What we do
Roofing services in Wakefield
Four things cover nearly every call we get. Whichever it is, you deal with the roofers who will be on your roof, not a call centre.
Emergency Roof Repair
Storm damage or water coming through the ceiling? Call us. We make the roof safe and watertight first, then fix it properly.

When repairs stop being good value, we strip the old roof and fit new membrane, battens, tiles or slates and a dry-fixed ridge.

New roofs for extensions, loft conversions, garages and outbuildings, from the timbers up to the last ridge tile.

Does your roof need a repair?
Roofs rarely fail all at once. They give warnings, and most of them can be seen from the garden or the loft hatch. If you recognise any of these, it is worth having a roofer take a look before the next spell of heavy rain.
- Slipped, cracked or missing tiles or slates
- Gaps along the ridge, or bits of mortar in the gutters
- A damp patch on a ceiling or chimney breast that grows after rain
- Flashing that has lifted away from a chimney or wall
- Daylight, drips or dark stained timbers in the loft
- A roof line that dips or sags between the gable ends
Repair or replace? A straight answer
Where the damage is in one place and the rest of the roof is sound, a roof repair is nearly always the better value, and that is what we will quote for.
Where tiles are failing across whole slopes or the felt has perished, we will show you why patching would be money wasted and price a roof replacement instead.
Either way you get the reasoning as well as the price. Ring 07949 221483 to arrange a free quote.

Had a new kitchen fitted by RPM. Good workmanship at a fair price, and the final bill matched the quote. A professional finish, and I would happily recommend them.

FAQs
Roof repair questions, answered
The questions Wakefield homeowners ask us most before booking a roofer.
How much does a roof repair cost in Wakefield?
It depends on what has failed and how easy it is to reach. Refitting a few slipped tiles is a small job. Rebuilding a valley, renewing the flashing around a chimney or re-bedding a whole ridge takes longer and costs more.
We would rather look at the roof than guess over the phone. Quotes are free, and the quote tells you what the price covers before any work starts.
Do you give free quotes for roofing work?
Yes. Quotes are free for roof repairs, roof replacement and new roofs anywhere in the area we cover. Call 07949 221483 or send the Get In Touch form with a few details and, if you can, a photo taken from the ground.
Should I repair my roof or replace it?
If the damage is in one place and the rest of the roof is sound, a repair is nearly always the better value. Replacement starts to make sense when tiles are failing across whole slopes, the felt underneath has perished, the roof line sags, or leaks keep appearing in different rooms.
We will tell you which we think it is and why. If a repair will do the job, that is what we will quote for.
Do you carry out emergency roof repairs in Wakefield?
Yes. If a storm has taken tiles off or water is coming in, call 07949 221483 and tell us what you can see. We will tell you honestly how soon we can get to you. The first visit is about making the roof safe and watertight. The permanent repair follows.
Our phone is answered Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm. Outside those hours, send the form or leave a message and we will reply when we are back.
How long does a new roof take?
Most house re-roofs are measured in days rather than weeks, but the size of the roof, its shape, the weather and what we find once the old covering is off all change the answer. Your quote will give you a realistic timescale for your roof.
Which areas around Wakefield do you cover?
We are based on Berners Street in Wakefield and work across the Wakefield district, including Sandal, Outwood, Wrenthorpe, Horbury, Ossett, Normanton, Castleford and Pontefract. The full list is on our areas we cover page. If you are just outside it, ask.
Do I need planning permission or Building Regulations approval for a new roof?
Re-roofing a house like for like does not normally need planning permission, unless the building is listed or in a conservation area. Building Regulations are a separate matter. They usually apply when most or all of a roof covering is replaced, and they can require the roof insulation to be brought up to current standards.
We will tell you at quote stage whether your job is likely to need approval. Wakefield Council's building control team can confirm it for your property.
What are the signs that a roof needs repairing?
From the ground, look for slipped, cracked or missing tiles, gaps in the ridge line, mortar in the gutters and flashing that has lifted away from a chimney or wall. Indoors, look for damp patches on ceilings and chimney breasts, and for daylight or wet timbers in the loft.
A roof does not have to be leaking to need attention. One slipped tile lets water onto the felt every time it rains.
