A small problem deserves a proper answer.
A slipped slate, a damp patch or water around a chimney can feel like the start of something bigger. Begin with a careful look at the cause, then consider the repair that makes sense for your roof.
Discuss your roof
Repair first. Replace when there is a reason.
Finding the source of a leak is the first step towards putting it right. Water can travel from a roof junction before appearing inside your home, so we consider the covering, leadwork, gutters and surrounding details together. We’ll explain what we find and talk through a suitable repair.
What to consider
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Leaks around chimneys, roof windows and abutments
- Defective ridges, valleys and localised weathering
- Signs of storm damage or recurring water ingress
What a useful repair quotation should tell you
We’ll help you understand the repair proposed, the materials and access arrangements, and what is included in the price. If a closer look reveals anything else that needs attention, we can discuss it with you before agreeing further work. Where the rest of the roof is sound, a targeted repair may be all you need.
Make the first conversation useful.
Tell us when you first noticed the problem, which room is affected and whether it happens only during rain. Photos taken safely from ground level or inside the property are helpful. You do not need to climb onto the roof.
Tell us about the roof and where the property is. There’s no need to know the technical name for the problem.
Your questions, answered.
Does a leak mean I need a new roof?
Not necessarily. An isolated defect may be repairable. The condition of the surrounding covering and the likelihood of further failures matter more than the presence of one leak.
Can you give a price from a photograph?
Yes, a photograph is a helpful starting point. Send what you can safely see and we’ll talk it through with you. If a visit is needed to check the cause, access or extent of the work, we’ll explain the next step before preparing your quotation.
Connected parts of your roof.
A little clarity.
A good next step.
Tell us what’s happening, or what you’re planning. We’ll start with the right questions.
