Roofing Services in Dorset
At Mark Way, we provide reliable roofing services for homes and rental properties across Poole, Bournemouth and the wider Dorset area. Your roof is the first line of defence against the weather, so our priority is always to keep it safe, watertight and performing as it should. Whether you are dealing with a small leak, missing tiles or a roof that is clearly coming to the end of its life, we take a practical approach and explain everything in straightforward terms. We assess the roof as a whole, not just the obvious problem area, so you can decide with confidence whether a targeted repair or a more comprehensive solution is the right choice for your property and budget.
Roof Repairs and Leak Tracing
Not every roofing issue needs a full replacement. In many cases, a well-planned repair can add years of life to your existing roof and prevent further internal damage. At Mark Way, we help with jobs such as replacing broken or slipped tiles, fixing leaks around chimneys and roof windows, renewing failed ridge and hip mortar and putting right storm damage that has left parts of the roof exposed. We start with a careful inspection from inside and outside, where access allows, often using photos to show you precisely what we have found. From there, we outline your options, the likely lifespan of the repair and any underlying issues that might need attention in the future, so you are not left guessing.
New Roofs and Re-roofing
When a roof is badly worn, has widespread defects, or you are carrying out significant alterations, a re-roof is often the most sensible long-term answer. We work on pitched roofs in a range of materials, including concrete tiles, clay tiles and slate, removing the old covering, checking the structure beneath and replacing any damaged timbers before installing modern underlay and battens. New tiles, ridges and flashings are then fitted in line with current best practice to create a roof that not only looks smart from the street but also copes with wind, rain and temperature changes for many years to come. As part of the process, we can also look at insulation and ventilation, helping to improve comfort and efficiency inside the property while the roof is open.
Flat Roofs, Chimneys and Roofline
Flat roofs and roof details, such as chimneys and gutters, are familiar sources of problems if they are not installed or maintained correctly. We replace tired felt roofs with modern systems designed for longer service life, paying particular attention to falls so water drains away rather than sitting in shallow puddles. Chimneys are checked for loose brickwork, worn pointing and failing leadwork, and we can make redundant stacks safe where required. At the edges of the roof, we repair or replace fascias, soffits and guttering so that water is carried off the roof and away from the walls in a controlled way. By dealing with these elements together, we help create a complete roofing system where all the parts work properly, rather than fixing one issue while another is left ready to fail.

Some roofing problems are obvious; others are more subtle. It is worth getting us in to take a look if you notice signs such as damp patches on ceilings after rain, staining or mould in the loft, daylight visible through the roof where it should be solid, tiles or pieces of mortar on the ground, gutters regularly overflowing or a roof line that has started to sag or twist. The sooner these issues are investigated, the easier and more cost-effective they usually are to put right. We can arrange a convenient visit, assess the condition of your roof, discuss repair and replacement options, and provide a precise written quotation with no pressure to proceed.
