Roof repairs fix specific faults in a pitched or flat roof, such as slipped or cracked tiles, loose ridges, failed flashing, leaking valleys or chimney defects, to stop water getting in without replacing the whole roof.
Addresses across PH7 fall within our coverage for roof repairs, so if your home is in Crieff we can arrange a survey on a day that works for you. We inspect the existing building, discuss materials and layout, and then price the agreed specification in writing. Expect a guide range of £300–£1,450 including VAT before that visit.

Homes in Perth and Kinross
Perth has Georgian terraces and Victorian sandstone villas, Highland Perthshire towns such as Pitlochry and Aberfeldy have stone villas and cottages, and Kinross and Crieff mix older stone housing with post-war and modern estates. Slate roofs and harled finishes are common in rural areas.
Sandstone villas in Perth and Highland Perthshire often need repointing and slate roof repairs, and many sit in conservation areas. Semis and newer homes commonly take extensions, garage conversions and garden landscaping.
For roof repairs in Crieff, this means checking things like wall construction, roof structure and existing services before we put a figure on paper.
Do you need permission in Crieff?
Planning law differs across the UK. For a home in Crieff, it is the Scotland rules below that count, and we check them with the council ahead of any quote.
In Scotland, like-for-like re-roofing does not usually need planning permission, except on listed buildings or in conservation areas.
Like-for-like re-covering does not usually need a building warrant, but structural changes or new roof windows can. Bats are protected across the UK; if they roost under roof tiles, soffits or fascias, work stops and a licensed ecologist advises before it restarts.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
The four stages
Free site survey
Book a visit and we'll come to you. The survey covers measurements, the state of what's there now and any obvious constraints, so the price that follows is based on your actual home, not an average.
Your fixed price
After the survey we send a quote for roof repairs that fixes the price for the scope we've agreed. If you want to change materials or scope, we revise it in writing before anything is booked.
Dates and permissions
Next comes planning the work itself. We set a start date that suits you, line up the right trades, and make sure any approvals for roof repairs are in place before the first day on site.
Build and hand over
On site, the agreed plan is followed and any change is put in writing first. At completion we do a final clean, go through the snagging list with you and leave you with the relevant documents.
Why homeowners choose us
Roof repairs in Crieff: questions
Why is my roof leaking?
Roof leaks usually come from slipped or cracked tiles, failed flashing around chimneys and walls, leaking valleys, blocked gutters overflowing, or perished felt beneath the tiles. Water can travel along timbers before it drips, so the stain on your ceiling may not be directly under the fault. Condensation in the loft can also look like a leak. We trace the source before recommending a repair.
How much does a roof repair cost?
A typical roof repair, such as replacing slipped tiles, rebedding a ridge or renewing flashing, costs £300–£1,450. Small repairs reachable by ladder sit at the lower end, while jobs needing scaffolding or several repairs cost more. Matching old tiles or slates and hidden damage to battens can also affect the price. We explain what we find and confirm a fixed price before starting.
Do I need planning permission in Crieff?
It depends on the work, the size of the project, your property type and whether the building is listed or in a conservation area. Crieff is in Scotland, so Scotland's rules apply. Many smaller jobs need no planning application, but some still need building control approval. We check what applies to your address before quoting.
How long will roof repairs take?
On a typical home, allow Half a day to 3 days for most repairs. Larger projects, older buildings and extra work found once things are opened up can extend that, while simpler jobs may be shorter. Your quote includes an estimate of time on site, and your point of contact keeps you updated on the programme as the work progresses.
Will my home insurance pay for the repair?
Home insurance policies often cover sudden storm damage but usually exclude wear and tear or gradual deterioration. If you think the damage is storm-related, contact your insurer before repairs, apart from urgent temporary work, and take photos. We can provide a written report and photographs describing the damage and cause to help with your claim. The insurer decides what is covered.
