- Localised leak repair: usually 1 day.
A leak rarely comes from where the stain appears: water enters through a slipped tile, a poorly sealed valley or a blocked gutter and travels along the structure before dropping inside. We repair tiled roofs, flat roofs and terraces across the Costa Blanca by locating the real source before intervening, so the problem does not return season after season.
We replace broken, cracked or wind-slipped tiles, rebuild valleys and ridges, repair and clear gutters and downpipes, and seal junctions with chimneys, skylights and walls. On flat roofs and terraces we repair or renew the waterproofing and improve falls and outlets so water drains away properly.
After the inspection we tell you honestly whether a localised repair is enough or whether, given the overall condition, it pays to renew the roof or reinforce the insulation. We work with safety lines and equipment, leave the roof clear of debris, and hand over the repair with a written guarantee so there is a record.

Everything we do
Every job we take on within this service, with the detail of how we carry it out. The price is always fixed after the survey.
Inspection and diagnosis
Tracing the source of a leak
- What we do
- We find the real point of entry, which rarely sits above the stain.
- How we do it
- We work up the roof from the stain, following the fall and the valleys, because water gets in high up and appears metres below. We hose it in sections until we reproduce the drip.
Loft inspection
- What we do
- Checking the underside of the roof and the timber structure.
- How we do it
- From inside you can see the actual track of the water across the battens and boarding, and catch rot before anything gives way. It is half the diagnosis, and the half almost nobody does.
Post-storm check
- What we do
- Inspecting the roof after strong winds or a gota fría.
- How we do it
- A hard levante shifts tiles without breaking them, and the damage only shows from up top. Checking after the storm and re-setting four tiles heads off the leak that would appear at the next rain.
Photographic report
- What we do
- A document setting out the roof condition and the scope of the repair.
- How we do it
- We provide photographs taken from the roof itself, the source pinpointed and the work itemised. It is what the loss adjuster or community administrator needs — and what an owner who is not in Spain needs too.
Repair-or-renew assessment
- What we do
- An honest view on whether a targeted repair is enough or renewal makes sense.
- How we do it
- If there is one weak point, we repair it and that is the end of it. If the roof has several and the waterproofing is spent, repairing piecemeal costs more than renewing — and we say so.
Tiled roofs
Replacing broken tiles
- What we do
- Swapping out cracked, split or wind-slipped tiles.
- How we do it
- We match the model and curvature, sourcing weathered tiles on an older roof so a new patch does not stand out. We clip the verge and ridge tiles, which are the ones the levante lifts.
Valleys and ridges
- What we do
- Repairing the junction lines and the crown of the roof.
- How we do it
- We rebuild the valley with metal soaker under the tile rather than trusting mortar alone, which cracks with thermal movement. The ridge is dry-fixed with vented tiles so the void underneath can breathe.
Chimney and skylight junctions
- What we do
- Sealing where the roof meets a vertical element.
- How we do it
- We fit metal flashing chased into the masonry and lapped over the tile below. A junction held together with mastic alone is the leak we come back to every two or three years.
Renewing battens and boarding
- What we do
- Replacing timber under the tiles where an old leak has taken its toll.
- How we do it
- We strip the tiles off that slope, replace the damaged timber and lay a breather membrane before re-setting. Putting tiles back on rotten battens is covering the symptom.
Nests, weeds and debris
- What we do
- Clearing the roof and the growth taking hold in joints and channels.
- How we do it
- Weeds and moss hold water in the joint and wick it under the tile. We clean without a high-pressure washer, which strips the mortar out and makes things worse on an old roof.
Flat roofs and terraces
Localised waterproofing repair
- What we do
- A targeted patch where the rest of the roof is sound.
- How we do it
- We cut back to sound material, prime and patch with a generous lap onto healthy membrane. We only recommend it where the damage is genuinely localised: on brittle old felt, a patch lasts as long as the felt beside it.
Full roof-terrace renewal
- What we do
- Replacing spent waterproofing on a flat roof.
- How we do it
- We strip the old felt, correct the falls and lay a new system with reinforcement at upstands and gullies. On communal roofs we plan the access and material storage to disturb residents as little as possible.
Ponding and falls
- What we do
- Correcting the spots where water sits after rain.
- How we do it
- We form the fall to the outlet in lightweight screed before the waterproofing goes down. No membrane is designed to live submerged, and a permanent puddle will finish off even the best one.
Outlets and overflows
- What we do
- Renewing the drainage and adding an emergency outlet for heavy rain.
- How we do it
- We fit gullies with a flange bonded into the membrane and add an overflow through the parapet. In a gota fría, if the gully clogs with leaves, the overflow stops the roof becoming a pond sitting on your slab.
Parapets and copings
- What we do
- Repairing the perimeter wall and the coping that finishes it.
- How we do it
- We renew the coping with a drip and a fall inwards, and take the membrane up the upstand terminated in a chase. A coping without a drip lets water run down and stain the whole facade.
Drainage, insulation and handover
Gutter clearing
- What we do
- Removing the leaves, silt and nests stopping the gutter draining.
- How we do it
- Saharan dust and leaves form a plug that, in heavy rain, sends the gutter over the facade and back behind the tiles. We check it in autumn, before the rainy season arrives.
Gutter and downpipe replacement
- What we do
- Replacing broken, sagging or undersized runs.
- How we do it
- We fit with the correct fall to the downpipe and enough brackets that the weight of water cannot pull it away. We size the section for a gota fría downpour, not for average rainfall.
Insulation under the roof
- What we do
- Improving thermal insulation to cut the heat in upper floors.
- How we do it
- We lay insulation over the loft floor or spray it under the boarding. In a penthouse here it does more to cut your August air-conditioning bill than any other single measure.
Ventilation and condensation
- What we do
- Improving the ventilated void to stop condensation damp.
- How we do it
- We open an air intake at the eaves and an outlet at the ridge with vented tiles. A stain that appears when it has not rained is not a leak, it is condensation — and coating it in waterproofer only makes it worse.
Final test and guarantee
- What we do
- Checking water-tightness and handing the repair over in writing.
- How we do it
- We hose the treated area thoroughly and check inside before we leave. We take all the debris off the roof and hand over the guarantee documented with photographs of the work.

Frequently asked questions
How much does roof repair cost in Alicante?
It depends on the source of the leak, how accessible the roof is, the type of roof (tiled, flat or terrace) and whether a repair is enough or a section must be renewed. That is why we fix the price after the inspection. Ask for a no-obligation quote and we detail it before starting.
Where does a leak really come from?
Almost never from where the stain appears on the ceiling. Water enters through a slipped tile, a poorly sealed valley or junction, or a blocked gutter, and travels along the structure before dropping inside. That is why we inspect the roof to find the real source rather than just covering the stain.
Is it better to repair the roof or redo it entirely?
It depends on the overall condition. If the damage is localised, a targeted repair solves it and is cost-effective. If the roof has several weak points or the waterproofing is spent, renewing avoids repeated repairs each season. After the inspection we give you our honest recommendation.
Do you work with communities and insurers?
Yes. We repair roofs on individual homes and on communities, and issue a report and detailed quote, useful if the damage is handled through insurance or the owners’ community. We coordinate access and the safety equipment needed for working at height.
Is the roof repair guaranteed?
Yes. Roof repairs carry a written guarantee on labour and the water-tightness of the treated area, plus the manufacturer guarantee on the waterproofing materials. You receive it on completion so there is a record of what was done, useful if you manage the property remotely.
