inspect the Roof?

Not every inspection ends with the same recommendation. Depending on what we find, the next step might be:

A local repair

This is often suitable where the damage is limited to one area and the rest of the roof remains in reasonable condition. This could be a slipped tile, failed flashing or a puncture in the roof membrane.

Temporary weatherproofing

Sometimes the roof needs to be made safe before the permanent work can go ahead. It’s more common after storms, during heavy rain or where the right materials and access can’t be arranged on the first visit.

Further investigation

The source of a leak isn’t always obvious during a basic inspection. We may need to carry out a drone survey to inspect the covering before the repair can be confirmed.

Sectional replacement

Where one part of the roof has deteriorated more heavily than the rest, replacing that section may give a better result than repeated patching.

Full replacement

This is normally considered where damage is widespread, leaks keep returning or the roof covering has reached the end of its useful life.

We won’t recommend a new roof simply because it’s a bigger job. We’ll explain why replacement is being discussed and what the alternatives are.

Should I Repair or Replace My Roof?

A damaged roof doesn’t automatically need replacing. Repairing it may be the right option when the problem is limited to one area and the surrounding roof remains sound.

However, a replacement may be more practical when leaks are appearing in several places or if old repairs keep failing.

We’ll talk you through the condition of the roof and the likely value of each option before anything’s agreed.

See our guide to roof repair versus replacement for a closer look at how they differ.

We’ll Show You What We’ve Found

Repairs aren’t always easy to see from the ground, especially on pitched roofs or larger commercial buildings.

We’ll show you what we’ve found before the work starts and what the area looks like once the repair is finished. That might be a few photos from the roof, close-ups of any damage or where access is more difficult, drone images.

We can also point out:

  • What’s caused the problem
  • What we’ve repaired or replaced
  • Any nearby areas worth keeping an eye on
  • Whether the rest of the roof looks sound

You shouldn’t have to take our word for what’s been done. We’ll explain the issue clearly and show you the repair wherever it’s practical to do so.

We can also recommend additional services such as roof cleaning, which, without it, may lead to future damage.

Roof Repair FAQs

The exact figure will mainly depend on your roof type, the damage and how easy the area is to reach. A few slipped tiles cost far less than a commercial flat roof repair needing scaffolding, so we may need to inspect first for an accurate quote.

That depends on the urgency, location, weather and our availability. We prioritise issues such as active leaks, loose materials and exposed roof sections wherever possible.

It’s better to get it checked before it gets worse. Water can spread through insulation, timber and ceilings before the damage becomes obvious.

We repair tiled, slate and flat roofs, including GRP, felt, EPDM and single-ply systems. We also work on flashing, chimneys, rooflights, metal sheets and box gutters.

Not every repair needs it. It depends on the height of the property, the position of the damage and whether it can be reached safely another way.

Yes. We inspect the covering, flashing, junctions and drainage to trace the likely route of the water, and for hard-to-reach roofs, we may recommend a drone survey.

Available 365 Days a Year

Tell us what you’ve noticed, when it started and whether water’s still getting in. We’ll assess the roof, explain the problem, and provide a quote for the work needed.
