Complete roofing services for your home

Even the best-built roof takes a battering from the British weather. High winds, driving rain and repeated freeze–thaw cycles loosen slates, crack concrete and clay tiles, and wash out the mortar holding ridge and hip tiles in place. Left alone, a small defect lets water into battens, insulation and ceilings, turning a quick fix into an expensive job.

Our roof repair service covers everything from replacing a handful of slipped slates to re-bedding or dry-fixing ridge tiles, renewing lead flashings, repairing valleys and tracing stubborn leaks. We match existing materials wherever possible, including Welsh and Spanish natural slate, Marley and Redland concrete tiles, and traditional clay plain tiles, so the repair blends in with the rest of your roof.

Every job starts with an honest inspection and clear, written quote. We explain what we found, show you photos where possible and only recommend the work that is genuinely needed. At JD Property Maintenance we pride ourselves on tidy, safe working, fair prices and repairs that are built to last.

Flat roofs are common on UK extensions, garages, dormers and bay windows, but traditional felt roofs often blister, crack and leak after just 10–15 years. Ponding water, poor detailing and worn-out coverings are the usual culprits.

We install modern, long-life flat roofing systems designed for the British climate. EPDM rubber membranes are laid as a single seamless sheet with a life expectancy of 30+ years. GRP fibreglass roofs create a tough, fully bonded surface ideal for areas with foot traffic. For budget-conscious projects, high-performance torch-on felt systems offer excellent protection when correctly installed.

Where needed we replace rotten decking with new OSB3 boards, add insulation for a warm-roof build-up to meet Building Regulations, and fit new trims, upstands and outlets so water drains away properly. Whether you need a small repair or a full replacement, JD Property Maintenance will recommend the right system for your roof and budget, and leave you with a neat, watertight finish.

Chimney stacks are the most exposed part of any roof. Years of wind, rain and frost erode the mortar joints, crack the flaunching around the pots and lift the lead flashing where the stack meets the roof. The result can be damp chimney breasts, loose bricks and, in the worst cases, an unsafe structure.

Our chimney services include raking out and repointing brickwork with a suitable sand and cement or lime mortar, re-flaunching chimney pots, replacing cracked pots, fitting bird guards and rain cowls, and renewing lead flashings, soakers and back gutters using code 4 or code 5 lead to Lead Sheet Training Academy guidelines. We can also cap off redundant chimneys with ventilation, or remove stacks altogether where appropriate.

All chimney work is carried out from safe access, whether scaffolding or a chimney-specific platform. JD Property Maintenance takes care to match existing brick and mortar colours so the finished stack looks right, and will always explain options clearly before any work begins.

Roof windows are one of the most effective ways to transform a dark loft, landing or extension into a bright, airy space. Skylights let in significantly more daylight than vertical windows and provide excellent ventilation, and in many cases can be installed without planning permission under permitted development rules.

We supply and fit leading roof windows including VELUX, FAKRO and Keylite, in centre-pivot, top-hung and conservation styles, together with the correct flashing kit for slate or tile roofs. Our installations include forming the new opening, trimming rafters where required, fitting insulation collars and underfelt collars for a weather-tight seal, and making good the internal lining.

We also replace old, leaking or misted roof windows and repair faulty flashings and seals. With JD Property Maintenance you get expert advice on size and position, a clean installation that respects your home, and a roof window that keeps the weather out while letting the light in.
