Small roof problems grow fast. A cracked tile today can become a rotten timber next winter. We fix problems early, for both residential roof repairs and commercial roof repairs.
Water often enters the roof far from the stain you see. We trace the leak to its source, so you do not pay for the same repair twice. Then we fix the cause, not just the symptom. We check the nearby tiles, flashing and timbers as well, so one repair does not hide a second problem.
Wind lifts tiles, and age cracks them. We replace broken, missing and slipped tiles, and we match your existing roof as closely as we can. Most tile problems need only a targeted repair, so you do not need a whole new roof. We also check the underlay and battens beneath the tiles.
Flat roofs fail in different ways from pitched roofs. Felt cracks, joints open and water pools. We repair felt and EPDM rubber roofs, and we fix the drainage problems that cause leaks. Good drainage protects your flat roof for years.
Strong winds loosen ridge tiles and strip tiles away. We re-bed and replace ridge tiles and repair other storm damage quickly. After a big storm, we also check the rest of the roof, because hidden damage often shows up weeks later.
Gaps around a chimney let rain in. We repair damaged lead flashing and chimney flashing, and we fix valleys and other leadwork. We also handle chimney repairs when the stack itself needs attention.
Many roof problems hide from view. Catch them early, and you pay less to fix them.
Brown stains, damp patches and peeling paint often point to water ingress. A musty smell in the loft says the same thing. Do not wait for the drip. Call us, and we will inspect the roof for free.
Look at your roof from the ground. Do you see gaps, cracked or slipped tiles, or loose ridge tiles? Do you see lead flashing that has lifted? Each of these lets rain in. Do not climb up to check, because roofs are slippery and dangerous.
Puddles that stay for days mean your flat roof has a drainage problem. Cracked felt, blisters and soft spots point to wear. Water-damaged roof timbers are the next step, and they cost far more to fix. A quick repair now stops that.
A leak at night or a storm-damaged roof cannot wait. We offer 24/7 emergency call-outs for storm damage and leaks.
When you call, we ask what happened and how much water is coming in. We then judge how urgent the problem is. If water pours in, we treat it as an emergency.
Here is what you can do while you wait:
We may need to protect your roof first with temporary cover, such as sheeting over damaged areas. That stops more water getting in. Then we plan the full repair. Emergency work may carry a call-out charge, and we tell you the cost before we start.
Every roof is different, so we do not quote prices over the phone. We explain what changes the final cost instead.
A few loose tiles cost much less than a damaged valley or a failing flat roof. The size of the damage matters most. Material costs matter too. Slate, clay tiles, felt and EPDM all cost different amounts. Labour costs depend on how long the job takes.
Some roofs are easy to reach. Others need scaffolding, which adds cost. Steep pitches, tall houses and tricky chimneys also make repairs harder. We look at all of this during your free roof inspection. Then we give you a written, itemised quote with fixed pricing, so no surprises appear later.
Most people fear one thing: a big bill for a new roof they did not need. We give honest advice, even when the answer is a small repair.
A targeted repair works well when damage stays in one area. A few slipped tiles, a worn patch of flashing or one leak are all good examples. These repairs fix the problem and cost far less.
Replacement makes more sense when damage spreads across the roof. Many leaks, widespread cracked tiles or rotten roof timbers suggest the roof has reached the end of its life. In that case, repeated repairs waste money. We show you what we found and explain both options. You decide, with no pressure.
You let roofers into your home, so you need to trust them. Here is what sets us apart.
Roofers working on your property are fully insured, which protects you if anything unexpected happens during the job. Health and safety checks, including a proper risk assessment, are carried out before work begins, particularly for jobs that involve scaffolding or working at height.
The materials used for a repair or replacement affect how long it lasts. Natural slate, interlocking tiles, and flat roofing membranes each have different strengths and are suited to different types of roof. Choosing the right one for the job, rather than the cheapest option available, tends to reduce how often repairs are needed later.
Here is roughly what happens from the first call to the finished job.

Sure Shield Roofing is based in Reading, Berkshire. We take on roof repairs in Guildford, Surrey, and we bring the same standards to every job.

Guildford has many older homes. Older roofs often need extra care, because worn tiles, old flashing and tired timbers fail more easily. Wind-driven rain and heavy rainfall add to the strain. We check the whole roof, so we spot the weak points before they leak.
FAQ's
It depends on the size and type of damage. A single slipped tile costs far less to fix than a section of roof that has been letting water in for months. A free quote after the inspection will give you an exact figure before any work starts, rather than a rough guess.
Signs to look out for include damp patches on ceilings, tiles that are missing or out of place, sagging areas, and daylight visible in the loft. Age is only one part of the picture. A roof’s condition, the materials used, how well it has been maintained, and any previous repairs all affect whether a repair will do the job or a replacement makes more sense. An inspection is the most reliable way to tell.
Smaller repairs, such as a few tiles or a section of flashing, can often be finished in a day. Larger jobs, like a full roof replacement, take longer and depend on the size of the roof and the weather at the time. A rough timeframe is given as part of the quote.
Yes. Storm damage and leaks are treated as a priority, since water getting into a roof space tends to cause more damage the longer it is left. The first step is usually making the roof secure, with any further repair work planned once that immediate issue is dealt with.
