Ramsgate roof repairs – free quotes

The roofer was professional and on time. Fixed a small valley leak and replaced a few damaged slates. Price was fair and everything was explained clearly. Only reason it’s 4 stars is the first appointment had to be moved due to weather.

Mark Henderson

Glasgow

Good service overall. They inspected the roof, explained the issue around the chimney flashing and repaired it properly. It took a little longer to schedule than hoped, but the workmanship was solid and the leak has stayed gone.

David Thompson

Bristol

Brilliant service. The roofer explained the problem, showed photos of the damage, and fixed it quickly. They replaced broken tiles, checked the valleys, and made sure everything was watertight before leaving. Highly recommended.

James O’Connor

Manchester

We had water coming in during storms and couldn’t work out where from. The roofer traced it to flashing near the dormer and sealed it properly. Quick turnaround, polite team, and we’ve had zero issues since. Very happy.

Priya Patel

Leicester

Really impressed from start to finish. Fast response, straightforward quote, and the repair was done neatly. They replaced cracked tiles, checked the ridge, and even pointed out a gutter joint that needed attention. Great communication.

Emma Carter

Leeds

After the wind, we noticed tiles had slipped and the gutter was overflowing. They secured the tiles, repaired the ridge mortar, and re-fixed the guttering. Honest advice, no upselling, and the job looks really tidy.

Tom Bradley

Sheffield

Had a leak showing on the bedroom ceiling after heavy rain. The roofer arrived quickly, found a couple of slipped tiles and sorted it the same week. Clear quote, tidy work, and no mess left behind. Would definitely use again.

Sarah Wilkinson

Nottingham

Top service. They inspected the roof, gave a clear breakdown of costs, and carried out the repair without fuss. The leak has completely stopped and they even cleaned up debris from the gutters. Great value and very professional.

Alan Spencer

Southampton

We needed a small roof repair after spotting damp in the loft. The roofer found a gap near the verge and repaired it the same week. Friendly, efficient, and tidy. Would have been 5 stars if the initial response was a bit quicker.

Helen Murray

Newcastle upon Tyne

Good experience overall. They repaired a flat roof leak on our extension and replaced worn edging. Communication was good and they turned up when they said they would. A bit pricier than one quote, but you could tell the quality was there.

Trusted Roofing & Repair Teams in Ramsgate – Fast Response from Insured Local Roofers

Searching for reliable roofing help in Ramsgate? We’ll connect you with local roofers who handle the jobs UK homes most commonly need — from leak diagnosis and emergency patch repairs to new roof installs. We cover pitched and flat roofs, guttering issues, chimney faults, and the “small” defects that can quickly turn into damp, rot and costly internal damage.
All work is carried out by qualified contractors who serve Ramsgate and nearby areas, with a focus on safe access and workmanship that meets UK standards.

Roof Problems We See Most in Ramsgate

Roofs in Ramsgate take a beating from wind, driving rain, freeze-thaw cycles and general ageing. Add in older repairs or poor detailing, and small weaknesses show up fast. Typical problem areas include:

Slipped, cracked or missing tiles (ridge, hip and verge areas included)
Loose or damaged slate with failed fixings
Flat roof leaks from worn felt, split membranes or failed trims (Felt, EPDM, GRP fibreglass)
Lead flashing splits, lifting flashings and failed pointing around leadwork
Chimney stack cracks, failing mortar joints, flaunching issues and water ingress
Leaking gutters, broken joints, and rotten or damaged fascias & soffits
Valley and junction leaks (dormers, extensions, porches and abutments)
Storm damage, wind-lifted edges and emergency leaks after heavy weather
Condensation and ventilation problems causing damp or mould in the loft space
Velux or other roof window leaks from seals, flashing kits or poor installation

Most roof faults don’t fix themselves. Water can track through felt layers, soak timbers, stain ceilings and damage insulation. That’s why it’s worth using roofers who can diagnose the cause and repair it properly — not just cover it up.

Replacing broken/slipped tiles	£120 – £350
Flat roof repairs (per m²)	£40 – £90

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell if my roof in Ramsgate needs repair?

Look out for leaks, damp patches, slipped tiles, dripping gutters, damaged flashing, loose ridge tiles, or mould in the loft. If you’re unsure, a roofer can inspect and confirm the cause.

Can I fix my roof myself?

Small tasks like clearing a gutter may be doable, but most roof repairs involve height risks and correct detailing. Using trained professionals is usually safer and avoids mistakes that lead to bigger leaks.

How long do roofing repairs take?

Minor repairs can sometimes be completed in a visit, while larger work — like widespread tile replacement or flat roof renewal — may take a few days depending on access and time of the year.

Do I need planning consent for roofing repairs in Ramsgate?

Most standard repairs won’t require planning permission. However, major alterations (such as changing roof height, adding dormers, or certain loft conversion works) may need approval from Kent County Council and/or Building Control.

Miss B***n H***p on November 2025 | St. Lawrence Chase, RAMSGATE, CT11*** | b****p@h***.co.uk | Good morning, | I have recently purchased a new home and have noticed the polycarbomate roof with lead flashing is leaking during rainfall. I suspect the source to be either the flashing or one of the plastic ridges between the clear panels, as it appears cracked and warped upon inspection. | Just looking for a rough price for this to be repaired please, | Thanks, | Ben |

Ms A***l L***e on October 2024 | , Ramsgate, CT11*** | a****h@h***.com | I'm in the process of buying a house and the following has been highlighted in the building survey. Could you give me a quote please. I'll be using this to renegotiate the sale price with the seller. | | Front Elevation: CHIMNEY DESCRIPTION: There is brickwork to the multiple-flue chimney. Some of the flues serve other dwellings. | CONDITION SUMMARY: There are open chimney pots visible. In addition, one of the pots is missing which indicates the flue could be open. These defects could result in rainwater penetration causing damp patches to appear within the building. Birds can also become trapped in disused flues. It is therefore recommended that redundant flues are fitted with capping vents and that flues serving appliances are fitted with cowls, subject to the appropriate | specialist advice as mentioned under the heading of internal chimney. A closer inspection of the chimney can be made by the contractor, who should carry out any other necessary repairs that cannot be seen from ground level. Works to this part of the property are likely to require the erection of scaffolding. | CHIMNEY DESCRIPTION: Same as above. CONDITION SUMMARY: Some repointing is required. Repointing walls of the property, including chimneys,should be carried out with a lime-based mortar to allow the bricks to breathe and help prevent them from perishing easily. The brickwork should be raked out to a depth of 2cm, prior to any work being carried out, to create a good key for the new lime-based mortar. | REAR ELEVATION CHIMNEY DESCRIPTION: There is brickwork to the multiple-flue chimney to the rear outrigger. Some of the flues serve other dwellings. The open flue has been capped with a ridge tile.CONDITION SUMMARY: Dampness was recorded to the chimney breast in the bathroom below this stack. See internal chimney section. | Front Elevation: CONDITION SUMMARY: We observed perished bedding mortar to joints to the ridge tiles. Re-pointing the joint is often not adequate enough maintenance, as the bedding has normally perished beneath. We, therefore, recommend that you have the ridge tiles re-bedded in fresh cement mortar. The old cement will require removing from beneath the tiles prior to re-bedding. | ROOF DESCRIPTION: There is a bay roof to the living room.ROOF COVERING DESCRIPTION: There is a flat roof that has a covering of sheet lead.CONDITION SUMMARY: The lead flashing to the bay requires re-pointing to help prevent it from falling out.Flashings are important to help prevent damp penetration internally and rot to roofing timbers. | CONDITION SUMMARY: The roof covering is badly distorted and has reached the end of its useful life. You should, therefore, budget to replace the roof covering. This work should be carried out by a reputable roofing contractor. | Rear Elevation: ROOF DESCRIPTION: There is a pitched roof.ROOF COVERING DESCRIPTION: There is a roof covering of slate tiles. CONDITION SUMMARY: We observed a number of ‘roof tingles’ and distortion to the roof covering on the rear outrigger. Roof tingles are lead strips that have been installed to hold replaced slates in place as they slip due to the corrosion of the original nail fixing. This is generally an inherent issue, and other slates will begin to slip soon. This is an indication that the roof covering is nearing the end of its useful life. We would recommend that you budget to replace this roof covering. | If you could advise how much these issues would cost, how long it would take and how intrusive i.e. would we need to move out.
