Roof Repairs
A slipped tile or a new damp patch is a reason to find out what has changed. We help you understand the repair options before deciding on the work.
Quality roofing. Built to last.
Putting the problem into words
Find the cause before choosing the repair.
A roof leak does not always start directly above the mark you see indoors. Water can travel before it becomes visible, so an assessment needs to consider the surrounding roof as well as the obvious symptom. Tell us when you first noticed the problem and whether wind or heavy rain seems to make it worse.
Slipped or cracked tiles, damaged slates and worn details around roof edges can all need attention. The condition of nearby materials matters too. A local repair may be suitable when the surrounding roof is sound; more widespread deterioration may need a different discussion. We will explain what is being proposed rather than assume every defect needs a replacement roof.
Leaks and damp marks
Note the room, when water appears and any change after rain. An existing stain alone cannot establish the condition of the roof today.
Access to the repair
Building height, extensions and the roof layout affect how the area can be reached. Access equipment belongs in the agreed quotation.
The details
Chimney and leadwork repairs.
Where a chimney meets the roof, lead flashing and surrounding tiles help direct rain away from the junction. Worn pointing or damaged leadwork can allow water through. Chimney and leadwork enquiries can cover these details and valleys, with the proposed repair based on what an inspection finds.
Looking after your roof
Roof inspections and maintenance.
If you are unsure what needs attention, an inspection can help you plan. Explain the concerns you have and any repairs already carried out. Ask which defects need addressing, which can be monitored and what maintenance is appropriate for the roof’s materials.
Useful answers
A few practical questions.
Does one broken tile mean I need a new roof?
Not necessarily. The surrounding tiles, supporting details and extent of deterioration need checking before repair or replacement is recommended.
What should I send with a repair enquiry?
Your postcode, a description of the problem and photographs taken safely from ground level are useful. Do not walk on the roof to investigate.
