A stain on the ceiling is rarely under the stain. Water runs along felt, rafters and party walls and shows up two metres away. Rob checks the loft, the flashing, the valley and the gutter before pricing anything. Several of the Google reviews are exactly this job: a previous company guessed, and the leak was still there.
Repairs are most of the diary. A dozen tiles, a short length of lead, a rebedded ridge. If the roof has years left, we will not talk you into stripping it. If it has not, we will say that too, and price the replacement separately so you can choose.
Storm call-outs across Havering are usually slipped tiles and lifted lead. WhatsApp a photo of the ceiling and the outside if you can see it — it saves a wasted visit and gets the right materials on the van.

Questions on roof repairs
Do you charge to look?
Ask when you call. For a straightforward Hornchurch or Romford look-see that turns into the repair, the inspection is part of the job. If you only want a written survey for a house purchase, that is priced on its own.
