Roof Repairs in Falkirk & the Forth Valley
A small roof problem never stays small in the Scottish weather. A cracked tile, a bit of failed flashing or a gap in the ridge lets water in, and before long you have damp, stained ceilings and rot. F J Allan & Sons trace and fix roof leaks and damage properly the first time — across Falkirk, Grangemouth, Larbert, Stirling, Cumbernauld and the wider Forth Valley.
As qualified roofers we handle everything from a single slipped slate to full storm-damage repairs — and we’ll always tell you honestly whether a repair will do the job or whether it’s time to think about a new roof.

Roof problems we fix
Whatever’s letting the water in, we’ve repaired it hundreds of times.
Slipped, cracked & broken tiles
The most common cause of leaks. We refit or replace slipped, cracked or missing tiles and slates and check the surrounding area for hidden damage.
Leaking lead flashing
Failed flashing around chimneys, dormers and roof junctions is a classic leak point. We strip and re-dress it with proper leadwork that lasts.
Cracked & loose ridge tiles
When the mortar along the ridge cracks and washes out, wind-driven rain gets straight in. We re-bed and re-point ridge and hip tiles.
Flat roof leaks
Splits, failed joints, ponding water and worn edges on felt, EPDM or GRP flat roofs — patched or re-covered depending on condition.
Blocked & failed valleys
Debris and cracked valley linings send water into the roof instead of the gutter. We clear and re-line them.
Chimney leaks & repairs
Cracked flaunching, spalled brickwork and failed pointing let water track down the stack. We repair, re-point and re-flash chimneys.
Storm & wind damage
Lifted tiles, torn flashing and debris damage after a storm — made safe fast, then fully repaired (often insurance-friendly).
Leak tracing & damp
Water travels before it drips. We find the true source of a leak rather than guessing, so it’s fixed once, not patched repeatedly.
Every roof type
Slate roofs
Traditional Scottish slate — re-slating, individual slate replacement and full leak repairs.
Tiled roofs
Concrete and clay tile repairs, re-bedding, and matching replacement tiles.
Flat roofs
Felt, EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass flat-roof repairs and re-covers.
Rooflines & gutters
Fascias, soffits, bargeboards and guttering that cause leaks when they fail.
Why choose F J Allan for your roof repair?
We’re qualified, insured roofers — not a handyman with a ladder. That means proper leadwork, the right materials, and repairs that actually last through a Scottish winter. We give clear, fixed prices, turn up when we say we will, and we’ll never sell you a new roof when a repair will do. Every job is left clean and tidy, and backed by our workmanship.
What affects the cost of a roof repair?
Every roof repair is different, so we price each job on what it actually needs. The main factors are:
- The problem and its cause — a single slipped tile is a quick fix; a leak that has been tracking for months may need more.
- Access — a bungalow gutter vs a three-storey chimney are very different jobs.
- Materials — matching heritage slate or lead costs more than standard concrete tiles.
- Whether it’s a repair or a re-cover — we’ll always tell you honestly which makes sense.
You get a clear, fixed price after we’ve seen the roof — and no call-out gimmicks.

What our customers say
Roof repair FAQs
How quickly can you come out to a leak?
For urgent leaks and storm damage we aim to get out fast to make the roof safe, then book the permanent repair. Call us and we’ll give you a realistic time.
Can you find a leak you can’t see?
Yes — water often travels a long way before it drips inside. We trace leaks back to the true source rather than guessing, so the repair actually works.
Will my insurance cover storm damage?
Often, yes. If a storm, high winds or a falling branch caused the damage, your buildings insurance usually covers it. We can provide the report and photos you’ll need.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No gimmicks. We give you a clear, fixed price for the work after we’ve assessed the roof.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
It depends on the roof’s age and condition. We’ll give you an honest opinion — a good repair is often all that’s needed, and we’ll say so.
