Professional roof repairs in Reading
Searching for roofers in Reading usually starts with a problem you can see: a stain on a bedroom ceiling, a tile on the front path, damp beside the chimney breast. Homestyle Roofing & Building repairs pitched and flat roofs across Reading, from period tile and slate to modern felt and rubber.
Reading has Victorian terraces, interwar semis and newer estates, so no two repairs are quite alike. We find where the water is really getting in and tell you plainly what the roof needs.

Repair or replace? Honest advice either way
Plenty of Reading roofs have been patched more than once. Before we suggest anything bigger, we look at the whole roof, not only the section that failed, and give you a straight answer either way.
A repair is usually enough when
- The fault sits in one place, such as a few slipped tiles or a failed flashing
- The rest of the roof is sound for its age
- A repair will hold without paying for a new roof
Replacement makes more sense when
- The covering has reached the end of its life
- Problems keep turning up in different parts of the roof
- Patching it again would not be good value
How we decide
- 1
How old is it?
The age of the roof and what it is covered in.
- 2
How is the rest of it?
The state of the whole roof, from ridge to eaves.
- 3
Where is the water getting in?
The real cause, so the fix is the right one.
If a repair is the sensible answer, that is what we recommend. If the roof is close to the end of its life, we explain why and talk through a planned replacement without pressure.
Chimney repairs in Reading
Chimney stacks take a lot of weather, and on older Reading homes the first sign of trouble is often damp on the chimney breast or crumbling mortar high up on the stack. Weathered pointing, cracked flaunching and failed flashing are the usual causes, and each can let water track into the house.
We repoint and rebuild stacks, renew flaunching and pots, and replace the flashing where the stack meets the roof, matching brick and mortar as closely as we can. Where a chimney is no longer used, it can be capped and ventilated, or taken down and the roof made good.

How Much Do Roof Repairs Cost in Reading?
The cost of a repair depends on what we find once we have seen the roof, which is why we visit and assess before giving a price. You then receive an itemised written quote with no hidden extras before any work starts. On a Reading home, the price is mostly shaped by:
- the type of roof and what it is covered in, such as clay tile, concrete tile, slate or a flat roof system
- how much of the roof is affected, and whether the problem sits in one place or several
- whether a chimney, flashing or lead detail is involved
- how safely and easily the damaged area can be reached
- the cost of matching the materials already on the roof
Quotes are free and carry no obligation.
