A ceiling stain does not always sit directly below the roof defect. Water can track along rafters, felt or masonry before it becomes visible indoors. We inspect the roof covering and the vulnerable junctions that commonly admit water, then explain the likely route and recommended repair before work proceeds.
Leak detection & repairs for slate and tiled roofs
Checks may include displaced slate or tiles, damaged underlay, ridge and verge details, chimney flashing, wall abutments, roof valleys, pipe collars and the weathering around a roof window. On flat roofs, seams, outlets, upstands and ponding areas are considered. Inspection findings depend on safe access and the roof construction.
What the work involves
Once the cause is identified, the repair is matched to the roof: replacement slates or tiles, renewed flashing, local membrane repair, valley work or resealing of a roof penetration. If the evidence points to more than one issue, we will separate urgent water-entry repairs from longer-term maintenance options.
Every roof is assessed on its own condition, structure, access and exposure. Before we start, we explain the likely cause or proposed specification, the work involved and any limitations we can see. If a roof needs a wider repair than first expected, we discuss it with you before proceeding.
Roofing materials and details
Natural & fibre-cement slate
Slate roofs need correctly sized slates, sound fixings and careful detailing around ridges, valleys and abutments. Repair and renewal methods are chosen to suit the existing roof.
Clay & concrete tiles
Profile, pitch and interlock all affect the repair. We check for cracked or displaced tiles, failing ridge details and junctions that may admit wind-driven rain.
Flat roof systems
Felt, GRP and single-ply coverings each use different detailing and repair materials. We identify the system first and discuss a compatible solution.
