Hessle, East Yorkshire
Leaks, slipped slates, cracked tiles and failed flashings. We come out, find the cause, and repair it, including maintenance and insurance work.
In plain terms
A stain on the ceiling is the symptom. The cause is usually a slipped slate, a cracked tile, a failed flashing, a gutter joint, or mortar missing from a chimney. Water can run along a rafter before it drips, so the mark indoors is not always directly under the hole.
We come out and look, including after wind and driving rain, which is when many leaks around Hessle and Hull first show. The repair is the cause, not a tube of mastic over the stain. If an insurer is involved, we set out what we found and what needs doing so it is clear.
We do this from Hessle, across Hull, Beverley, Anlaby and Anlaby Common, Willerby, Woodmansey and the villages in between. Call 01482 627895 or use the form further down. We look at the roof before we price it. A written quote is available if you want one, and the work we agree is guaranteed for at least 12 months, and often for longer depending on the job.

The job
On the board
Matching slates and tiles where we can get them, lead or a suitable flashing, and mortar that suits the stack. We do not cover a leak with sealant and call it finished.
Before you call
Straight answers about roof repairs for houses in Hessle, Hull, Beverley and the villages around them.
Catch what you can in a bucket and call 01482 627895. Tell us which room, whether it happens in wind, and the postcode. We will say when we can come and look. Sealing the ceiling from inside hides the leak and does not stop it.
One slate, a short run of tiles, a flashing or a piece of gutter is a normal job. If the rest of the slope is failing we will say so. We will not turn a small repair into a new roof unless the roof needs it.
Wind drives rain up under a slate, into a valley, or through a flashing that still looks stuck from the ground. We look at those junctions, not only at the middle of the slope.
If an insurer is involved, we set the work out clearly: what we found, and what we propose to repair. We do not invent a claim, and we do not decide what a policy covers. That stays with you and the insurer.
Yes. Slipped courses, blocked gutters and loose pointing are cheaper to sort before the next storm. Call us and we will tell you whether a visit is worth it.
