5 years' recorded experience. Domestic properties only. Roof coverings, leaks and chimneys assessed.
A ceiling mark near a chimney may begin at failed pointing, flashing, a valley or a damaged tile some distance away. We carry out domestic roofing work in Rochester with careful investigation at the centre of the visit. Roof leak repairs and tile work are considered alongside chimney details where the symptoms overlap. That means we follow the likely route of water instead of replacing the nearest visible tile and waiting for the next rainfall to test the theory.
Before we attend, tell us where damp or dripping appears, which elevation seems affected and when the problem is most noticeable. Safe ground-level photographs can be useful, particularly around slipped tiles or the chimney stack. We also need to understand side and rear access so suitable inspection arrangements can be considered. This preparation keeps a Rochester visit focused on the likely fault while avoiding unsafe requests for you to climb up and take a closer look.
We do not assume the indoor stain sits directly below the defect.
We assess flashing, pointing and nearby coverings where damp overlaps.
We consider tile profile and dimensions on established domestic roofs.
Yes. We inspect roofing-related chimney defects, including failed flashing, deteriorated pointing and damage to nearby tiles. We consider the stack and surrounding covering together because water can enter through several connected details.
Tell us where the staining appears, when it worsens and whether you can see damaged tiles or chimney details from ground level. Mention the affected elevation and any restricted access so we can plan the inspection sensibly.
Yes, where a local repair is suitable and the surrounding covering remains sound. We inspect why the tile cracked or moved and check nearby fixings and weatherproof details before deciding that replacement of one tile is enough.
Call us with the leak pattern, visible damage and access details so we can plan a domestic inspection.
