Roof repairs are the most common call we receive across Coventry. From a single missing tile to widespread nail sickness on a post-war estate roof, we carry out honest assessments and fix what needs fixing — not more.
The most frequent repair job across Coventry's CV2, CV3 and CV6 postcodes is nail sickness on 1960s and 70s concrete interlocking tiles. As galvanised nails corrode, tiles slip out of position and the roof loses its weathering line. Early stage nail sickness can be addressed with targeted re-fixing; more widespread failure typically means a full re-roof is more cost-effective. We'll tell you honestly which applies to your roof.
On the Victorian and Edwardian terraces of Earlsdon, Hillfields and Chapelfields, the common repair calls are lead flashing failure around chimney stacks and party wall abutments, and slipped or cracked natural slate. Sourcing matching Welsh slate for repairs on these streets requires care — we carry stock of reclaimed slate specifically for Coventry's older housing stock.
Repair prices in Coventry: minor tile replacement £150–£300; re-bedding ridge or hip tiles £200–£500; lead flashing repair or replacement £250–£600; valley repair or replacement £400–£900. All prices include materials and a written receipt.
The most frequent repairs we carry out across Coventry are nail sickness re-fixing on post-war concrete tile estates (CV2, CV3, CV4, CV6), lead flashing replacement at chimney abutments on Victorian terraces in Earlsdon and Hillfields, and ridge or hip tile re-bedding on 1930s semis in Coundon and Radford. Understanding the specific failure pattern for each property type is the first step to a repair that lasts.
Every repair job starts with a free survey. We assess the full roof condition, not just the visible failure, and provide a written quote before any work begins. No call-out fee, no obligation. Repair pricing is transparent — we split materials and labour in every quote so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Correct material matching is essential for lasting repairs across Coventry’s varied housing stock. We stock reclaimed Welsh slate for Victorian terraces, matched concrete profiles for post-war estates, and use NHL lime mortar for all pointing work on period brickwork. Using the wrong tile or mortar mix is one of the most common causes of repeat repair calls.
Minor repairs from £150. Most standard repairs £150–£900.

The main variables in repair pricing are access, material matching and the extent of secondary damage. Access cost increases on properties where scaffold is needed — most tile repairs on a standard Coventry semi can be done by ladder, but chimney, ridge and valley work almost always requires scaffold or a tower. Material matching adds cost on Victorian and Edwardian properties in Earlsdon and Hillfields where reclaimed slate or clay tile must be sourced. Secondary damage — rotten batten or felt found when the tile is lifted — is quoted separately and transparently before proceeding.
For Coventry homeowners on post-war estates, the repair-or-replace calculation is straightforward: if more than 20–30% of tiles are nail-sick, cumulative repair costs over the following five years will exceed the cost of a full re-roof. We tell you this honestly at survey stage. On Victorian or 1930s properties with isolated failures, repair is almost always the right answer. We never recommend replacement when repair will deliver a durable result.
When we survey a Coventry property for roof repairs, we produce a written report covering: tile condition by section, felt underlay condition from loft inspection, mortar condition on ridge and hip, flashing condition at all abutments and chimney bases, and valley condition. We note which defects are isolated (fixable by targeted repair) and which are systemic (indicating wider nail sickness or felt failure that may make re-roofing more cost-effective). You receive this in writing before we quote for anything. A survey without a written report is not a survey — it is a sales visit.
Storm damage to Coventry properties is often covered by buildings insurance. We provide written damage reports with photographs that meet the documentation requirements for insurance claims. If your insurer sends their own loss adjuster, we can attend to explain the damage and our repair specification. We do not inflate repair specifications for insurance purposes — our reports describe what is damaged and what is needed to restore the roof to its pre-damage condition, nothing more. If your insurer is querying a repair, call us and we will advise.
“Had a section of tiles slip after high winds on our 1970s semi in Canley. They came out, assessed the nail sickness honestly, repaired the affected section and told us the rest had at least five years left. No upselling, just straight advice.”
“Victorian terrace in Earlsdon with a chimney flashing that had been leaking for months. Two previous roofers patched it and it kept failing. These guys stripped it back and relined properly. Bone dry since.”
“Replaced a section of ridge tiles on our 1930s semi in Coundon. Clean job, correct mortar mix, left the site tidy. Exactly what you want.”
Minor repairs — replacing a few slipped tiles or resealing a flashing — typically cost £150–£400. Larger jobs such as valley replacement or widespread re-fixing on nail-sick estates run £400–£900. We always quote before starting.
Nail sickness occurs when the galvanised fixing nails on concrete tile roofs corrode, allowing tiles to slip. It's very common on 1960s and 70s estate properties across CV2, CV3 and CV6. Signs include tiles that have slipped out of line, loose tiles you can push by hand, or visible gaps in the tile profile. Book a free survey and we'll assess the extent.
For concrete tile estates, we stock most common profiles. For Victorian properties in Earlsdon and Hillfields requiring natural slate, we carry reclaimed Welsh slate for sympathetic repairs. We'll confirm matchability during the survey.
