Wind does most of the damage, since storms such as Storm Arwen (2021) loosen tiles and ridges. Older roofs near Dalry also wear at the underlay, so a roofer checks both.

Small repairs such as refitting a handful of slipped tiles typically run from £150–£400. Rebedding ridge tiles, valley repairs or larger patch repairs usually fall between £400–£1,200, depending on access and materials. Since prices vary so much with access and materials, a local roofer should always inspect before quoting a fixed price.

Common signs are visibly slipped, cracked or missing tiles, and damp patches on upstairs ceilings after rain. Also watch for granules or mortar fragments in your gutters, and daylight visible in the loft. If you can see any of these, get it inspected before winter weather makes it worse.

If the problem is localised — a few tiles, one valley, a ridge line — a repair is almost always the right call. If the underlay has failed across large areas, or the same roof keeps failing in different places, a roofer may recommend re-roofing. They should show you photos explaining why.

A good roofer matches tile or slate type, size and colour. They can often source reclaimed materials for older properties, so the repaired patch weathers in. Mention the age of your roof when you make your request.
