Roof Leak Repair
A leaking roof is the kind of problem that gets worse every day you leave it. We trace the source of the leak, whether it’s a cracked flashing, a slipped tile, or a failed sealant joint, and fix it properly, not just patch it temporarily. (Most standard leak repairs range from £150–£400 depending on access and cause.)
Tile and Slate Replacement
Broken or missing tiles are one of the most common roof repair issues we see across Dundee’s older sandstone and Victorian properties. We stock a wide range of matching slate and clay tiles to keep your roof looking consistent while restoring full weatherproofing. (Individual tile replacements typically start from £80–£200.)
Storm Damage Repair
After a bad storm rolls through Fintry or Kirkton, the damage can range from a handful of lifted tiles to a full section of ridge or verge needing reconstruction. We offer emergency roof repairs in Dundee with rapid response times, assessing and securing your roof before further water ingress causes structural damage. (Storm repair costs vary widely — call us for a same-day assessment.)
Chimney Repairs and Leadwork
Chimneys are one of the most neglected parts of a roof until the pointing crumbles or the lead flashing fails and water starts tracking down an interior wall. We handle chimney repointing, cap replacement, and all associated leadwork. The folded or fitted lead (a soft metal) used to waterproof the joints where your chimney meets the roof slope. (Chimney repairs typically range from £200–£600.)
Guttering Services
Blocked or broken guttering causes far more roof and fascia damage than most people realise water backs up, saturates the soffit, and eventually works into the roof structure. We clear, repair, and replace guttering across Dundee as part of our broader roof repair service, keeping your drainage doing its job through every season. (Gutter repairs and clears from £75–£250.)
Types of Roof Repairs We Carry Out in Dundee
Here are the main roof repair services we provide in Dundee, along with their benefits, limitations, and typical repair costs.
Slate Roofing Repairs
Slate is the traditional material across much of Dundee’s older housing stock durable, handsome, and long-lasting when maintained properly.
Pros: Extremely long lifespan; aesthetically appropriate for period properties
Cons: Individual slates can be harder to match on older roofs.
Cost: £100–£350 per repair section.
Concrete and Clay Tile Repairs
Common on post-war and 1970s–90s housing in areas like Claverhouse and Dryburgh.
Pros: Widely available; straightforward to replace like-for-like.
Cons: Heavier than slate; mortar bedding can deteriorate faster in wet climates
Approximate cost: £80–£300 per repair section
Flat Roof Patch Repairs
Where a garage, extension, or dormer has a flat roof section, localised failures in felt or EPDM membrane (a rubber-based waterproof layer) are common.
Pros: Fast to repair; cost-effective for small sections
Cons: Repeated patching on aged felt is a short-term solution — full replacement may be more economical
Approximate cost: £120–£400 depending on size
Lead and Flashing Repairs
Leadwork around dormers, valleys, and chimneys is a frequent failure point in Dundee’s older properties.
Pros: Correctly installed lead lasts decades; suitable for complex roof junctions
Cons: Requires skilled tradespeople — poorly fitted lead fails quickly
Approximate cost: £150–£500 depending on linear metres

What our Flat roofing clients say
Sorted within 24 hours — genuinely impressed
“I called Khatana Roofers after a storm left two slates off the back of our house in Downfield, and they were with us the next morning. The repair was done quickly, the price was exactly what they quoted, and the roofer even pointed out a small issue with our flashing that we hadn’t noticed.”
Finally, a roofer who just tells you the truth
“I’d had two other companies out to look at a persistent leak in our Lochee property — both quoted me for work that turned out to be completely unnecessary. Khatana identified the actual problem (a cracked ridge tile) in about ten minutes and fixed it for a fraction of what the others wanted to charge.”
Saved me from a flood
“Our chimney repointing had been on the to-do list for a while after we noticed damp on the bedroom ceiling. Khatana’s team were professional, tidy, and explained everything clearly. You can tell they’ve done this a hundred times.”
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a roof repair in Dundee typically cost?
Most straightforward repairs — a few slipped tiles, a small leak, or minor flashing work — fall between £100 and £400. Larger jobs involving chimney repairs, structural work to trusses or decking, or extensive storm damage can run higher. We always provide a written quote before starting, so you know exactly what you’re paying.
How long will a repaired roof section last?
A well-executed repair on a structurally sound roof can last anywhere from 10 to 25 years, depending on the material and the quality of the original build. Honestly, most of the time a good repair outlasts the surrounding roof if the rest of the structure is being maintained — the key is catching problems early rather than letting water ingress do secondary damage.
What's the best roofing material for Dundee's climate?
Slate is hard to beat for Dundee’s wet, wind-exposed conditions — it handles freeze-thaw cycles well and sheds water cleanly. For flat roof sections, EPDM rubber membrane outperforms traditional felt in our climate because it stays flexible in cold temperatures rather than cracking. We’ll always recommend the material best suited to your specific roof and budget.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
If the damage is isolated to one or two areas and the underlying structure — the trusses, decking, and felt — is in decent condition, repair is almost always the right call financially. Replacement makes sense when you’re repeatedly repairing the same roof, when the structure itself is compromised, or when the roof is well past its expected lifespan. Between you and me, most roofs we’re called out to assess just need a targeted repair, not a full replacement — and we’ll always tell you which one honestly.
Do you offer emergency roof repairs in Dundee?
Yes. We offer emergency roof repairs for situations where weather damage or sudden failure is causing active water ingress. Call us on +44 1382 722175 and we’ll prioritise getting someone to you as quickly as possible — particularly in the case of storm damage, where securing the roof fast prevents much costlier secondary damage to ceilings, insulation, and electrics.
