Common causes of leaking roofs and urgent repair enquiries
Water stains do not always show where rain entered. A missing or cracked tile, loosened ridge, damaged flashing, blocked valley, rooflight junction or failing felt edge can all lead to leaks. A sensible roof repair starts with finding the likely entry point and checking the surrounding covering before deciding on the scope of work.
Emergency roof repairs, storm damage and slipped tiles
If high winds have moved slates or a leak has started during heavy rain, avoid going onto the roof. Describe the problem when you call our 24/7 emergency roofing contact service. We can discuss safe steps, inspection arrangements and a free quotation, while any call-out remains subject to conditions and availability.
Should I repair a roof or replace it?
A single damaged tile may justify a local repair, while repeated leaks across an extensively worn covering may indicate wider work. For a deteriorating flat roof, see felt and flat roofing; for widespread replacement, see new roofs. Problems around brick stacks may need chimney and leadwork repairs.
