Advice
Roofing advice — plain-English.
What the symptoms mean, when to inspect, and how repair-vs-replace decisions are usually made.
Advice
Signs your roof needs an inspection
Slipped tiles, damp patches on top-floor ceilings, moss build-up and blocked gutters all point to a roof that would benefit from a proper inspection before winter.
Decision support
Repair or replace? How the decision is usually made
Age, the condition of the fixings and battens, how much of the covering is failing and whether the same problem keeps returning all shape whether a roof should be repaired or replaced.
Emergency
Storm damage: what to do first
Make people safe, protect the inside of the property, record what happened for your insurer — and get the roof made safe before arranging the permanent repair.
Maintenance
Moss on a roof: when it matters and how it should be removed
Moss is common on north-facing and sheltered slopes. It matters when it dams water, blocks gutters or hides a defect — and how it is removed matters as much as whether it is removed.
Materials
Flat roof options explained: felt, GRP and EPDM
Torch-on felt, GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber all work — the right choice depends on the deck, the shape of the roof, the detailing and how long you need it to last.
Advice
Why so many roof leaks start at the chimney
Chimneys interrupt the roof covering, so they rely on flashings, flaunching and pointing — the parts that weather first and are most often patched with cement.
Book a roof inspection or drone survey
Documented findings before any repair is quoted. Suitable for pre-purchase checks, storm-event assessment and inaccessible roofs.
