About this service
Pinpoint the issue before repairing
A roof problem can be obvious from outside or show up as a stain indoors. The right repair begins by locating the cause and understanding the roof around it, rather than treating a symptom in isolation.

Common questions
Can a leaking roof always be fixed with a small repair?
Not always. The visible leak may be some distance from its source, and the condition of nearby materials matters. The roof needs assessing before the scope can be advised.
What information helps with a repair enquiry?
Tell us where the problem is, when you noticed it and whether it changes in heavy rain or wind. Photographs taken safely from the ground can help start the conversation.
Will a repair match the existing roof?
The material, age and condition of the surrounding roof all affect the options. Matching and the extent of the repair should be discussed after the roof is assessed.
Should I go onto the roof to check the damage?
No. Stay off the roof and keep clear of any loose material below. Describe what you can see from a safe position instead.
