Roofing and exterior repairs across the UK.

Roofing is one of the most safety-critical trades. Work at height, heavy materials, and structural implications make it essential to use a properly insured and competent roofer. EzeAla verifies all roofing contractors' insurance (working-at-height coverage, public liability minimum £2 million) before they can accept jobs.

**Emergency roof repairs**

A leaking roof causes significant damage fast — to insulation, plasterwork, electrics, and structural timbers. EzeAla routes roof leak emergencies to all available roofers in your area simultaneously. Emergency dispatch typically connects you to a roofer within 2 hours for temporary repairs. Permanent repairs are then quoted and scheduled separately.

**Types of roofing work**

- **Tile and slate roofs**: Replacing individual tiles or slates, re-bedding ridge tiles, re-pointing verges. Most common job type.
- **Flat roofs**: Felt, EPDM, GRP (fibreglass), and bitumen flat roofs all have different repair methods. A damp patch on an upstairs ceiling often indicates flat roof failure.
- **Guttering**: Blocked or broken gutters cause water to penetrate walls, leading to damp. Gutter clearing is a regular maintenance task that prevents expensive repairs.
- **Chimney work**: Re-pointing, lead flashing replacement, cap installation, pot removal. Chimney work is specialist and always requires access equipment.
