- Pitched, flat and slate roofs, plus chimney, guttering, fascia and soffit repairs. We hold insurance and we guarantee the work.

Roof repair Croydon for leaks, storm damage and worn coverings
Most Croydon calls start the same way: a brown ring on a bedroom ceiling, a tile in the garden after a windy night, or a chimney that weeps down the breast when it rains. The stain is rarely sitting under the hole. Water tracks along felt, battens and rafters, so a slipped slate in Addiscombe can show up two rooms away. We trace it from the covering down, then repair the entry point — not just the plaster.
Pitched tiles and slate on Croydon streets
On pitched roofs we refix or replace cracked, slipped and missing tiles, re-bed ridge and verge where the mortar has given up, and renew failed flashings at abutments. On slate roofs — still common on older streets in Thornton Heath and parts of South Croydon — we source a close match in size and thickness so the repair does not advertise itself from the pavement. Where a slate has nail-sickness (the fixing has rusted and the slate has slipped), we deal with the failed fixings in that run, not a single cosmetic swap that lets the next slate go in the following storm.
Flat roofs, chimneys and guttering
Flat roofs on extensions, garages and rear additions fail differently. Ponding, split detailing at the upstand, and tired outlets are the usual paths for water. Our flat roofing work covers repair where the covering still has life, and an honest conversation when a patch would throw money after a membrane that has finished. We will not stretch a repair past the point it can keep the room below dry.
Water also gets in at the edges. Failed chimney flashings, open joints in the stack, and blocked or parted guttering will wet fascias, soak soffits and drive damp into the wall head. We repair the chimney, the gutter run, and the fascia or soffit that has already started to rot — one visit, one quote, so you are not paying twice for the same leak.
If the covering is at the end of its life across the whole plane, a local repair is the wrong product. That is when we talk about a new roof installation. We still quote after the same inspection, with no obligation to proceed.
Warning signs that need roof repair Croydon
You do not need to climb anything to decide whether to call. From the garden, the loft hatch (standing on the joists or looking from the hatch only) and the rooms under the eaves, these are the usual reasons people book roof repair Croydon with us:
- Slipped, cracked or missing tiles or slates, or a gap that was not there last winter.
- Brown or yellow staining on ceilings, bubbling paint on a chimney breast, or a musty loft after rain.
- Daylight visible through the covering when you look up from the hatch.
- Crumbling ridge mortar, open verges, or lead that has pulled away from a stack or wall.
- Gutters overflowing, joints that drip onto the wall, or fascia boards that have started to swell.
- A flat roof that holds water after the rest of the street has dried.
Do not walk the covering to “just have a look”. Wet moss, brittle tiles and fragile sheets are a fall waiting to happen. The Health and Safety Executive treats roof work as work at height for a reason; they wrote their work at height guidance for people who do this for a living, not for a homeowner on a borrowed ladder. Photograph what you can from the ground, put a bucket under an active drip, and call us.
How we inspect and quote roof repair Croydon work
Every roof repair Croydon job starts with a look at the actual roof, not a price from a photo. Call 07720 607862, email info@mkandsonsroofinglimited.co.uk, or use the form on our homepage. If this is an emergency — water coming in, wind has taken a covering off, a chimney pot looks unsafe — say so. We run 24/7 cover, make the roof safe, then quote the lasting repair in writing.
On a planned visit we inspect the covering, flashings, chimney, gutters and the rooms below. We explain what has failed, what can wait, and what we should do now. You get a free no-obligation quote with transparent pricing: the work, the access, and the materials, with no hidden extras tacked on later. We do not publish a menu of pound rates because a two-tile swap on a bungalow in Coulsdon is not the same job as a valley and chimney repair on a three-storey house in Shirley. The quote follows the inspection.
Access is part of that quote, not an afterthought. We can complete some short, simple repairs from properly secured ladders. Many Croydon roofs cannot. Where we need scaffolding or another safe system, we include it rather than pretending a price that ignores the Work at Height Regulations. You will know before we start.
When you instruct us we complete the agreed repair, tidy the site, and leave the work fully guaranteed. We hold full insurance. We do not print a made-up guarantee term on this page; the guarantee that applies to your job is the one in your paperwork.
Postcodes and neighbourhoods we cover
M.K & Sons Roofing Ltd has its registered office at Gower House, Barra Hall Road, Hayes UB3 2NP (company number 15753451). Roof repair Croydon is regular coverage for us, not a “surrounding areas” line on a West London page. We attend:
- CR0 — Addiscombe and Shirley, plus the central Croydon streets that sit in this postcode.
- CR2 — South Croydon and Sanderstead.
- CR5 — Coulsdon.
- CR7 — Thornton Heath.
- CR8 — Purley.
- SE25 — the south-eastern edge of the borough.
Housing stock in these postcodes mixes slate, tile and flat roofs, so we match the repair to the roof in front of us. Thornton Heath and older Addiscombe streets still carry a lot of natural slate. Shirley, Sanderstead, Purley and Coulsdon are heavy on inter-war tiled pitches, with hips and valleys that leak at the lead long before the field tiles look tired. South Croydon mixes both, plus plenty of flat-roofed extensions. SE25 adds another band of older terraces and later infill. We quote the roof in front of us, not a generic “Croydon average”.
If your postcode is just outside this list, still ring. If we can take the job, we will say so on the call.
Planning, building control and working at height
Like-for-like roof repairs that do not change the shape or the look of the house usually sit outside planning permission. That is the national position on the Planning Portal roof page: work that does not materially affect the external appearance will not normally need an application. Changing the covering type, altering the roof form, or adding features is a different question.
Croydon adds local checks. Listed buildings, conservation areas and any street where the council has tightened permitted development can pull even modest alterations into an application. We do not guess that for you. We point you to Croydon Council planning and, where the job goes beyond a local repair, to building control. Re-covering a large area of roof can fall under building regulations even when you do not need planning permission. If your job needs a notice, we tell you before work starts.
None of this is a reason to delay an emergency make-safe. Stopping water is not the same as rebuilding the roof. We separate the two on the quote.

Frequently asked questions
There is no honest single figure. Cost follows the covering, the height, the access, and how far water has already travelled. We do not publish pound prices on this site. After inspection you receive a free, no-obligation quote with transparent pricing. That is the number we work to — not a call-out surprise and not a rate copied from a directory.
Indoor staining after rain, daylight in the loft, tiles or slates on the ground, a chimney that dampens the breast, or gutters that overflow onto the wall are the usual signs. If you are unsure, book the free inspection. Finding a slipped tile this month is cheaper than replacing rotten battens next winter.
Straightforward repairs that put back what is already there usually do not. Check the Planning Portal roof guidance and Croydon Council’s planning pages if you own a listed building, live in a conservation area, or you intend to change materials or shape. We will flag anything we see on the survey. Building regulations can still apply to larger re-covering even when planning does not.
Yes. Emergency cover is 24/7. We make the roof safe, stop the water where we can, and quote the permanent repair in writing. You do not have to accept that quote because we attended in the night.
Yes. Pitched tile, slate and flat roofs, together with chimney, guttering, fascia and soffit work. If the right answer is a new covering rather than a repair, we say so and quote that separately as a new roof — still with no obligation.
Yes. We hold insurance, and we fully guarantee the work. We put the guarantee for your job in writing with the quote, not a year-count invented for a webpage.
