Tiled Roof Repairs & Ridge Re-Bedding in Slough

Most older homes in Slough and Maidenhead used a traditional sand and cement mortar to bed ridge tiles. Years of exposure to rain and frost cause this mortar to degrade and crack. Once the bond is broken, wind can get under the tiles and lift them. We can either re-bed them with fresh mortar or upgrade you to a modern dry-fix system that is far more durable.

For standard repairs where you are replacing tiles with a matching material, you generally do not need planning permission. However, many parts of Windsor and Datchet are designated conservation areas. In these locations, you must ensure any replacement clay tiles or slates match the existing roof exactly in terms of colour, size, and texture. If you are replacing more than 50% of the roof covering, we must also ensure the work complies with Building Regulations Part L regarding thermal insulation.

Yes. The valley is the internal "V" where two roof slopes meet, often lined with lead. This area is a common spot for leaks due to debris build-up or cracked leadwork. We can carefully remove the surrounding tiles, replace the lead valley or install a GRP liner, and then re-fit the tiles to make the area watertight again without the need for a full re-roof.

Concrete tiles are very common in post-war Slough housing; they are durable, larger, and cost-effective. Clay tiles, often found in historic Windsor or older parts of Uxbridge, are usually smaller and have a natural aesthetic that improves with age. Clay tiles can last longer but are more prone to "shaling" or flaking if they are low quality. We source the correct match for your specific property to ensure the repair is structurally sound and looks right.

We are very used to working in the narrow streets of the Thames Valley. Whether it is managing parking in a Windsor CPZ or coordinating a skip delivery in a tight Datchet lane, we handle the logistics to ensure the work causes as little disruption as possible to you and your neighbours.

Absolutely. No job is too small for High class roofing. A few broken or slipped tiles can lead to significant timber rot if left alone. We can quickly source matching tiles for your Slough or Maidenhead home and swap them out, ensuring the surrounding tiles are not disturbed and the roof remains secure.
