Repair a roof or missing tiles: the basics
What the job involves
A roofer will inspect from a ladder, a roof hatch or a camera pole, find the slipped or broken tiles, failed flashing, cracked mortar or perished felt, and repair that area. Flat roofs are patched or re-covered; chimneys are repointed or have new flashing fitted. If the whole covering is at the end of its life they will tell you.
What to ask a pro, and what to have ready
Take photos of any leak inside and the roof from the ground. Ask for a written quote describing exactly what will be done and with what materials, whether scaffolding or a tower is needed, and whether they have public liability insurance. Ask for photos of the finished repair since you can't see it.
Safety and good to know
Don't go up on the roof or a ladder yourself to check: work at height is where most DIY injuries happen. Be wary of anyone who knocks on the door offering to fix your roof after spotting a problem. LincsDirectory doesn't vet or endorse businesses — always check credentials and get a written quote.

How do I know if my roof needs replacing rather than repairing?
A few slipped or broken tiles are a repair. Widespread cracked tiles, nails rusting through, sagging timbers or felt that crumbles when touched point to re-roofing. Get a written opinion and a second quote before committing.
