Somerton roofs sit out on the open northern plains, where wind, dust and summer heat do steady damage. Our licensed, insured crew repairs broken tiles, repoints ridges and repaints worn roofs so the finish lasts, and we quote everything in writing first.

Somerton is better known for its industrial estates than its houses, but the homes in its residential streets need just as much care. Out here on the flat country north of the Ring Road, there is not much to slow the wind, and roofs take the brunt of it.
A quick patch might stop a drip for a while, but in an exposed spot like this it rarely lasts. Our aim is a repair or restoration that holds. We inspect the roof properly, photograph what we find and explain whether you need a few targeted fixes or a complete restoration, then set out a written price limited to the work your roof truly needs. From our Cairnlea yard it is a straightforward run across to Somerton, and we are happy to come out for something as small as a couple of cracked tiles.

Open ground around Somerton means roofs get very little shelter. Strong gusts work at tile edges and ridge caps, and once the bedding under a cap starts to crack, each storm loosens it further. Eventually rain finds the gap and drips into the roof space, often well away from where it shows on the ceiling.
Sun is just as tough. Long, hot summers break down the protective surface of concrete tiles, leaving them faded and thirstier. The swing from scorching days to cool nights also stresses mortar and flashings, which is why cracking tends to appear along ridges first.
Dust is the sneaky one. Blown in off the surrounding open land and nearby industrial yards, it drifts into valleys and gutters, where it binds with leaf litter into a heavy paste the moment rain arrives. Water then backs up and finds its way inside. Regular checks, and fixing small faults as they appear, make a big difference to how long a roof here lasts.
We repair roofs so they stay fixed, using materials chosen for an exposed site.
You get a photo record of each fault next to its repair, for peace of mind.
We climb up and check tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings and gutters, photographing every problem along the way. Then we sit down with you, explain it in plain English and follow up with a clear written quote. If something is worn but not yet failing, we will say so and let you plan for it rather than rushing you. Where access is tricky, such as a two-storey home or a steep pitch, we set up safely before anyone steps onto the tiles. The inspection is free and comes with no obligation, so you can make your decision in your own time.
When cracked pointing, faded tiles and minor leaks are popping up all over, it is usually time to stop patching. A full restoration fixes everything in one project and puts a fresh protective coat over the whole surface.
Here is how it goes. A pressure clean strips years of dust and grime. Damaged tiles are lifted out and replaced, wobbly caps are bedded down again, the ridges are pointed afresh, and corroded valleys and flashings are renewed. With the structure sorted, a sealer, primer and colour coats suited to strong sun go on. The result looks close to new and handles the weather far better, at a fraction of the price of replacement.
