Roof Leak Repairs
Water rarely enters where the stain appears. Finding the source is the first and most important part of fixing a leak.
About this service
Roof Leak Repairs from Master Roofing & Flat Roofing
Leaks can come from many places: a slipped tile, failed flashing, a worn valley, a cracked chimney, a blocked gutter or condensation in the roof space. The visible damp patch is often some distance from the point of entry.
We assess the roof and surrounding details, explain the most likely cause and recommend a repair that addresses it properly.
Safety first
If water is coming through a ceiling, switch off electrics in the affected area if it is safe to do so, and do not stand beneath a bulging ceiling.
Common sources of roof leaks
- Slipped, cracked or missing tiles
- Failed lead flashing around chimneys and walls
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Deteriorated ridge mortar
- Blocked or overflowing gutters
- Condensation mistaken for a leak
Options
How we approach a leak
Information gathering
Where and when the leak appears, and in what weather, can narrow the cause.
External assessment
Checking coverings, flashing, valleys, chimneys and drainage around the area.
Internal check
Where accessible, looking in the loft for signs of water tracking.
Targeted repair
Repairing the identified source and explaining what was done.
Benefits and practical considerations
- Some leaks only occur in specific wind and rain conditions and may take time to trace.
- Internal damage such as ceilings and plaster may need a separate trade.
- If you have buildings insurance, keep photographs of the damage.
