Roof maintenance: a practical guide for homeowners

Simple, safe ways to keep an eye on your roof and when to call a professional.

Look from the ground first

Most early warning signs can be seen safely from the ground or from an upstairs window. Binoculars help.

If you can access your loft safely, look for daylight through the roof, damp patches on timbers or underlay, and signs of condensation.

Blocked gutters and outlets are a common cause of damp. Keeping them clear — safely — helps protect walls and the roof edge.

If you notice damage, a leak, or you're unsure about anything you see, arrange a professional inspection rather than climbing onto the roof.

Condition checks, drainage checks and practical maintenance recommendations.

Practical repairs for tiles, slates, ridges, valleys and general roof damage, assessed properly first.

New gutters, leaking joints, blockages, damaged sections and downpipes.
