Signs You May Just Need a Repair
⦁ A few missing or cracked tiles/slates: Localised damage can often be patched.
⦁ Minor leaks: Especially if they’re recent and isolated.
⦁ Flashing issues: Damaged flashing around chimneys or vents can be resealed or replaced.
⦁ Moss or algae growth: If caught early, this can be cleaned without replacing the roof.
Signs You Might Need a Full Replacement
⦁ Roof is 20+ years old: Most materials start to fail around this age.
⦁ Widespread curling, cracking, or missing tiles: Indicates systemic wear.
⦁ Sagging roofline: Could mean structural issues with the decking or supports.
⦁ Persistent leaks or water stains: Especially if they return after repairs.
⦁ Daylight visible in the attic: Gaps or holes in the roof boards are a red flag.
⦁ Mould, rot, or damp smells: Often a sign of long-term water ingress.
⦁ Multiple repairs in recent years: Sometimes it’s more cost-effective to start fresh

We start with a visual inspection of your interior (ceilings, attic, walls) to identify signs like water stains, mould, or damp insulation.
We check for missing or damaged tiles, cracked flashing, clogged gutters, and any visible wear around chimneys, vents, or skylights.
Depending on the issue, we:
- Replace broken tiles or slates
- Reseal or replace flashing
- Patch membrane punctures or cracks
We also offer optional follow-up inspections and roof maintenance plans to catch issues early and extend your roof’s lifespan.
- Check for missing, cracked, or loose tiles/slates
- Inspect flashing, chimneys, vents, and skylights for leaks or damage
- Examine gutters, downpipes, and fascia boards
- Look for moss, algae, or debris buildup
- Inspect loft/attic for signs of leaks, damp, or mould
- Check insulation and ventilation
- Look for daylight through roof
boards or sagging areas

Regular inspections help catch small issues before they become costly repairs. They’re especially useful after storms, before selling a home, or as part of routine maintenance.
- Spring: Check for winter storm damage, clear moss, and inspect flashing.
- Summer: Ideal time for repairs—dry weather helps sealants cure properly.
- Autumn: Clear leaves from gutters, trim trees, and prep for winter storms.
- Winter: Monitor for ice dams, leaks, and heavy snow buildup (if applicable).
