Most of Bracknell's homes were built between the 1950s and the 1980s, as the new town grew neighbourhood by neighbourhood. That means many of its roofs are of a similar age and have similar problems. Concrete interlocking tiles are common. They're hard-wearing, but the mortar bedding the ridge tiles and sealing the verges at the gable ends cracks and falls out with age. Rebedding the ridge, or fitting a dry ridge and dry verge system that uses mechanical fixings instead of mortar, is one of the most common roofing jobs here. On roofs this age, the felt under the tiles can also become brittle and let in wind-driven rain.

Flat roofs are common too: on garages, porches, rear extensions and the garage blocks found on many of the older estates. Older felt roofs often start to leak after 15 to 20 years. When they need replacing, EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass are longer-lasting alternatives.

If your home or garage was built before 2000, some older soffits, flat-roof sheets, garage roofs and gutters may contain asbestos cement. Don't drill, cut or break anything you're unsure about. Ask the roofer to check before work starts, and if they suspect asbestos, have it tested and follow the HSE's guidance.

Fascias, soffits and gutters from the original build are often due for replacement now. Doing them while the scaffolding is up for other roof work saves paying for access twice. In newer areas such as Jennett's Park and Warfield, roof faults in the first couple of years may still be covered by the developer's warranty.

Scaffolding is often the biggest single cost in a roofing quote, so ask whether it's included and how long it will be up. Ask the roofer to send photos of the problem from the roof, and check what guarantee comes with the work. Reviews on Trade Pilot come from real, invoiced jobs, so you can see which roofers have finished similar work for other homeowners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Replacing a few slipped tiles typically costs £150 to £500, with the top end usually meaning scaffolding is needed. Rebedding or repointing ridge tiles is often £250 to £700, depending on the length of the ridge.

Possibly, if it was built before 2000. Don't disturb it yourself. Ask your roofer to check, and if asbestos is suspected, have it tested and follow the HSE's guidance before any work.

A single leak or worn flashing can usually be repaired. If the felt is blistered, cracked or split across a large area, or water sits on it after rain, replacement is usually better value.

Often, yes. If they're both near the end of their life, doing them together means paying for access once, and it's the best time to check the roof edge.
