Roof Repair Cost can vary depending on the following factors;

Costs do tend to be higher in London as the cost of living is higher.

Roof Repair Causes

• Ice dams.  When snow settles on your roof and starts to melt slowly then freeze again in cold temperatures, it can cause ice to form on the roof.  This reduces the run off from to the gutters.  The ice causes damage to the part of the roof that it covers and these shingles or tiles would possibly need replacing if the damage is too severe.
• Broken tiles.  Tiles may break due to severe weather conditions, or inferior quality of material or workmanship. Even slate tiles can get torn off the roof in severe windy weather.  Missing tiles is the number one cause of roof leaks in the UK.
• Clogged valleys.  Valleys keep the water flowing towards the gutters so that the rain water can be drained from the roof, therefore it is very important to keep the valley clean and unblocked.  Valleys can become blocked by lifting tiles, or fungus buildup if they haven't been cleaned regularly.
• Insufficient pitch on roof.  This could cause damage by the wind, where tiles would lift up and break or get torn away, or a low pitch roof could cause water damage to the roof since there is inadequate run off on a low pitch roof.
• Damaged pipe flashings.  The ventilation system run underneath the roofing material, these are sealed very well but the seal and the flashings are known to deteriorate over time and this causes water leaks.  
• Missing flashings around chimneys and skylights.  The flashings around the bottom of the chimneys or skylights can be worn out or ripped off by very harsh winds leaving your roof vulnerable to water damage.
