Working With Property Managers
We send a written quote before work starts, coordinate access with tenants, and provide photos and a short summary when the job is done.
For recurring issues, we can recommend a maintenance schedule so small faults don't turn into urgent repairs.
How We Find and Fix Roof Leaks
A ceiling stain rarely sits directly under the cause. Water can run along battens, sarking or a valley before it drips through, so we trace the leak back from the inside mark to the point where water is getting in.
The usual culprits are cracked or slipped tiles, failed ridge pointing, rusted valley irons, lifted flashings and gaps around vents, skylights and solar brackets. Once we've found the source, we fix that cause rather than patching the symptom, and check the area around it for the next weak spot.
Flexible Pointing Explained
Older roofs were pointed with a cement mix that cracks as the roof moves with heat and cold. Modern flexible pointing stays slightly elastic, so it holds a seal for much longer.
When we repoint, we prepare the ridge, apply flexible pointing in a consistent bead and tool it neatly so water runs off rather than sitting on the ridge.
