Roof repair (tiles / leak tracing)

“They explained what was likely causing the leak, showed photos, and set expectations about what might be found once tiles were lifted. The fix has held up through heavy rain.”

Property type

Two-storey semi-detached, pitched tiled roof.

Problem

Intermittent ceiling staining after wind-driven rain; suspected tile / flashing pathway.

Outcome

Leak path reduced and monitored; immediate ingress stopped during subsequent storms.

Limitations / watch-outs

Some leaks only show once sections are opened. We document findings, but hidden underlay or timber issues may require additional work if discovered. See scope & limitations.

Guttering & rainwater handling

“Guttering was overflowing at the back of the house. They cleared the blockage, adjusted the fall, and pointed out two joints that will need replacing later. Straightforward and tidy.”

Property type

Rear elevation with uPVC gutters; limited access along a side passage.

Problem

Overflow during moderate rain; suspected blockage and poor fall causing pooling.

Outcome

Water flow improved after clearance and alignment; reduced splash-back near brickwork.

Limitations / watch-outs

Cleaning and re-leveling helps, but aged seals and stressed joints can still fail later. We flag likely future replacements so you can plan budget and timing.

Inspection / maintenance planning

“Booked for an inspection after buying a terrace. The report and checklist were useful, especially the notes on ventilation and moss. No pressure to upsell.”

Property type

Victorian-style terrace with mixed roof details (ridge, valleys, rear extension).

Problem

New purchase: needed prioritised maintenance list and clear “what to watch next”.

Outcome

Actionable checklist: ventilation considerations, moss management, and rainwater routes.

Limitations / watch-outs

Visual inspections can’t confirm every concealed condition (beneath coverings or in inaccessible voids). Where access is limited, we note it clearly and suggest next checks.
