Active roof leaks

We trace where water is actually getting in, which is often not directly above the stain, and repair the source.

Water ingress

Damp patches, drips and staining investigated so the cause is fixed, not just the symptom inside.

Storm damage

Slipped or lifted roofing, loose edges and damaged flashings made watertight again after wind and heavy rain.

Damaged tiles and slates

Cracked, broken or missing tiles and slates replaced so rain can no longer get underneath.

Flashing repairs

Failed flashings around chimneys, walls and valleys resealed or renewed where water commonly finds a way in.

Edges and penetrations

Leaks around roof edges, vents, skylights and pipes checked and properly sealed.

Ceiling stains and drips

Brown marks, damp patches or dripping water are the most common signs of a roof leak.

Storm and wind damage

Strong winds lift and break roofing, leaving gaps for rain to get in.

Cracked or slipped roofing

Broken tiles, slipped slates and cracked coverings let water reach the layers beneath.

Failed flashings

Worn or loose flashing around chimneys, walls and valleys is a frequent leak point.

FAQs

Roof Leak Repairs FAQs

What commonly causes a roof leak?

Common causes include broken or slipped tiles and slates, failed flashings around chimneys and walls, damaged valleys, worn membranes, blocked gutters, and worn seals around vents, skylights and pipes.

Can a leaking roof be repaired without replacing the whole roof?

Often, yes. Many leaks come from a local problem such as a broken tile, failed flashing or a damaged section that can be repaired. Widespread wear may make replacement the better option, and we explain the options after inspecting.

What should I do if water is coming through my roof?

Move belongings away from the drip, catch water with a bucket and, if water is near light fittings, switch off the electricity to that area. Don't go onto the roof yourself. Then get the roof inspected as soon as possible.

Can damaged flashing cause roof leaks?

Yes. Flashing seals the joints around chimneys, walls and valleys. When it cracks, lifts or comes loose, rain can run straight into the roof structure.

Can broken roof tiles cause water ingress?

Yes. A cracked, slipped or missing tile or slate leaves a gap for rain to reach the felt and timbers underneath, which can lead to leaks inside.

Can storm damage lead to roof leaks?

Yes. High winds can lift or break roofing and loosen flashings and edges, and heavy rain then finds those gaps. It's worth having the roof checked after a storm.

Can I request a quote before repair work begins?

Yes. Fill in the form on this page or call 087 466 6010 and we will arrange a free, no-obligation quote before any work starts.
