How to fix a roof leak, and when to call a roofer
What you can safely do tonight, how to find where the water is getting in, and the signs it's a job for a roofer.
Read the guideTell us what's going on with your roof. We match your job with a local roofer who specialises in that kind of work, once we've checked their insurance, specialty and LBP status where the job needs one. They call you to quote, and your number is never sold on.
Getting a roofing quote shouldn't mean ringing around and hoping. We match your job with a roofer who specialises in exactly that work and covers your area. Your job goes to them alone, so your phone stays quiet.
Pick what's wrong, your roof type and your postcode. It takes about a minute.
Find My Roofer certified: insurance, specialty and LBP status (where needed) checked. Covers your area and does this exact kind of work. If nobody fits, we tell you rather than guess.
You deal with the roofer directly. Not the right fit? Tell us and we'll pass your job to another roofer.
Three rules sit behind every job we pass on.
Your details go to one roofer for your job. We never sell them to anyone else.
We check their insurance and the work they specialise in before they get a single job from us, plus their LBP status on the public register when the work is restricted building work. What Find My Roofer certified means.
A quote is just a quote. You decide whether to go ahead, and you deal with the roofer directly.
