Roof Leak — planning the work
Roof leak work starts with the roof covering, visible damage and safe access. The assessment should consider flashings, gutters, valleys, upstands and any hidden water paths, with temporary weather protection where appropriate and a permanent repair specification.
Questions about roof leak
Can the source of a roof leak be found from indoors?
Stains and drips help narrow the area, but the water may travel along rafters before emerging indoors. A safe external inspection is often necessary.
What should I do if rain is entering the roof?
Keep away from wet electrics, protect furnishings if safe, and avoid climbing onto a wet or unstable roof. Describe the leak and postcode when enquiring.
Can a temporary cover prevent further rain damage?
Where safe access and weather conditions permit, temporary weather protection may limit further exposure while the permanent repair is planned.
Do you repair both flat and pitched roof leaks?
Yes, the inspection approach depends on the roof construction. Felt, EPDM, GRP, tile, slate and flashing details need compatible repair methods.
What details affect the cost of a roof leak repair?
Roof height, pitch, access equipment, source of the leak, existing condition and the materials required determine the quotation.
