Roof Cleaning & Repair
Restore and protect your roof with professional cleaning and long-lasting protective coatings.
Roof Cleaning & Repair
Broken or missing roof tiles are more than just an eyesore, they can seriously affect the performance and lifespan of your roof. Tiles are the first line of defence against the weather, and when even one is cracked, dislodged, or missing, it can allow water to penetrate beneath the surface.
Over time, this can lead to damage to the underlay, roof timbers, insulation, and even the ceilings inside your home.
Tiles can break or slip for several reasons, including storm damage, frost expansion, or general wear and tear over the years. Once one tile fails, surrounding tiles can also become loose or compromised, especially during high winds or heavy rainfall.
At Wrekin High Access & Maintenance, we carry out swift and effective tile replacements to restore the waterproof barrier of your roof and prevent further deterioration.
Because we use our own tracked cherry picker, we can reach damaged areas safely without the need for scaffolding, making the whole process quicker, cleaner, and more cost-effective.
Don’t wait for a small issue to turn into a major leak, if you’ve noticed cracked or missing tiles, give us a call and we’ll take care of it.
Air Vent Tile Installations
Proper roof ventilation is essential for maintaining the health and efficiency of any property. Without it, warm, moist air from inside the building can become trapped in the roof space, leading to condensation, damp, and even mould growth. Over time, this excess moisture can rot roof timbers, degrade insulation, and contribute to poor indoor air quality.
One of the most effective ways to improve ventilation is by installing dedicated air vent tiles. These specially designed tiles allow fresh air to circulate through the loft space, helping to regulate temperature and moisture levels throughout the year. They’re also crucial in buildings that have undergone energy efficiency improvements like new insulation or airtight membranes, which can reduce natural airflow. At Wrekin High Access & Maintenance we supply and install roof vent tiles to suit all common tile types and roof pitches.
Whether you need improved airflow for a loft conversion, to prevent condensation issues, or to meet building regulations, we can help. Using our spider cherry picker, we can access even the most awkward roof areas quickly and safely, without the need for scaffolding, keeping the installation clean, efficient, and cost-effective.
If you’re experiencing signs of poor roof ventilation or simply want to futureproof your property, contact us to discuss air vent tile installation options.

Verge End Repairs (Mortar Repointing and Rebuilding)
Verge ends – where the edge of the roof meets the gable wall, are typically sealed with mortar to protect the exposed edges of the tiles and prevent water and wind from penetrating beneath them.
Over time, however, this mortar can crack, shrink, or crumble due to constant exposure to the elements. Once this happens, the verge becomes vulnerable to water ingress, tile displacement, and even structural damage. Damaged or missing verge mortar can also allow birds and pests to nest under the tiles, while strong winds may lift unsecured tiles, creating a serious safety risk.
In some cases, failing mortar can cause sections of the verge to collapse entirely, leaving parts of the roof exposed.
At Wrekin High Access & Maintenance, we carry out professional verge repairs to restore both function and appearance. Whether the verge needs repointing, complete removal and rebedding, or a transition to a more modern dry verge system, we can advise on the best long-term solution. Using our tracked cherry picker, we can access gable ends quickly and safely, even at height or in awkward positions, without needing scaffolding. If your verge mortar is cracked, falling away, or missing altogether, don’t wait for further damage. We’ll carry out a full assessment and get it properly repaired.
Valley Repairs
Lead valleys are the channels that run between two roof slopes, directing rainwater safely down into the guttering system. Because they handle a constant flow of water, they’re especially prone to wear and tear over time and when problems occur, they can quickly lead to leaks and internal damage.
Common issues include hairline cracks, splits, corrosion, or failing mortar along the edges.
These faults can allow water to seep under the surrounding tiles, causing damp patches inside the property or even damaging the roof structure itself if left untreated.
At Wrekin High Access & Maintenance we specialise in repairing lead valleys rather than replacing them entirely. Depending on the condition of the valley, we’ll either apply a durable, fibred waterproof coating that seals the area and prevents further water ingress, or we’ll cut out and replace small damaged sections of lead to restore the valley’s integrity.
This approach is less invasive, and can often be more cost-effective, delivering long-lasting results. Using our spider cherry picker, we can access valley areas safely and quickly without the need for scaffolding, even in tight or awkward spaces. This means a faster, cleaner repair with minimal disruption to your home or business.
