Roof repairs in Swansea, Neath & Llanelli

A leak, a slipped tile or a loose ridge rarely fixes itself, and the water does more damage every time it rains. Sammy comes out, gets up on the roof, finds what is letting the water in and shows you photos before he gives you a price.

Signs your roof needs a look

Damp patches or brown stains on a ceiling, especially after rain. Tiles or slates in the garden or gaps you can see from the street. Daylight in the loft. Crumbling mortar along the ridge. Gutters overflowing at one spot every time it rains.

Water often shows up a long way from where it gets in, so patching the spot above the stain doesn't always work. Sammy traces it back to the cause first.

Fixed quickly, explained properly

Speed is what our customers mention most: 27 of our 53 Checkatrade reviews talk about it. Small repairs are often done the same day or the next. Before anything starts, Sammy explains what is wrong and what it will cost. One Swansea customer was worried their bay window roof needed replacing; it needed a repair, and that's what they got.

  • RecommendVerified reviewer · Swansea SA2
    “Really helpful, and easy to book in to quote the work. The team put me at ease given the project I was anticipating. They provided a reasonable quote for the work they recommended to fix my bay window roof. I was worried about it being a bigger job and a full replacement but they did a great repair job. They were able to schedule the work in within a few days and provided a 10 year guarantee once the work was complete. They were really nice team and am happy with the work they've done. Id call them again for any roofing needs.”

Questions people ask

How much does a roof repair cost?

It depends on what is wrong and how easy it is to reach. Sammy won't guess over the phone: he comes out for free, finds the cause and gives you a clear price before any work starts.

How quickly can you come out?

Visits are Monday to Saturday, usually within 48 hours. Book online and pick the time that suits you, or call Sammy on 07508 711506 if water is coming in.

Do you do small jobs, like one slipped tile?

Yes. Plenty of our reviews are for a single tile or slate. No job is too small to come and look at.

Can you fix a repair another roofer got wrong?

Yes, and we're asked to fairly often. Several of our Checkatrade reviews are from people whose roof was still leaking after another firm's work.
