The roofs in Scunthorpe
The town sits in open country with the Trent to the west and the Wolds to the east, so there is less shelter than the built up streets suggest. That shows up at the ridge and the verge first, and on the exposed elevation of anything on the edge of an estate.
Scunthorpe's housing is largely twentieth century, so a great many of its roofs are concrete interlocking tile laid on felt, all reaching the end of their fixings around the same time.
Most roof repairs in Scunthorpe start with one slipped tile. The real question is whether it is one tile or the first of many, and on a fifty year old concrete tile roof it is very often the second. We will tell you which, with photographs, before you spend anything.
What roof repairs in Scunthorpe involves
- ValleysCracked, perished or badly formed valleys re-lined so the busiest part of the roof stops leaking.
- Ridge and vergeLoose ridge tiles re-bedded and repointed, or converted to a mechanically fixed dry system so it does not come loose again.
- Leak tracingLoft inspection, roof level inspection and, where it helps, water testing to find where the water is actually getting in.
That is the short version. There is a fuller explanation of the work, the materials and the detailing on our roof repairs page.
Signs your Scunthorpe property needs this
- Water tracking down inside an external wall near the roof line
- Drips in the loft during driving rain but not in still, steady rain
- A ceiling stain that grows after every spell of heavy rain
Where roof leaks actually come from
In our experience the usual culprits, roughly in order, are flashings around chimneys and abutments, valleys, slipped tiles or slates, failed ridge and verge mortar, and perished underlay. Chimneys account for a large share of them, because the lead there has more joints, more movement and more weather than anywhere else on the roof.

FAQs
Roof repairs in Scunthorpe, questions we get asked
Do you do insurance work?
Yes. We make safe, photograph the damage and put together the scope insurers ask for, then carry out the permanent repair once it is approved.
Why does my roof only leak in certain rain?
That normally points to wind driven rain getting under the covering rather than a hole through it. It leaks in a storm from one direction and stays dry in ordinary rain, which usually means the underlay or a flashing rather than the tiles.
Do you cover Scunthorpe?
Yes. Scunthorpe is covered by our Scunthorpe office on 01724 514 178, and roof repairs is one of the services we run there every week. We also cover Bottesford and Flixborough from the same office.
How quickly can you get to Scunthorpe for roof repairs?
Ring the Scunthorpe office on 01724 514 178 and we will give you a real date rather than a flattering one. Scunthorpe is in the middle of our Scunthorpe patch, so it is part of that team's normal patch.
Can you do other work while you are on the roof in Scunthorpe?
Yes, and it usually saves money. Once access is up, picking up the guttering, a chimney or a valley costs the labour and materials rather than a second lot of scaffold.
Do I pay anything up front?
Payment terms are set out in the written quote before you agree to anything, so there are no surprises.
