ROOF REPAIRS IN MANCHESTER.
Leaking roofs, slipped or missing slates and tiles, failed flashings and storm damage. ADI Roofing Team Manchester repairs the fault and gives you honest advice on whether a repair is enough.
Roof repairs in Manchester, from one slipped tile to a leak you cannot trace
A small fault on a roof rarely stays small. A slipped slate or a cracked flashing lets water into the roof structure, and the first sign is often a damp patch on a ceiling, a stain on a chimney breast or a drip in the loft.
ADI Roofing Team Manchester carries out roof repairs on pitched, slate, tile and flat roofs. That includes tracing leaks, replacing damaged slates and tiles, repairing ridges, hips and valleys, renewing flashings and leadwork, and sorting out guttering, fascias and soffits.
If water is coming in now, call 07518 344580 and say where you can see it. Describe what you can see from inside and outside, and ask about availability.

WHAT WE REPAIR
COMMON ROOF PROBLEMS
Signs to look out for. If you notice any of these, describe what you can see and ask for advice.
01
Leaking roofs
Damp patches, drips or stains on ceilings and walls. The leak is often some distance from where the water shows.
02
Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
Pieces that have moved, split or blown off, or fragments in the gutters or on the ground.
03
Failed flashings and leadwork
Staining around a chimney, or where a roof meets a wall, dormer or roof window.
04
Damaged ridge and hip tiles
Loose or cracked ridge tiles and crumbling mortar along the top of the roof.
05
Storm damage
Lifted slates and tiles, displaced ridges and damaged gutters after high winds.
06
Gutters, fascias and soffits
Overflowing, sagging or dripping gutters and rotten boards, which let water into the roof edge.
THE WORK
WHAT A ROOF REPAIR INVOLVES
Every roof is different, so the repair depends on what is causing the problem.
Finding the cause
The first job is to work out where the water is getting in. A stain on the ceiling rarely sits directly under the fault, so the roof, the loft and the surrounding details are all part of the picture.
Replacing slates and tiles
Damaged or missing slates and tiles are replaced and the surrounding area is checked, so one repair does not leave a weak spot next to it.
Ridges, hips and valleys
Loose ridge and hip tiles are re-bedded or refixed, and valleys are cleared and repaired where they are letting water through.
Flashings and leadwork
Failed flashings around chimneys, walls and roof windows are repaired or renewed, a common cause of leaks that are hard to spot from the ground. Chimney repairs and leadwork has more detail.
YOUR OPTIONS
REPAIR OR REPLACE?
A repair is not always the right answer, and ADI will tell you if it is not.
When a repair can be enough
Often enough when the damage is limited and the rest of the roof is in reasonable condition: a few slipped tiles, a failed section of flashing or a localised leak.
When replacement is worth discussing
Worth discussing when repairs keep coming back, the covering is failing across large areas or the structure beneath is affected. See roof replacement in Manchester.

FAQS
Questions homeowners ask
Quick answers. Call if yours is not here.
Prefer to talk it through?
How quickly can a roof leak be looked at?
Call 07518 344580 and describe where the water is coming in. Timings depend on the job and the weather, so ask when you call.
Do you offer emergency roof repair in Manchester?
If water is coming in now, call 07518 344580 straight away, say where it is entering and ask about availability. Move belongings out of the way and, if it is safe, catch drips with a bucket.
Can a roof be repaired in wet weather?
Some temporary protection may be possible in bad weather, but permanent repairs usually need dry conditions. Ask for advice when you call.
What should I tell you about the problem?
Where it is, what you can see inside and outside, when you first noticed it and your postcode. Photos from the ground or a window help. Please do not climb onto the roof.
What if more damage is found during the work?
Ask any roofer to tell you before doing extra work, and to agree it with you first.
Is a roof repair covered by home insurance?
It depends on your policy and what caused the damage, for example a storm. Check your policy and keep photos of the damage.
