5 years' recorded experience. Domestic roofs only. Roof and gutter faults assessed separately.
A slipped tile or cracked mortar joint can look minor from the ground, yet the visible fault may only be part of the problem. We inspect damaged roof coverings, flashings, mortar and nearby junctions to establish where weather protection has failed. That assessment helps us decide whether a local repair will put matters right or whether deterioration extends further. Acting early can stop water reaching insulation, roof timbers and decorated ceilings, where a small external defect becomes a much more tiresome indoor problem.
Once we identify the failed detail, we remove damaged material and reinstate the weatherproof layer using a repair suited to the existing roof. We then review the surrounding area for displaced components or signs that water has travelled beyond the obvious fault. You get an explanation of what needs attention and why. If the inspection points to more extensive remedial work, we say so before treating a temporary patch as a permanent answer.
We trace the failed detail rather than covering the first visible symptom.
We check whether an isolated defect points to deterioration around it.
We work solely on homes, where safe access and disruption both matter.
Yes. Wind-driven rain can pass through a small opening and travel along underlay or timbers before appearing indoors. We inspect the tile and surrounding details to find the route of entry rather than assuming the damp patch sits below the fault.
Yes. If coverings, battens or connected details show wider deterioration, we explain what we find. A sound local repair is often suitable, but repeatedly patching a failing roof can cost more and leave the underlying problem unresolved.
We inspect the area, identify the failed component and agree the required work. Damaged material is removed, the weatherproofing is reinstated and the nearby roof is checked so the repair deals with the cause as well as the visible damage.
Call us with details of visible damage or damp so we can discuss a suitable roof inspection.
