Most roof repairs are small, quick jobs if they are caught early. These are typical High Wycombe prices for the repairs we are asked about most, so you can budget and check any quote you are given.
Slipped, cracked and missing tiles
Replacing a few slipped or broken tiles or slates from a ladder or roof ladder costs about £150 to £450. The price rises with height and access: a third-storey slope needs scaffold or a tower.
Ridge and hip tiles
Re-bedding or dry-fixing a run of ridge tiles costs about £300 to £900. Cracked ridge mortar is one of the most common faults on post-war roofs round High Wycombe, and it lets water straight in at the top of the roof.
Lead and chimneys
New lead flashing round a chimney runs about £400 to £950, repointing a stack with new flaunching about £500 to £1,500 and a new lead valley about £600 to £1,500.
Flat roof repairs
A split or blister on a flat roof can be patched if the deck underneath is sound. If the deck has gone soft, the roof needs re-covering: about £1,000 to £2,500 for a single garage or porch.
Gutters
Resealing a leaking joint or replacing a bracket costs about £80 to £220. Clearing blocked gutters on a semi costs about £70 to £150.
Small jobs are worth doing
A slipped tile left for a winter lets water into the battens and felt, and a cheap repair becomes an expensive one. Francesca's review: "Even though the job was small, he was willing to take it on without hesitation." Ring Pat on 01494 292776.

Questions
Is it worth repairing an old roof?
Yes, if the felt is sound and the problem is local. If the felt has perished and the leaks keep moving, a new roof is the better spend.
Does home insurance cover roof repairs?
Storm damage is often covered; wear and tear is not. We photograph the damage and give you a written quote for your insurer.
How quickly can a repair be done?
