Roof repairs in St Albans, from slipped slates to leaking chimneys

Roof repairs in St Albans, with the leak traced to where it actually gets in before anyone talks about price. Ring 07310 120341 and Kieran comes out, shows you what he finds and gives you a free written quote, with no call-out fee.

On the Victorian and Edwardian terraces of Fleetville, Bernards Heath and the streets off Hatfield Road, most leaks come from three places. Slates slide out as their nails rust through. Lead on the bay roofs and in the valley between the main roof and the back addition splits with age. Shared chimney stacks lose their pointing and flaunching, and water runs down inside the brick.

Each one has a proper fix. Slipped slates are refixed with tingles and broken ones replaced with matched slate. Split valleys and flashings are renewed in new lead. Stacks are repointed and re-flaunched, with new lead where they meet the roof. In the city centre conservation area the repair uses the same clay tile or slate as the roof around it, so it does not show from the street.

On the newer houses of Marshalswick and Jersey Farm it is concrete tiles that have slipped, ridge mortar that has cracked and felt that has perished at the eaves. Kieran checks from the roof and from the loft, explains what he found, and tells you straight when a run of repairs would cost more than a re-roof. All work is guaranteed.

Roof repairs in St Albans: questions

How much does a roof repair cost in St Albans?

Across Hertfordshire, a small repair from a ladder, such as refixing a few slipped tiles or slates, costs about £150 to £400. New lead round a chimney runs about £400 to £900, repointing a stack with new flaunching about £500 to £1,500 and a new lead valley about £600 to £1,500, and scaffold adds to that where the roof needs it. Kieran's price is in writing before any work starts.

Do you charge to come out and look at a leak?

No. There is no call-out fee, and the quote is free and in writing.

Can you repair a roof in the St Albans conservation area?

Yes. Repairs use matching slate or clay tiles and lead, so the roof looks the same from the street once the work is done.

Will you tell me if the roof needs replacing instead?

Yes, straight. If the felt has perished and the repairs keep coming back, a new roof is the better spend, and Kieran shows you why on the roof. New roofs carry our 20-year guarantee.

Do you charge to come out?

KlebersonNew roof · September 2026

Outstanding roofing company! I honestly can’t recommend KR & Sons Roofing & Guttering Ltd enough. From the first contact, they were friendly, professional and extremely helpful. The whole team worked incredibly hard and the standard of their workmanship was brilliant. They were reliable, tidy and kept me informed throughout the job, and the finished roof looks absolutely fantastic. It’s not often you come across a company that takes this much pride in their work. I’m extremely happy with the result and would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them to family, friends or anyone looking for a top-quality roofing company. Fantastic team, fantastic workmanship and a fantastic service from start to finish!
