Tell us about your roof. We usually reply the same day.
At Alliance Roofing & Building we provide a complete roofing service for homeowners and businesses across Reading. From small leak repairs to full replacements, our focus is on quality workmanship, clear communication and tidy, efficient delivery. Every project is surveyed properly, priced transparently and finished to last. We cover the whole town and the RG postcodes, from the older terraces around the centre and Caversham to the mid-century semis of Tilehurst and Earley and the modern estates of Lower Earley and Woodley.
Much of Reading's housing stock features pitched roofs, particularly on semi-detached and detached properties built from the mid-20th century onwards. These commonly use concrete tiles, clay tiles or natural slate, all of which age differently depending on exposure, installation quality and maintenance history. We frequently see issues caused by ageing fixings, worn underlay and movement from years of wind and weather, plus nail sickness and degraded felt on older properties, problems that are not always visible until leaks or movement appear. Whatever your roof, we inspect it properly, show you what we find and give you a straight, written quote.
Roofs in Reading are regularly exposed to wind, heavy rainfall and gradual wear, particularly on older properties, and many issues start small and go unnoticed until water ingress appears. The most common problems we fix are wind-lifted or slipped tiles, failed lead flashing around chimneys and valleys, blocked gutters causing overflow, and ridge tile movement where the mortar has broken down. We trace the true source of a leak rather than treating surface symptoms, then carry out targeted repairs using materials that match your existing roof, so you are not calling someone out again in three months.
We install durable new roofs using tiles, slate or clay, matched to your property style and budget, with watertight detailing, proper ventilation and longevity built in. For pitched roofs we handle slipped tile repairs, tile and slate replacement, ridge tile repairs and dry ridge systems, valley and flashing work, and full re-roofing where repairs are no longer the best option. We work with concrete tiles, clay tiles and natural slate, matching your existing roof carefully, which matters on Reading's older and character properties.
Flat roofs in Reading take a beating from wind-driven rain, blocked outlets and constant temperature changes. We install and repair in EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and torch-on felt, plus liquid systems for awkward shapes, on garages, extensions, dormers and commercial buildings. A flat roof should not be flat in practice: we build in correct falls, fit proper edge trims and outlets, and detail penetrations carefully so water runs off as it should. Most flat roof failures come down to poor drainage or rushed detailing, so that is exactly where we focus.
We offer a 24/7 emergency roof repair service across Reading for storm damage, active leaks and exposed roof areas. If water is coming through, stay calm, avoid going onto the roof yourself, move valuables away from the leak and catch water in a container until we arrive. Where permanent repairs cannot be completed immediately due to weather or safety, we apply temporary waterproofing to protect the property, then return to complete the full repair.
We carry out chimney repointing, lead flashing and brickwork restoration to keep stacks stable and weather-tight, and remove unsafe stacks where needed. Our uPVC service covers fascias, soffits, bargeboards and guttering, installed to protect the roof edge, fix drainage and improve kerb appeal. We also clear moss by hand to protect your tiles and improve drainage, and remove legacy spray foam safely to restore ventilation and help with mortgage and survey requirements.
