What to Do When Your Roof Starts Leaking
Move belongings away from the drip, catch the water in a bucket and, if water is near light fittings, switch off that circuit. Don't climb onto a wet roof yourself.
Then call us. We prioritise active leaks, make the area safe and find the real cause, which is often a cracked tile, failed pointing, a blocked or rusted valley, or a lifted flashing some distance from the stain.
Signs Your Ridge Capping Needs Attention
Look for gaps or cracks along the ridge lines, crumbling mortar, ridge caps that look uneven, and leaks that appear along the line of a ridge or hip.
Catching failed pointing early means a simple repoint rather than a full rebed, and it stops loose caps from moving or falling in strong winds.
When an Older Roof Can Be Saved
If most tiles are sound and the battens underneath are firm, an older roof can usually be repaired or restored for much less than replacement.
We check tile condition, batten condition and the roof frame, then give you an honest recommendation.
