The Victorian terraces and 1930s semis, chalk escarpment suburb means different repair profiles across different streets. On older properties: lead valley and flashing failures, lime mortar recession, clay tile displacement. On post-war and estate housing: nail sickness tile slippage, ridge mortar recession, flat roof failures on rear extensions. We carry materials for all of these on the van and can typically complete minor repairs on the first visit.

📞 0172 223 9611Most repair calls in Salisbury come from one of a handful of failures — and spotting which one you have tells you whether it's a quick fix or the start of something bigger.
When it is not the answer: If tiles are slipping in rows across a whole slope rather than one or two spots, patching tile-by-tile is money wasted — that's nail sickness, and a re-roof is the honest fix. Read the full guide.
We inspect the roof inside and out — covering, fixings, flashings, valleys and the loft — and photograph the fault so you can see exactly what we've found.
You get an itemised written quote the same or next day: the specific repair, materials, access and price. No lump sums.
Most repairs are booked within days; genuine emergencies get a same-day make-safe.
We carry out the repair with matching materials — flexible mortar on ridges, Code 5 lead on valleys, correctly bedded replacement tiles.
We sheet below the work, clear debris, and hand over the workmanship guarantee before we leave.
| Job | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Slipped or cracked tiles | 1–2 hours |
| Failed flashing or small leak | Half a day |
| Rear valley rebuild | 2–3 days |
| Localised structural repair | 2–4 days |
High wind or heavy rain pauses tiling and lead work — we build weather margin into every booking.
Most repairs run from roof ladders or a tower. Scaffold is specified for: chimney-side repairs, full valley rebuilds and anything needing a day or more of safe standing time at height - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
A mix of Victorian villas and inter-war and post-war housing close to the Cathedral view; some period stock. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Wiltshire Council; allow a few working days on streets like the older lanes off Harnham Road near the watermeadows where space is tight.
| Job | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Slipped/cracked tile refix | £150–£250 | Per visit incl. access |
| Small leak / flashing repair | £180–£450 | Depends on location on roof |

| Ridge re-bed (per metre) | £40–£70 | Flexible mortar |
