roof inspections
Anything from replacing slipped or broken tiles and slates, to re-sealing flashings, fixing valleys, repairing ridge and verge, and tracing and stopping leaks. The aim is to put the damaged part of the roof back to a sound, watertight state.
Homeowners with a leak or a stain on the ceiling, anyone who has noticed tiles in the garden after a windy night, landlords dealing with tenant reports, and businesses that need a leak stopped without disruption.
As soon as you notice a drip, damp patch, missing tile, cracked mortar on the ridge, or daylight in the loft. Small faults are quick to fix. Left alone, they let water into the timbers and the cost goes up.
Water travels. The stain on your ceiling is often a metre or more from where water actually gets in. Stephen has 10 years of experience tracing leaks to their source, so you pay to fix the cause, not to repeat the job.
Most roof damage starts with one slipped tile or one cracked flashing. What turns it into an expensive job is time.
Water soaks insulation, stains ceilings and can bring plasterboard down if it's left long enough.
Battens and rafters that stay wet will rot, turning a simple tile repair into structural work.
One loose tile lets wind get underneath its neighbours. The next storm lifts more.
Water near loft wiring, light fittings and junction boxes is a genuine hazard.
Sealant as a fix
Smearing sealant over a crack might stop the drip for a few weeks, but it rarely deals with why water got in.
Fixing where the stain is
Repairing the area above a damp patch without tracing the leak often misses the real source.
Climbing up yourself
Roofs are dangerous, and walking on tiles without knowing where to step can crack more than you fix.
Step 1
Stephen checks the roof outside and, where needed, the loft inside to see where water is getting in.
Step 2
He follows the water back to its source and explains what's failed and why.
Step 3
You get a straight answer on what the repair involves and what it will cost before anything starts.
Step 4
Stephen completes the repair himself using materials matched to your existing roof.
Step 5
The repair is checked, the area cleared, and you're told exactly what guarantee applies to that type of repair.
Tracing leaks to their source means you're not paying for the same repair twice.
Emergency call-outs are available 24 hours a day for active leaks and storm damage.
If a repair is enough, that's what you'll be told. A new roof is only suggested when it's genuinely needed.
Tiles, slates and fixings are matched to your roof so the repair blends in.
You speak to the roofer doing the work, not a call centre.
Legacy Roofing carries £1m public liability insurance.
These are common repairs Stephen carries out on homes and commercial properties around Wokingham, Bracknell and the wider area.
Tiles slip when their nails corrode or battens rot, and crack from frost or impact. They're replaced and refixed to match the surrounding roof. If several tiles are slipping in the same area, Stephen checks the battens underneath, because that's usually the real cause.
High winds lift tiles, ridge and verge, and falling branches can break through. After a storm the priority is making the roof watertight, then repairing it properly. Emergency call-outs are available around the clock.
Lead and other flashings where the roof meets walls, chimneys and dormers can split, lift or lose their seal. Re-dressing or replacing the flashing stops water running down inside the wall.
Valleys carry large volumes of water off two roof slopes. Blocked, cracked or worn valleys are a common source of leaks and are cleared, repaired or relined as needed.
Mortar on ridges and verges cracks and falls out over time, leaving tiles loose. These can be re-bedded or upgraded to dry ridge and dry verge systems, which don't rely on mortar.
On homes, the focus is stopping water reaching living spaces. On commercial buildings, repairs are planned to keep the premises working. Both get the same diagnosis-first approach.
When you are looking for someone to handle roof repairs on your property, the biggest risk is not the materials. It is not knowing who will actually turn up, whether they will do what they said, and who you can call if something is not right afterwards. Legacy Roofing removes that uncertainty by keeping everything with one person. Stephen Farrow inspects your roof, explains what he has found, gives you the price, does the work and stands behind it.
Many roofing firms send a salesperson to quote and a different crew to do the job. Details get lost between the two, and you end up repeating yourself. Because Legacy Roofing is a solo business, the conversation you have at the inspection is the same one the roofer on your roof remembers. If you have a question halfway through, you ask the person doing the work.
Every job starts with a free, no-obligation roof inspection. Stephen will tell you plainly what is wrong, what it needs, and what it does not need. If a smaller repair will solve the problem, that is what he will recommend. You will know what is included in the price before any work begins, so there are no awkward surprises at the end.
Stephen has 10 years of hands-on roofing experience on domestic and commercial properties. Legacy Roofing holds £1 million public liability insurance, every new roof carries a 10-year guarantee, and repair guarantees are explained clearly for the specific work carried out. If water is coming in, a 24-hour emergency call-out service means you are not left waiting until Monday.
Stephen arrives when he says he will. Before starting, he walks you through the plan again so you know which parts of the roof he will be working on and roughly how long each stage should take. Access is set up safely, and anything that could be affected around the property, such as paths, plants or parked cars, is considered before work begins. While the job is under way, you can ask questions at any point, and if something unexpected turns up once the roof is opened, he will show you and talk it through before going any further. Nothing extra is added without your agreement.
When the work is finished, Stephen checks it over, clears away old materials and debris, and explains what has been done and which guarantee applies. You are left with a roof that has been looked after properly, a clear record of the work, and the direct number of the roofer who did it, should you ever need him again.
