Genuine project
A completed slate roof by our team
Roof repairs across Colchester
Stop water at the roof before it reaches the room below.
Missing tiles, failing flashing and worn roof details can all let in more water than the visible stain suggests. An early inspection can keep a focused repair from turning into wider internal damage.
Damp patches after rainfall
A mark on a ceiling often begins with a small opening much higher up the roof.
Loose tiles or exposed gaps
Storms can shift individual tiles and leave the membrane or roof space open to rain.
Cracked mortar or tired leadwork
Junctions around chimneys and walls need sound detailing to remain weather-tight.
Find the entry point first
A lasting repair starts with an accurate diagnosis.
- The surrounding roof is checked, not only the damp patch
- The proposed repair is explained in plain language
- You know the scope and cost before we begin

Call ShaneNew tiled and slate roofs
Renew the entire roof, not only the surface you see.
When an older roof needs one repair after another, replacing the complete covering can provide a more dependable and easier-to-budget route forward.
If a targeted repair still offers the better answer, Shane will say so.
A complete roof build-up
Good roofing is built from the structure outwards.
- Removing the old covering allows the roof deck and timbers to be examined properly
- The membrane, battens and fixings are selected to work together beneath the finish
- Ridges, verges, valleys and abutments are completed as part of the same roof system
- Assess
Understand the condition
We compare the value of further repairs with the benefit of renewing the roof.
- Plan
Confirm every detail
Materials, roof details and the full scope are set out before the job is booked.
- Renew
Install as one system
Each visible and hidden layer is completed and checked before handover.
Flat roof repairs and renewal
Keep garages, extensions and outbuildings dry in every season.
Flat roofs rely on the falls, outlets and perimeter details working together. We look beyond the obvious split to understand where water is collecting and how it is getting beneath the covering.
- 01
Standing water remains long after the rain has stopped
- 02
Seams, edges or the main covering are lifting and cracking
- 03
Old patches keep failing in new places across the roof
Let us know the roof type, where it sits and what happens when it rains.
The practical choice
Repair and replacement should be weighed on condition, not guesswork.
- Preserve the existing covering when a sound repair remains practical
- Recommend renewal when another patch would be poor value
- Review outlets, upstands and perimeter details as part of the roof
