How to reduce the risk of roof leaks

Where leaks usually start and the checks that help prevent them.

Leaks start at junctions

Chimneys, valleys, abutments and roof windows are the most vulnerable points. Flashing and seals at these junctions deserve regular checks.

A single slipped tile lets wind under neighbouring tiles. Dealing with small issues early can prevent larger repairs.

Not every damp patch is a leak. Poor ventilation in the roof space can cause condensation that looks similar.

Tracing the likely source of water ingress and repairing the cause, not just the symptom.

Repairing and renewing flashing at chimneys, walls, valleys and roof penetrations.

Masonry, flaunching, pots and flashing repairs to keep chimney stacks sound.
