Roof Repairs
A roof leak does not always originate directly above the internal stain. Water can track along felt, battens, rafters and masonry before becoming visible. Effective repairs begin with diagnosing the actual path of water ingress.
How it works
Typical causes include slipped or cracked tiles, damaged slates, failed flashings, blocked outlets, defective valleys, deteriorated membranes, storm damage and problems around chimneys or roof penetrations.
Important: The right specification depends on the property, roof pitch, exposure, structure and existing roof condition. A site inspection is the best way to confirm the correct system.

What affects the lifespan of a roof?
Material quality matters, but installation and detailing are equally important. Roof pitch, wind exposure, ventilation, drainage, fixings, junction details and routine maintenance all influence how a roof performs over time.
