Roof repairs in Woking

Every roof repair, done properly

Pick the problem you have. Each page shows how Shane fixes it, real reviews from that kind of job and what it cost other customers.

Emergency roof repairs

Water through the ceiling, tiles in the garden after a storm, a hole where the ridge used to be. Shane runs a 24 hour call-out from Brookwood and makes the roof watertight the same day, then comes back to fix it properly. In Guildford he made a free temporary repair before the customer had even agreed to use him.

See emergency roof repairs

Roof leak repairs

A wet patch on the ceiling is rarely under the gap. Water runs down the felt and along the rafters before it drips. Shane checks the loft side first, follows the marks back up, then finds the cracked tile, failed flashing or split valley above it and shows you the photos.

See roof leak repairs

Dry ridge and verge repairs

Mortar on ridges and verges cracks with frost and drops out in lumps. Shane rebeds them or swaps them for dry ridge and dry verge systems that are screwed down and never need repointing. In Brookwood a failed ridge was leaking into every room; a dry ridge system stopped it.

See dry ridge and verge repairs

Roof valley repairs

Valleys carry the water from two roof slopes, so a split lead valley or a blocked valley tray floods fast. Shane renews valleys in lead or as a dry valley system, and it is a job he finishes in a day.

See roof valley repairs

Roof inspections

Buying a house, selling one or worried about a stain: Shane goes up, checks the tiles, ridge, flashings, valleys and loft, and reports back with photos. One Sandhurst buyer was not even at the address and still had the results the same day.

See roof inspections

Also repaired: roof windows, moss damage, corrugated and polycarbonate roofs

How Shane does it

How do you find where a roof leak is coming from?

He starts in the loft. Water marks on the rafters and felt show where it is getting in, and they rarely line up with the stain on your ceiling. Then he goes up and checks the tiles, ridge, verges, valleys and flashings above that spot.

When he finds it, he photographs it and talks you through the fix and the price before anything is touched. The repair is done with matching tiles, new lead or a dry fix system, never a smear of sealant that fails next winter.

  • Loft and roof both checked
  • Photos and videos of the fault
  • Your options explained, with prices
  • Matching tiles and new lead, no bodges
  • Debris cleared the same day

Around Woking

Which roof faults does Shane fix most around Woking?

Around Woking the same faults come up again and again: mortar ridges cracking on 1960s and 70s estates, felt perishing at the eaves of interwar semis, and lead flashings lifting where extensions meet the main roof. Shane has fixed them across Woking, Knaphill, Brookwood, Pirbright and Guildford, and the reviews on this page are from those jobs.

Roof repair questions, answered

The questions Woking homeowners ask Shane on the phone, with straight answers from real jobs.

Can my roof be repaired instead of replaced?

Most of the time, yes. A roof needs replacing when the battens are rotten and the felt has perished right across it. One cracked ridge, a few slipped tiles, a split valley or a lifted flashing is a repair, and Shane quotes for the repair.

In Brookwood two firms had quoted substantial work at a huge cost for an overnight leak in a guest room. Shane found the fault in the valley and his team fixed it within a day, at a fraction of those quotes. Georgia Taylor wrote on Google that he helped her steer away from spending thousands on a replacement another firm had recommended.

How much does a roof repair cost in Woking?

These are prices McDermott customers reported on Checkatrade after the job: £250 to £350 for a chimney render repair in Ash, £1,300 to £1,700 to refelt and relay part of a roof in Bagshot, £2,200 to £2,800 for a dry ridge system in Brookwood and £4,400 to £5,400 for roof and porch repairs in Woking.

Your repair is priced on what Shane finds, the access and the materials. He sees the roof first, then gives you a fixed written price, and the visit and quote are free.

See every real McDermott price band

What happens on an emergency call-out?

Ring 07858 459 392. Shane runs a 24 hour call-out from Brookwood, and Woking and Guildford customers describe him arriving within 20 minutes to an hour. The first job is to stop the water with a temporary repair that makes the roof watertight. In Guildford, GU2, he made that temporary fix at no charge before the customer had even agreed to use him.

Then he finds the cause, shows you the photos and books the proper repair, often for the next day. A Worplesdon customer had an emergency roof repair carried out over a weekend.

Emergency roof repairs

Why is my ceiling wet when the tiles look fine?

Because water rarely drips straight down. It gets in at a cracked ridge, a split valley or a lifted flashing, runs down the felt and along a rafter, and only drops onto the ceiling a metre or more away. Condensation in a badly ventilated loft can look like a leak too.

That is why Shane checks the loft side first, follows the water marks back up to the roof and only then lifts tiles. In Brookwood a failed ridge was letting water into every room of a house; a new dry ridge system stopped it, and the customer has had no issue since.

Roof leak repairs

How long does a roof repair take?

A slipped tile or a single cracked ridge tile is done on the first visit. The Brookwood valley leak was fixed within a day. A Woking garage roof quoted on a Saturday afternoon was repaired on the Monday, and a Bracknell dry ridge repair was quoted one afternoon and finished the next day.

Bigger jobs, such as relaying part of a roof or a run of new lead, take longer, and Shane puts the timescale in writing with your quote.

Roof and Porch Repairs

Shane and his team were absolutely brilliant. My mum needed roof repairs before moving into her new home. Shane ensured he came out asap to assess the works required. He provided an honest and good value quote. His communications throughout were excellent and always puts the customer first. He took videos and pictures to share progress and the need for works. He was very accommodating to a last minute change. Seriously one of the best traders I've come across. Thanks so much again to a very happy customer

I literally can't thank Shane enough for quickly coming to the rescue over my leaking roof. He was absolutely brilliant and I mean BRILLIANT. Polite, reasonable, reliable, tidy and prioritised his workload to make sure I wasn't left another day worrying. I highly recommend Shane, he is a sincere and honest (very rare) workman and I am very grateful for how quickly he was able to fix the problem. Thank you Shane.

Straight answers

Roof repair questions

Can you fix my roof the same day?

For a leak, Shane makes the roof watertight the same day and books the full repair for the next free slot, which is often the next day. Small repairs such as a slipped tile are done on the first visit.

Do you guarantee roof repairs?

Every McDermott job is guaranteed. Ask Shane for the terms on your repair when he quotes.

Do you repair flat roofs and garage roofs too?

Yes. Flat roof repairs, garage roofs and summerhouse roofs are all part of Shane's repair work. A Woking customer had a long-term damp problem from a flat roof resolved in 24 hours.
