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.
We handle roof repairs as a managed project across Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire: one contract, one contact, and trades working to an agreed specification. Coverage includes Stirling, Falkirk, Alloa and Grangemouth and their surroundings. In Scotland the consent rules have their own details, which we check for you. Typical prices in Scotland fall within £300–£1,450, VAT included, and are fixed in writing after a survey.

Housing across Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire
Stirling's old town has historic stone buildings, with Victorian villas in the King's Park area and newer estates around the city. Falkirk and Grangemouth have industrial-era terraces and post-war housing, and Alloa and the Hillfoots villages in Clackmannanshire mix stone cottages, mill-era housing and harled council homes.
Stone homes commonly need repointing and slate roof repairs, and harled houses need re-rendering. Semis and bungalows suit extensions and loft conversions, and newer homes take garage conversions and driveways.
The Forth valley is prone to frost and low-lying flood risk, while the Ochil hills bring heavier rain to the Hillfoots.
Do you need permission in Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire?
Because Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire falls under Scotland's rules, the guidance below is the version relevant to you. Before sending a price, we check your property's position with the council.
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.

Free site survey
We arrange a free site survey on a date convenient to you. We measure up, look at the existing structure and access, and discuss your plans for roof repairs so the price reflects your home.
Quote in writing
We put everything into a written, fixed-price quote: the specification, what's excluded, staged payments and the expected time on site. Take whatever time you need to decide; there's no pressure to commit.
Booking the work
We handle the paperwork side: checking whether planning permission or building control approval is needed, submitting applications where they are, and scheduling the trades and materials around your dates.
Finish and handover
Our trades complete roof repairs while your point of contact keeps you updated. When everything is finished, we clear the site, take away waste and go through the result with you before handover.
How we work
Frequently asked questions
Can you do an emergency roof repair?
After storm damage, a temporary repair such as sheeting or refixing loose tiles can stop water getting in until a permanent repair can be made. We aim to attend as quickly as possible, but availability depends on weather and demand, especially after widespread storms. In the meantime, catch drips in containers, move valuables and switch off lights near any wet ceiling.
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.
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.
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.
Can you combine roof repairs with other work?
Yes. Because we manage several trades under one contract, we can plan roof repairs alongside other work on your Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire home, such as new windows with rendering, or a kitchen refit with an extension. Combining jobs can reduce repeat set-up such as scaffolding, skips and access, and every element is listed and priced in the same written quote.
