Recommendation needed: Roof repairer

My single storey house roof needs some basic repairs done to fix up leaks during heavy rain. No real damage, just wear and tear.
Any recommendations?

Yes, I am trying to get the pads closer to the elbows. At the moment it sits half way between my elbow and wrist. Just looking for longer bars.

WTB: aero bar extensions

I am setting up one of my bikes with aero bars. Never used them before.
However, I am a little taller than the average person, and find the standard 28-30cm extension bars too short.
Does anyone have a old or surplus bars they can sell me? Pref something which is 40cm in length.
