Complete roofing service
Apex Forge Roofing inspects the roof, identifies the source of the issue and recommends the right repair or replacement. Roof problems are often connected: a blocked gutter can push water under tiles, a cracked slate can soak felt, and damaged flashing can look like a chimney leak. We look at the whole roofline so the work solves the problem properly.
Emergency roof repairs
For sudden leaks, storm damage, missing tiles, lifted ridge pieces or water entering the property, call the mobile number. Emergency work focuses on making the roof safe, stopping active water entry where possible and planning the correct permanent repair.
- Leak tracing and temporary weather protection
- Storm-damaged tiles, slates and ridge areas
- Urgent flashing, valley and roofline checks
- Clear advice on what needs immediate action
Damaged tiles and slate replacement
Broken, slipped or missing tiles and slates should be dealt with quickly. One small opening can allow rain into the felt, battens and roof timbers. Apex Forge Roofing replaces damaged roof coverings, checks surrounding fixings and makes sure the repair blends neatly with the existing roof.
Flat roofs and flat roof repairs
Flat roofs need clean falls, sealed edges, sound decking and properly detailed outlets. We repair splits, ponding issues, failed edges, upstands and leaks around doors, walls and outlets. Where repair is no longer sensible, we can advise on a new flat roof finish.
New roofs
For roofs that are beyond patch repairs, Apex Forge Roofing can advise on a new roof. This can include stripping the old covering, checking the deck or structure, replacing felt and battens, installing tiles or slates and finishing the ridge, verge, flashing and gutter line properly.
Felt and batten replacement
Felt and battens sit beneath the roof covering and are vital for weather protection. If they are rotten, torn, sagging or no longer holding fixings, replacing them can prevent recurring leaks and give the roof covering a secure base.
Chimney repairs
Chimneys are common leak points because they involve brickwork, pointing, flaunching, lead flashing and roof junctions. We check the visible chimney condition, surrounding flashing and nearby tiles or slates before recommending repair work.
Moss removal and roof cleaning
Moss holds moisture, blocks gutters and can push into laps and channels. Roof cleaning and moss removal can improve drainage and appearance, especially when paired with gutter cleaning. The method depends on the roof type and condition.
Roofing FAQs
Do I need a repair or a new roof?
That depends on the age, condition and spread of the damage. A few isolated tiles may only need repair, while widespread felt, batten or covering failure may make replacement better value.
Can you help with an active leak?
Yes. Call the mobile number for urgent roof leaks. The first aim is to reduce further water entry and identify the permanent repair needed.
Will roof cleaning damage tiles?
The cleaning method should suit the roof. Older, fragile or badly weathered roofs need more care and should be assessed before any cleaning begins.
