Option A · Repair
The roof is otherwise sound.
- Damage localised to a small area
- Individual tiles slipped or cracked
- Flashing needs renewal in one place
- Ridge tiles need repointing or re-bedding
Slipped tiles, leaks and storm damage, put right properly.

A slipped tile, a tired piece of flashing or a hairline crack rarely looks urgent. Left through a wet Milton Keynes winter, it becomes a ruined ceiling, soaked insulation and a far larger bill. We find the fault, explain it plainly, and put it right before it spreads.
A tile or a length of flashing fixed now costs a fraction of the plaster, insulation and decoration a winter leak takes with it.
A leak rarely shows below where it enters. We trace it back to the cause, so the repair holds rather than returning next storm.
If a repair will do, we repair. We only recommend a replacement when the roof has genuinely reached the end of its life.

Yes. Clarkson Roofing is a family-run roofer based in Newport Pagnell, carrying out roof repairs across Milton Keynes and the surrounding villages. We repair slipped and cracked tiles, roof leaks, lead flashing, ridge and verge, valleys, and flat roofs in felt, EPDM and GRP. Request a free roof survey.
We can usually be on a Milton Keynes or Newport Pagnell property for a free survey within 48 hours, and same-day for genuine emergencies. If a roof is letting water in, we make it watertight first and then quote for the permanent repair.
It depends on the fault and the access. A small repair such as a few slipped tiles can be a short visit, while anything needing scaffold or working at height costs more to set up safely. We give a fixed written quote after a free survey, so you know the figure before any work starts. Our guide to what a new roof costs sets out the wider numbers.
Yes, both. We repair pitched roofs in slate, clay and concrete tile, and flat roofs in felt, EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass. We also repair lead flashing, chimney weathering, box gutters and roofline where the fault sits between the two.
If the damage is localised, a few tiles have slipped or cracked, or the flashing has failed around a chimney or valley, a targeted repair is usually the right and honest answer. A replacement is only worth it when the covering, underlay or structure has reached end of life. A free survey tells you which, with no pressure either way. Our repair or replacement guide walks through it.
Yes. A leak rarely shows up directly below where water enters, so we trace it back to the source, whether that is a slipped tile, failed flashing, a blocked valley or a cracked verge, and fix the cause rather than just the symptom.
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency roof repairs for storm-damaged roofs across Milton Keynes, Newport Pagnell and the surrounding counties. We stabilise and make the roof watertight first, then provide photographs and a written report suitable for an insurance claim.
Yes. Clarkson Roofing is fully insured, our workmanship is guaranteed, and any materials we fit carry the manufacturer warranty on top. We leave the roof as we would want our own left.
Every survey is free and without obligation. A family member walks the roof and the loft, explains what they find in plain terms, and follows up with a fixed-price written quote within one working day.
