Water can travel away from its entry point, so the nearest visible stain is not always the cause. We inspect the wider roof detail, provide photographic findings and clearly separate confirmed defects from areas that remain concealed or inaccessible.
Start with the property and the intended result
A useful scope records the condition that can be seen, the areas to be included, the required finish and any access constraints. Photographs and measurements help establish what can be priced remotely and what needs an inspection.
Work that may form part of the scope
Roof repairs
Targeted repair of identified defects to tiles, coverings, flashings and accessible roof components.
Flat roofing
Repair and renewal options for suitable flat roofs, including modern membrane systems where appropriate.
Pitched roofing
Localised work to tiles, slates, ridges, verges and associated weathering details.
Leadwork
Repair or replacement of agreed flashings and weathering details using a suitable specification.
Chimney repairs
Accessible repointing, flaunching, flashing and localised masonry repairs, subject to condition and access.
Before work begins
Ask for a written quotation that records the agreed work, access method, assumptions and exclusions. If concealed defects are found during the job, they should be reported and approved before additional chargeable work proceeds.
A common question
Can you guarantee that one repair will stop a leak?
A warranty can apply to the specific work completed, but not to unrelated defects elsewhere on an ageing roof. The quotation will state the extent of cover.
