A few slipped or cracked tiles can be repaired. When the problems are spread across the whole roof, patching one area at a time stops being good value, and a re-roof becomes the sensible option.
A re-roof means stripping the old covering back to the rafters and building the roof up again with new underlay, new battens and a new covering of slate or tiles. With the roof open, the timbers can be seen properly before it is covered again.

After dealing with a lot of roofers, several of them who seemed to be complete cowboys I am so glad that we went with H&M roofing. Tom and Jack were brilliant communicators, punctual and considerate.
5 Star service from H&M Roofing! Tom came and done a quote outside of his working hours to accommodate us. Quote was sent over email really quickly and the work was booked in. Great prices for all work completed.
We had water pouring in through our lounge ceiling on a Sunday afternoon during storm Darragh. I called H&M Roofing and Tom came out within 20 minutes to assess the situation.
